On this week’s episode of the Waves, Christina, June, and Noreen discuss Claire Cain Miller’s New York Times longread, “Women Did Everything Right. Then Work Got ‘Greedy.’ ” What do the data tell us about the current culture of work in America, and how do these revelations apply to couples unlike the highly paid, heterosexual pairs featured in the piece? Then, actor Olivia Munn penned a viral essay condemning the Fug Girls, a pair of freelancers who run the fashion blog Go Fug Yourself, as complicit in “the suppression of women.” The hosts discuss the changing relationship between stars and critics in the Twitter era, as well as how best to write about (and occasionally poke fun at) fashion without denigrating the wearer. Finally, the new HBO series Gentleman Jack tells the true story of Anne Lister, described by creator Sally Wainwright as “the first modern lesbian.” The show gives its unorthodox heroine the full period drama treatment—but is that a radical act in itself, or does it reduce her fascinating life to something overly staid?
