The Parsha explains the laws of preparing the oil for the menorah and baking the lechem hapanim in the Temple. A man blasphemes Hashem and is executed as prescribed in the Torah. If truth be told, women are not equal to men in Judaism. In some senses they are superior. Woman was created after Man - and from Man.
Man comes from the dirt and dust.
Woman starts off much higher. She comes from flesh and blood. Hashem gave the three festivals of Pesach, Shavuos and Sukkos respectively to the fathers of the Jewish People, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov. Hashem also designated Rosh Chodesh, the first of day of each of the twelve months, as the Yom Tov of the twelve tribes of Israel. The males of the tribes lost their festival of Rosh Chodesh when they transgressed in the incident of the golden calf.
