This week we discuss new estimates of the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine for young teenagers. And, I recently spoke with Professor Martha Copp of East Tennessee State University about her new paper titled “We’ve Come a Long Way, Guys! Rhetorics of Resistance to the Feminist Critique of Sexist Language.” The paper is to be published in Gender & Society, and is co-authored by Sherryl Kleinman and Kalah B. Wilson.

Segment 1 -- Martha Copp on “We’ve Come a Long Way, Guys! Rhetorics of Resistance to the Feminist Critique of Sexist Language.”

Segment 2 -- Structural zeros, sampling zeros, and the estimated efficacy of vaccines and other interventions.
