Listen to "E20: Sexy Costumes & Slut Shaming: A Halloween History" — an episode from the Behind the Paddle BDSM podcast, on THE CAGE.
In this episode, we dive into the world of Halloween costumes, slut-shaming, and the evolution of gender norms around dressing up. We'll unpack the origins of the “sexy costume” as a queer culture celebration, explore Halloween’s roots and the influence of gender stereotypes, and examine the fortune-telling rituals of 1800s Scotland and Ireland when busy women sought glimpses of their future husbands. Join us as we challenge assumptions, celebrate self-expression, and uncover the fascinating history that shapes our modern Halloween traditions.
