Why the seven deadly sins are patriarchal

The seven deadly sins, you know the list: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. They aren't so much biblical as they are patriarchal, holding women to impossible standards in order to be considered "good" says Elise Loehnen. The constant pressure to 'be good" has very bad consequences for women. Loehnen is a writer, host of the podcast Pulling the Thread and spent seven years immersed in the wellness industry as the chief content officer at Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop company. She shares her own experience, balancing the light and dark sides of life and prioritizing wholeness over wellness in her book, Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.
