On this week’s episode of the Waves, Christina, Marcia, and Nichole discuss the Women’s World Cup. The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team came under fire for celebrating every goal when they defeated the Thai team 13–0—but “sportsmanship” has long been used to police how women and people of color conduct themselves on the field. Was the criticism fair, and what might this World Cup might reveal about women’s sports more generally? Then, Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ departure from the White House has sparked an evaluation of the ways in which she, Hope Hicks, and Kellyanne Conway made the president’s lies palatable to the public. The trio is among the most prominent women in the Trump administration—how did their gender factor into their work as communicators (or obfuscators) of his intentions? Finally, the hosts debate the likely efficacy of the U.K.’s ban on sexist stereotypes in advertising, considering how companies have historically signaled certain values and how that might change in the age of increasingly targeted advertising.
In Slate Plus, a question from a listener: Is homework sexist?
