On this week’s episode of the Waves, Christina, Marcia, and Nichole discuss the Democratic primary debates, analyzing the gendered dynamics that played out both onstage and in candidates’ reception. Will key moments like the confrontation between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have a lasting impact? And what should we make of the strange saga of Marianne Williamson? Then, HBO’s high school drama Euphoria has quickly become one of the most controversial shows of the summer. Its authentic portrayal of addiction and centering of marginalized teens feel significant, but is its depiction of sex and nudity honest or just needlessly salacious? Finally, the hosts debate the merits of Chief and other exclusive networking spaces for women, sharing some of their own experiences with groups like these and considering whether replicating the “old boys’ club” model is really a feminist endeavor.

In Slate Plus: Is the #UnwantedIvanka meme sexist?
