In this episode we don our finest (rented) Victorian frocks (that you can see if you check out our TikTok) and dive into the 19th century feminist analysis of Leviticus. It's pretty much the how to live rules & regulations section of the bible and you will be amazed and depressed at how these thousand(s) of years old ideas are still running the show. These Woman's Bible gals tried to tell us 130 years ago. We shall finish their work!
Here's more info on some of the topics we discuss:

The word "pregnant" is believed to be used first on The Dick Van Dyke Show. In "Never Name a Duck," written by Carl Reiner (who also created the series), an eccentric character says of her cat, "She thinks she's pregnant." The episode first aired on September 26, 1962. https://startrekfactcheck.blogspot.com/2017/01/was-star-trek-first-show-to-say.html
