Episode Synopsis

Patriarchy didn’t arrive by accident—it was designed. From the shift to agriculture, to the weaponization of myth, to laws that bound women’s bodies and choices, power was slowly rewritten to favor one half of humanity over the other.

In this episode, we trace how that rewriting happened—and how its echoes live on today. From Eve and Lilith to modern career pressures and motherhood traps, we explore how control has evolved from visible chains into invisible expectations. Most importantly, we ask: if patriarchy was built, what would it look like to unbuild it—and write something new?
