Progress Made and Progress Lost: Politics and Rape Culture
Pantsuit Politics Family:Â We recorded this episode early Sunday morning before much was known about the tragedy at Pulse in Orlando. Â We will attempt to discuss more about the complexities of this act of terror, hate crime, and mass shooting at another time. Â For now, our hearts are with every person impacted.Â
We are emotionally drained this week. Â In the Pearls, Sarah gets to celebrate the nomination of Hillary Clinton and President Obama's and Elizabeth Warren's endorsements. Â We then sadly turn our attention to violence in Tel Aviv and Orlando. Â We applaud the bravery of two Texas valedictorians who used their platforms to discuss our broken immigration system. Then, in The Suit, we discuss the Stanford case as a starting point for talking about rape culture and how we move forward. Â Finally, in The Heels, we talk about Made in America and how our lives are becoming history.Â
