Feministing Jamz: The pussy eating edition

Have you been stressed out? May I make a recommendation?

Pussy-eating is a great de-stressor, whether you’re doing the pussy eating or getting yours eaten (personally, I highly recommend both). And you know what’s super feminist? Women’s sexual pleasure. I mean, what do you think all these reproductive health care access restrictions are about in the end? In these legislators’ ideal worlds, female sexual pleasure should never go unpunished. Fuck that!

But maybe you’re at work right now, or you don’t have a boo handy, or you’re on your way out to buy groceries. Maybe a good option right now is to listen to this playlist of songs that celebrate eating pussy: also a great de-stressor.

You need to be logged in to a Spotify account to stream the playlist. You can sign up free here.

Some of my favorite feminist moments in this playlist:

  • When Missy Elliot has no time for stigmatizing sex workers: “Girls girls, get that cash, if it’s 9-5 or shakin’ that ass. Ain’t no shame ladies do your thing, just make sure you ahead of the game.” Yes ma’am!
  • When Kim, in How Many Licks – she makes two appearances on this playlist, badass that she is  – dedicates an entire verse to incarcerated men. A+ for acknowledging this country’s mass imprisonment problem.
  • How all the women on this playlist demand their pleasure, confidently, knowing that they deserve to feel good. Get it!

Verónica Bayetti Flores has spent the last years of her life living and breathing reproductive justice. She has led national policy and movement building work on the intersections of immigrants' rights, health care access, young parenthood, and LGBTQ liberation, and has worked to increase access to contraception and abortion, fought for paid sick leave, and demanded access to safe public space for queer youth of color. In 2008 Verónica obtained her Master’s degree in the Sexuality and Health program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She loves cooking, making art, listening to music, and thinking about the ways art forms traditionally seen as feminine are valued and devalued. In addition to writing for Feministing, she is currently spending most of her time doing policy work to reduce the harms of LGBTQ youth of color's interactions with the police and making sure abortion care is accessible to all regardless of their income.

Verónica is a queer immigrant writer, activist, and rabble-rouser.
