On this week’s episode of the Waves, Christina, Marcia, Nichole, and June discuss the firing of the Rev. Amy Butler, a prominent progressive pastor at Riverside Church. Butler had recently accused a member of the church’s governing council of sexual harassment—but she also had a formal harassment claim filed against her after she allegedly took three members of the congregation to a sex shop. Then, Aziz Ansari has returned to the spotlight for the first time since allegations of misconduct were raised against him in 2018. The resulting Netflix special, Right Now, engages with the #MeToo story immediately but stops short of a real apology. What should we make of Ansari’s approach, and how does it compare with other comics like Louis C.K.? Finally, the hosts unpack the case of Sarah Milov, whose work was central to a recent episode of Here & Now but went uncredited by the male historians on the show.
In Slate Plus: Is it sexist to call the conflict between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi a “feud”?
