Episode notes

There's an idea that men will stay together on this topic and won't actually look at the reality of the situation. Unfortunately, there are so many stories of Black women trying to express and tell their stories of trauma and survivorship. There is this idea that Black women have to be a perfect victim. And even when we are, there isn't the same sort of attention or rallying or outcry when Black women are harmed is when Black men are harmed.

Megan Thee Stallion is everywhere — including in court, testifying against the rapper Tory Lanez, who is charged with shooting her. Vox’s Fabiola Cineas explains.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh and Siona Peterous, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
