I have known women who did nude shoots and at the time I was like “…uh, will you own the IP?” and they were convinced they did, only to find out later they didn’t. Double bind there because any advice would have been overbearing on my part, but it turns out if you don’t own the IP you don’t own the “means of production” so to speak and some random rich dude will. So 2nd wave is sorta right, in some ways, but 3rd wave is also right since they emphasize self-autonomy over blanket ideology. But it seems like capitalism and law don’t care about enthusiasm and self-discovery, just $, and money is always power. I’ve never thought about this before, but I suppose in a sense 2nd wave was maybe more tightly coupled to Marxism. Some modern feminists are anti sex work still though, which seems more in the spirit of the views of the two women in the interview. So perhaps Grace was annoyed with the notion that she wasn’t in control of her own decisions when it comes the the money game or something along those lines.
