In this episode of Gender Versus, we delve into the intricate web of weight stigma, exploring its gendered dimensions and its intersections with race, class, and other forms of oppression. Drawing from a wealth of research and firsthand accounts, we uncover how societal attitudes toward weight shape not only individuals' perceptions of themselves but also their opportunities and experiences in various spheres of life. From employment discrimination to healthcare disparities, we confront the pervasive myths and biases that perpetuate harmful stereotypes about body size and examine the ways in which marginalized communities, particularly women and people of color, bear the brunt of this systemic injustice. Join us as we challenge the status quo, amplify diverse voices, and advocate for a world where every body is celebrated and respected.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
