Chippendales - A Twisted Tale of Misogyny, Arson, and Murder-for-hire
Manage episode 297884455 series 2919086
Chippendales has become an iconic American institution. Just hearing the name conjures up instant images of oiled-up guys flexing their pecs, wearing bow ties (and very little else), and gyrating for a crowd of screaming ladies.
But if your knowledge of Chippendales ends there, you're missing out on a story where the rise of feminism, the American immigrant dream, and greed combine to create a dark and twisted story. The true story of Chippendales includes arson, hired assassins, and incredibly dumb business decisions, all fueled by jealousy, insecurity, and greed.
For this episode’s charity, we recommend making a contribution to the Sex Workers Outreach Project. They’re a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of people involved in the sex trade and their communities, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education and advocacy. Check them out at http://swopusa.org. As always, send us a screenshot of your donation receipt and we’ll match it.
