Listen "Show tunes, wizards, and meats: Leviticus for the rest of us"
Episode Synopsis
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: Witch Trialshttps://www.nesl.edu/blog/detail/a-true-legal-horror-story-the-laws-leading-to-the-salem-witch-trialsLecky’s History of Rationalismhttps://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/lecky-history-of-the-rise-and-influence-of-the-spirit-of-rationalism-in-europe-vol-1Pregnancy on TVI Love Lucy - first pregnancy on TV 1952 - but they couldn’t say pregnant - episode was titled “Lucy Is Enceinte,” using the French word for “pregnant”.https://www.remindmagazine.com/article/8631/i-love-lucy-first-tv-pregnancy-lucy-is-enceinte-1952/andhttps://www.avclub.com/more-than-60-years-ago-a-pregnant-lucille-ball-couldn-1798239435The word "pregnant" is believed to be used first on The Dick Van Dyke Show.
