Today we are talking about the horrific lies of Ash Regan and the uneducated people who supported her bill. Mixing up consensual sex work and trafficking, making vocal sex workers ghosts who have no voice when spoken. The laughs by the supports of the Nordic model when told about the facts and evidence the Nordic model does indeed endanger not just sex workers but trafficked women. I was there at Parliament sitting in the seats as they mocked women who consented to sex work.
Let me bring you through what trauma i/we all endured sitting there having to be in silence just like how they want our voices.

What if everything you've been taught about being "normal" is actually rooted in systems of oppression? Welcome to a thought-provoking journey through the hidden forces that shape our understanding of executive functioning and neurodivergence.
Diving into Ellie Middleton's "How to Be You," we explore how capitalism has trained us to equate our worth with productivity and independence. When profit becomes more important than people, our natural variations in planning, focus, and organization are reframed as personal failings rather than simply different ways of processing the world. We unpack how government cuts to support services have made it even harder for neurodivergent people to access the accommodations they need.

The men didn't think the women could do it. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion were an amazing group of women who stared into the faces of inequality, racism and sexism whom defined all odds. Everyone was against the women they didn't think they could sort 17million pieces of mail. In WW2 leaders thought that low moral was the cause of so many dying so they put 6888 Battalion in charge. Please listen to the amazing story of how the fight for coloured women's rights made a mark in history.

In this episode of Behindthepaddle, we take a critical look at the widely circulated booklet Decriminalisation vs the Nordic Model. Rather than debating ideology, this episode focuses on how the argument is constructed — from the emotional framing in the opening pages to the way evidence from New Zealand, Germany, and Europe is later presented.
We unpack how language, selective survivor testimony, and eye-catching statistics are used to guide the reader toward a predetermined conclusion, and why this matters for anyone engaging in good-faith conversations about sex work policy. This isn’t about denying harm — it’s about asking whether harm reduction debates can be honest, nuanced, and evidence-based.
If you’ve ever been sent this booklet as a “gotcha,” this episode offers the context needed to read it more critically.

Today we will be talking about International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This day exists because too many people who sold sex were harmed, ignored, disappeared, and killed and because the world decided that was acceptable, or at least inevitable.
Some sex workers' deaths,assaults, disappearances aren't even accounted for.
For the people whose lives were reduced to headlines that began with “Prostitute found…” Never questioned why, why did they happen. What can we do to prevent it.

Before BDSM had a place in the public eye, one woman stepped into the frame and smiled through the ropes. In this Behindthepaddle deep dive, Victoria explores how Bettie Page a Southern girl with a homemade fringe revolutionised erotic culture.
