Description

Alise, Kaitlin, and Amanda discuss a spate of sexist incidents involving female athletes, from Norwegian handball players being fined for wearing shorts to a Paralympian runner chastised for not wearing shorts. They discuss the broader significance of banning swim caps made for Black athletes before pivoting to the Texas abortion law, which gives abusers a pass to harass and control women’s lives by bribing residents with $10,000 to sue providers.
