This week, we talk about re-interpreting things out of existence, gay years, and how you can just be a girl if you want to. We also talk about why virginity is super fake and also a bad idea, and thus it's unfortunate that the Torah treats it like it's real. Plus, a short exercise in finding meaning in under-nuanced stories AND sex worker rabbis. Full transcript available here. As regards to the "stubborn and rebellious son" bit, here you can see the commentary in Sanhedrin 68B side by side with the original text. Content notes: conversation that touches on about sexual abuse between 13:32 and 16:59 . Explicit conversation about sex and notions of virginity from 31:26 to 36:44 . Support us on Patreon!
