b'Vanessa Grigoriadis writes for Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times Magazine. Her new book is Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus.\\n\\n \\u201cI\\u2019m a controversial writer. I\\u2019ve never shied away from controversy. I\\u2019ve only really courted it because I realized a lot earlier than a lot of other people who are involved in this whole depressing business that clicks are the way to go, right? Or eyeballs, as we used to call them, or readership. I come out of a Tom Wolfe-like, Hunter S. Thompson kind of tradition. You don\\u2019t mince any words, you just go for the jugular and you say as many things that can stir people up as possible.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Squarespace, and Casper for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@vanessagrigor\\nwww.vanessagrigoriadis.com\\nGrigoriadis on Longform\\n[01:20] Longform Podcast #40: Vanessa Grigoriadis\\n[01:35] Grigoriadis\\u2019 Archive at Vanity Fair\\n[01:40] Grigoriadis\\u2019 Archive at Rolling Stone\\n[01:45] Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus (Eamon Dolan \\u2022 2017)\\n[02:00] "Shining a Light on Campus Rape" (Michelle Goldberg \\u2022 New York Times \\u2022 Sep 2017)\\n[06:30] "The Passion of Nicki Minaj" (New York Times \\u2022 Oct 2015)\\n[06:30] "The Very Pink, Very Perfect Life of Taylor Swift" (Rolling Stone \\u2022 Mar 2009)\\n[06:30] "Justin Bieber: God, Girls and Boatloads of Swag" (Rolling Stone \\u2022 Mar 2011)\\n[08:30] "Meet the College Women Who Are Starting a Revolution Against Campus Sexual Assault" (New York \\u2022 Sep 2014)\\n[11:45] \\u201c\\u2018A Rape on Campus\\u2019 What Went Wrong?\\u201d (Sheila Coronel, Steve Coll, Derek Kravitz \\u2022 Rolling Stone \\u2022 April 2015)\\n[22:15] "A Power Player and her Sons Disappear Off the Bahamas" (Jacob Bernstein \\u2022 New York Times \\u2022 May 2017)\\n[26:00] "Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Replaces Obama-era Guidelines for Handling Sexual Assault on Campus" (Lauren Rosenblatt \\u2022 LA Times \\u2022 Sep 2017)\\n[36:00] "Emasculated?
