In this episode, we tackle one of the most weaponized passages in Christian history, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, the infamous “women should remain silent in the churches” verse. But what if Paul wasn’t commanding silence at all? What if he was quoting and then correcting the Corinthians for trying to muzzle women?

We dive into one of the scholarly theories that flips this passage on its head, exploring how context and translation have shaped centuries of gender hierarchy and how theology, power, and patriarchy intersect within the text itself.

TW: Religious Trauma

In this episode we take on one of the most weaponized passages in the New Testament. We look at how 1 Timothy 2:11-14 has been wielded to shut women up, strip them of authority, and justify systems that keep men in charge. We dig into what was actually happening in Ephesus at the time, why “Paul’s words” weren’t written as a universal gag order on women, and how centuries of mistranslation and church politics turned a contextual warning into a tool of control.

You asked. We answered.

In this listener Q&A, we talk about everything from behind the scenes to practical questions. Some topics include: how to talk to your partner about feminist issues, what to do when your partner doesn’t support your mental load, what’s the most dangerous thing people believe about women’s bodies we wish would just die already, and more.

A listener shares a raw, deeply personal story of disclosing marital rape and how her partner’s reaction turned the moment into his own emotional drama. In this episode, we break down why men so often center themselves when women share trauma: from protector fantasies and fragile masculinity to the social conditioning that teaches women to soothe male discomfort. We unpack the psychology behind emotional hijacking, the caregiver reflex survivors fall into, and what true support actually sounds like.

This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness. About how “I can’t handle this” silences survivors, and how staying present, listening, and believing can literally change lives.

In this Haunted History episode, we enter a Twilight Zone of alternate timelines asking the big “what ifs” of women’s history. What if the witch hunts hadn’t erased generations of women healers? If authoritarian governments hadn’t cemented control over bodies and voices? What if women’s health had been researched at the same pace of men’s health? It’s a haunting reminder of how much has been lost, stolen, or delayed, and how far ahead we might already be if history had tipped the other way.

In this Haunted History episode, we expose how modern gynecology and obstetrics were built on the suffering of women—especially enslaved Black women experimented on by Marion Sims without anesthesia. We’ll trace how the flat-on-the-back birthing position came not from nature but from patriarchal convenience, how women were denied pain relief for religious reasons, and how procedures like routine episiotomies, the so-called “husband stitch,” and even the chainsaw were justified.

In this Haunted History episode, we uncover the chilling story of lobotomies and the women who were most often subjected to them. Sold as a miracle cure for everything from depression to defiance, the procedure left thousands of women scarred, silenced, or erased altogether. Behind the surgical theater curtain was a system that punished women for being “too much”—too emotional, too sexual, too ambitious. From housewives and daughters institutionalized against their will to famous cases like Rosemary Kennedy, lobotomies became a tool of control disguised as medicine. We’ll explore how this brutal chapter still haunts women’s healthcare today, where dismissal and overreach often go hand in hand.

In this Haunted History episode, we dig into Hysteria. The infamous diagnosis that turned women’s emotions, sexuality, and pain into a medical horror story. From ancient Greece’s myth of the “wandering womb” to the locked wards of 19th-century asylums, hysteria was never about healing women. It was about controlling them, silencing them, and punishing anyone who refused to conform. We also ask the unsettling question: has hysteria really disappeared, or is it still haunting us today under new names and modern disguises?

In this rapid-fire reaction episode, we’re listening to TikToks that will make you say wait, why aren’t we talking about this more?

From the untapped power of menstrual stem cells, to the absurd fact that female CEOs just recently outnumbered CEOs named John. We’ll also explore how men’s health impacts pregnancy outcomes (including preeclampsia and morning sickness) and how it’s literally cheaper to feed and house people than abandon them.
