She's a sex worker rights advocate, a comedian, a writer, the host of the whole the oldest profession podcast. And today we're going to talk about some of the history and misconceptions that people have about sex workers. So Caitlin, welcome to the show.
It's a pleasure to have you one. Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate being here. Okay, so we say that prostitution is the oldest profession in the world, right? So how old is it actually?
And how can we know that? I mean, do we look at archaeology, andhrology, or what? Archaeologists will absolutely quibble with you on this. I believe that. midwifery is probably the oldest profession.
