Did men ruin calendars??
Because it's the end of the year, curiosity got the better of Laura, and she decided to look into why our calendar is organized the way it is. Why are there 12 months? Why are there such a random number of days in each month? Why are their names of the so nonsensical? How did ancient civilizations organize their calendars? And is the answer to every one of these questions just, "PATRIARCHY"?!

The answer then raises new questions: Why DON'T we organize our calendar around a natural cycle like the moon? Why did ancient matriarchal cultures ALL organize their years around the moon? What role did Catholicism play in the destruction of ancient ways of organizing time??

Literally all of those answers and more (plus quite a bit of rambling) in this episode.
