About this episode
Body acceptance, feminism, sex positivity… these are not topics you would expect to be discussed by an economist. Most people would be even more surprised to see a university professor with a Phd discussing these topics while nude. Yet that is exactly what Dr. Victoria Bateman has been doing. In this episode we discuss her experiences protesting the patriarchal establishment as well as her two books, “Naked Feminism” and “The Sex Factor”.
