With Prachi Gupta, author of They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies that Raised Us. The Canadian Encyclopedia says the model minority is a stereotype that “depicts Asians as hard working, successful at school and in the workplace, and as economically prosperous.”   It may seem like a positive stereotype. But it divides non-model and model racialized communities, ignores vast disparities in wealth and well-being faced by pan-Asian people, and trivializes the impacts of racism.  That the model minority stereotype is racist is no question. But how does it impact people differently depending on their gender? How does it work to alienate us from ourselves and from each other?  We're joined by Prachi Gupta, award-winning journalist and former senior reporter at Jezebel. She won a Writers Guild Award for her investigative essay “Stories About My Brother.” Her work was featured in The Best American Magazine Writing 2021 and has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post Magazine, Marie Claire, Salon, Elle, and elsewhere. They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies that Raised Us is her debut memoir, named one of the top 40 books of 2023 by Amazon and top 18 memoirs of the year by Audible. She lives in Brooklyn.  A note about content: this episode addresses gender-based violence.  Episode ⁠Transcripts⁠  Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review this podcast and share it with others.

When a sexual assault victim outs her attacker on social media — or, in the case of the Stanford trial, writes a takedown so powerful it goes viral — is justice served? Host Elisa Benson discusses social media, the way the legal system treats sexual assault, and the complicated issue of drinking and consent with Cosmopolitan.com editor Prachi Gupta, writer Jill Filipovic, and “Blackout" author Sarah Hepola.    

Worldwide, more than 62 million girls are not in school. Cosmopolitan.com senior writer Prachi Gupta joins host Elisa Benson to discuss girls’ education in war-torn nations and her recent reporting trip to the Middle East, where she met with a family of Syrian refugees, profiled a 25-year-old female graffiti artist, and took a selfie with Michelle Obama.

Half the population deals with it, yet no one ever talks about it. (It’s just blood, people!) Cosmo editors Emma Barker, Prachi Gupta, Danielle McNally and host Elisa Benson discuss why it’s more important than ever to talk about periods — calling bullshit on why the government taxes tampons and why the health community has basically ignored menstruation. Plus: Those crusty old dudes who still use “that time of the month” as an insult? Take a seat.
