On this week’s episode of the Waves, Hanna, Noreen, and Slate’s Rachelle Hampton take on Curvy Wife Guy, who’s back in the spotlight thanks to the release of his new music video, “Chubby Sexy.” They unpack the controversy and what it reveals about the state of the body positivity movement as a whole. Then, incels are seeking out plastic surgery to achieve their image of the ideal man, driven by a warped understanding of what women want—and by their own brutal dissections of one another’s appearances. Is this new “male-on-male” gaze unique to incels, or is it part of a larger shift in the way men think about their bodies? Finally, the hosts discuss the new season of Fleabag, reflecting on its frank depiction of sisterhood and refreshing approach to both platonic and romantic love.
In Slate Plus: Was coverage of Elizabeth Warren’s undisclosed legal work sexist?
