The thing that I disagree with is like down here it talks about we wrestle more with sex drives while girls struggle
00:00:07
more with their emotions. I don't I don't think that's true. I think that we
00:00:12
are at a point where men have been programmed for so long that our emotions are like negative things and we shove
00:00:19
them deep down inside. Like we don't cry. We don't show weakness. Our emotions are weakness. Right? We've been
00:00:27
told that lie for centuries at this point and it's just programmed into us that like emotions equal weak and and
00:00:37
thus because women are emotional and women tend to be more in touch with their emotions, they're the weaker
00:00:43
species. I think it's the polar opposite.
