In this episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry & Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire and Special Guest Learned Hand Kristine Kippins ask: What are the Westerosi laws around sex work, reproductive rights, gender expression, and sexual discrimination?
Our analysis this week includes:
This episode is the capper to Episode Six, Let's Talk About Sex, Pt. I, which discusses laws around love, sex and marriage generally. Both episodes should carry trigger warnings for frank discussions of things like rape, sexual violence, and incest.
Supplemental materials:
-Kristine's podcast Ima Need More Wine.
-Lo’s wonderful essay on Alleras the Sphinx, and also go read Lo The Lynx's new blog.
-The Public Medievalist on gender, sexism, and the middle ages.
-Buck v. Bell (1925) at Oyez.
-Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) at Oyez.
