Problematic Women: Gov. Cuomo Says America Isn’t Great Because Women Are Discriminated Against

Kelsey Bolar / Bre Payton / August 16, 2018

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, says America was “never great,” in part due to the “discrimination [against] and stereotyping of women.” But are women in America really systematically being discriminated against and stereotyped, or is Cuomo just using women as pawns to push a greater agenda?

We discuss that question, along with a new CBS News and Refinery29 poll that found that less than half of millennial women in America identify as feminists and half are not sure the #MeToo movement has made things better for women.

Plus, the “Queen of Soul,” singer Aretha Franklin, has died. We’ll be joined by a special guest who will discuss the ways Aretha affected the music industry and the wider culture.

All that and more in this week’s edition of “Problematic Women.” Watch in the video above, or listen in the podcast below.
