Elle brings a unique perspective to the conversation, sharing her experience as a Catholic and exploring the roles of women in the faith. She also discusses the phenomena of single shaming and the negative impact it has on women in society. Elle then explores the history and context of the Catholic Church's relationship with women, highlighting the significance of Mother Mary and female saints within the faith. She draws a connection between the shift from matriarchy to patriarchy in religious practices and the societal roles and expectations of women. Elle references Merlin Stone's book "When God Was A Woman", discussing how ancient religions that worshipped female deities were replaced by patriarchal religions. She explores the implications of this shift on women's status in society.
