This week on “Problematic Women” we talk to Emilie Kao,The Heritage Foundation’s director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Religion & Civil Society. Emilie provides insights on sex discrimination in relation to federal civil rights laws and discusses the upcoming Supreme Court case R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This case could have major implications for sex-segregated spaces (such as bathrooms and locker rooms) and the way gender is interpreted in U.S. law.

We also cover the following: 

—A growing online epidemic of child sexual abuse imagery. 

—Kanye West announces that he’s now only making gospel music.

—Do you know how impeachment actually works? Virginia gives a pop quiz and then explains Section 1, Article 2 of the Constitution which lays out the impeachment process.

—Our Problematic Woman of the Week is Amy Swearer, legal fellow at Heritage who went viral this week for her testimony at a hearing on “Protecting America from Assault Weapons.”
