On this week’s episode of the Waves, Christina, Marcia, and Nichole are joined by Alex Barasch to discuss the ruling against Olympic runner Caster Semenya, who will now be forced to medically suppress her natural testosterone levels if she wants to compete. Together, they unpack the actual science and the biases underpinning the decadelong scrutiny of Semenya’s body and gender. Then, Netflix’s new adult cartoon Tuca & Bertie has been hailed as a feminist breakthrough for the genre—but can issues like sexual harassment and trauma really translate to neatly resolved arcs for a half-hour animated comedy? Finally, the hosts take on the viral Harper’s piece “How Men Became ‘Emotional Gold Diggers,’ ” discussing how they’ve seen this dynamic play out in their own lives—and debating whether the imbalance the story describes is as straightforward as its reception suggests.
