It's dumb.In this episode, Lynnsey and Adriana go deep on the origins of the patriarchy, how it has shaped everything from language to religion to the way we experience our own bodies, and why even the most loving, safe relationships can't fully undo what's been wired into us at a species level.This one is real, raw, and a little bit spicy. You've been warned.In this episode:The wandering uterus, hysteria, and centuries of medical gaslightingWomen as the only species that must coexist with its natural predator (and what that actually means)How the patriarchy harms men too, and why toxic masculinity is everyone's problemThe erasure of the divine feminine from religion, language, and cultureDeconstruction from religion/patriarchy and how hard it really is to rewireWhy we're not asking for a matriarchy, we're asking for divine balanceWe want to hear from you!This episode is a lot and we want to know what came up for you.
