Weight Discrimination in Healthcare

Likeability

We don't care if you like this episode! Ellie and Molly discuss the likeability trap/paradox that women face in work and in life and their own struggles with the need to be liked (but not by the men that tell us to smile).

Feminist Heroes!

We are back! Ellie and Molly discuss a few of the people that have inspired them on their feminist journeys. Disclaimer: Gremlin alert! The audio quality drops for a few minutes midway through but improves quickly. Disclaimer 2: This is not an endorsement for Gone Girl but is an endorsement for Men Explain Things to Me.

Empowerment messaging is a scam

We discuss how much of empowerment messaging fails at its only job! Ellie brings her expertise and Molly brings her rage.  We wrap up with an analysis of Love is Blind.

Sexism

Did you know there are different types of sexism? We chat about the different kinds of sexism, the harmful effects of sexism, and what we can do about it. We end the episode on a lighter note where we share some of the many things we have to celebrate this week!

Weight Discrimination in Healthcare

What is weight discrimination in healthcare? Why is it happening? What can be done (aside from Molly and Ellie starting a traveling road show to help educate future health care practitioners)? And of course, the episode would not be complete without some discussion of reality TV!
