To celebrate our Dirty Thirty episode, we are uncovering a bit of dirty history surrounding the world's oldest profession here in the good old U.S. of A.

 

 

The Chamberlain-Kahn Act of 1918

In the midst of a pandemic AND a world War, the U.S government spent a cool million trying to curb the rampant spread of V.D by attacking the "problem"...Women. 

 

 

 

You'll be shocked to hear the horrible methods used on women, and find out why this could still be a problem for lady-folk today. 

Stayed tuned for more "Quarantine Edition" sluts, and our Change. Org to finally get the Chamberlain-Kahn Act abolished.
