For a long time, medicine has been a "good ol' boys club" and in the areas of gender inequity, sexism, and patriarchy. This old way of thinking in medicine really does fall on the wrong side of history. Thankfully, we have made progress, but so much more work needs to be done. With the lay press and productions like the Barbie movie bringing patriarchy back into the spotlight, we thought it would be a good time to discuss gender (in)equity and Emergency Medicine mansplaining. We are joined by Kimon Ioannides to talk gender inequalities in Emergency Medicine.
