On this week’s episode of the Waves, Hanna, June, and Noreen discuss Wil Hylton’s New York Times Magazine cover story, “My Cousin Was My Hero. Until the Day He Tried to Kill Me.” It offers a moving (and distressing) exploration of the two men’s most destructive decisions and impulses—but is masculinity really the root cause of it all? Then, environmentalism is increasingly pioneered by women—and, with the advent of the zero-waste movement, increasingly gendered. How did we get from the self-empowering rhetoric of Mr.
Money Mustache to the minimalist perfectionism of Instagram influencers, and is that necessarily a good thing? Finally, as so-called heartbeat bills sweep the nation, the hosts discuss the race to limit abortion access and escalate a challenge to Roe v. Wade, reflecting on how we got here and what comes next.
In Slate Plus: Is it sexist to criticize Constance Wu’s response to Fresh Off the Boat’s renewal?
