In honor of Megan Thee Stallion’s THOT Shit release, we talk about the history of being considered a hoe, the politics of body autonomy, and the practice of pleasure activism. We get into the origin of the word, the work of pleasure activists, the history of control over black women’s bodies, and how to pursue personal liberation.
