Gender vs The Scale (Fatphobia)

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.
