[ MUSIC ] Hello, and welcome to Broad Strokes. I'm Anne VanderMey sitting in for Kristen Bellstrom, and this is Valentina Zarya. We We have a lot to talk about today. Obviously the number one thing on everyone's mind this week has been the first Presidential debate. After the debate we saw a lot of coverage about the sexism that took place. By some reports, Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton. One times. And how many times has she interrupted him? I don't actually count them. 17. 17, but then also all the fuss about Hilary Clinton's smile. During the primaries we heard a lot about she's not smiling enough, how she looks unfriendly and unattractive. And now all of a sudden she's smiling too much, right, and Her smile is condescending quote, unquote. It is actually very frustrating. You see people coming at Hillary Clinton a lot with criticisms that aren't related to what she's saying. People are saying, you're smiling too much. You're laughing too much. You're talking too loud, which is one that we've heard a lot. You're coughing Like, God forbid she cough. People aren't focusing on what she's saying. There are huge policy difference that if people wanted to focus on them, they could, but instead we get a lot of stuff about whether she was laughing There's a really interesting study that North Eastern University Professor that Lisa Feldman Barrett did, and she found that we as People tend to attribute female facial expressions to their emotions, so their personality traits. Versus for men, we tend to attribute them to a situation, right? So, for example, for Hillary and Trump, you know, if she's looking serious it's because she's a really serious, unpleasant, cold person, and if he's looking serious it's because He's presidential and he's like out on a debate stage. Right exactly and I think another thing that came up at the debates that was really interesting was Hillary Clinton's point about Alicia Machado. Machado was the first winner of the Miss Universe contest. She's from Venezuela. And after she won she gained some weight. And Donald Trump who owns the franchise took issue with this and staged a very elaborate kind of press conference workout for her. Where she could loose the weight. Hilary brought this up, and I thought was a very powerful point, and probably resonated with a lot of women. She put Donald Trumps issues with women and accusations of misogyny on full display, but didn't make herself the victim. She sort of brought this up in the debate, and Behind the scenes her campaign had orchestrated Alicia Machado to do a lot of interviews that were embargoed for after the debate. And to do a lot of interviews on air after it happened. So I think she sort of brought this really expertly into the floor of the national conversation. [ MUSIC ]. One of the really other big stories about women in the media this week has been the McKinsey and Lean In study with, of course, Lean In and Sheryl Sandberg's organization. And a lot of their findings were pretty consistent from what we've been hearing. There are fewer women that men in the C suites, there's are fewer women than men getting promoted, getting raises. But one really interesting thing that came out of this for me was kind of this new focus on Not so much leaning in but so much about, but on push back. What she means by push back is just the fact that when women ask for more there more negatively perceived. It's not about companies are refusing to give them raises but not only are not giving them raises they are also The saying, wait a minute. I don't even know if I like this employee and kind of altering their perception of that professional woman, too. Yeah. I thought that was a really fascinating point. It addresses a lot of criticism that Lean In has garnered as a movement over the years, I think in a really sappy way. All right. That is all the time we have.
