Ep. 14 Plows, Purity & Patriarchy: Reclaiming Female Sexuality

In this episode, Alexandra E. and I (Kate Olson) dive deep into the connection between sacred sexuality and patriarchy. We explore how history has shaped the way we view gender, sex, and power—and how reclaiming our sexuality is key to liberation.

We touch on:

• The shift from matriarchal to patriarchal societies
• How agriculture (yes, the change from hoe agriculture to plow agriculture!) impacted women's roles
• The roots of purity culture and slut-shaming
• How parenting and community support evolved alongside societal control
• The gender gap in sexual health and education
• Why reclaiming pleasure and autonomy is a radical act of empowerment

This is a powerful conversation about waking up to cultural conditioning—and remembering that our bodies, our pleasure, and our voices are sacred.
