But matched

You have a daughter, and as a venture capitalist, you're more likely to invest in female-led startups? matched

Okay, that's a little bit less obvious that you would start to care about people who are not directly connected to your family. matched

And I think, okay, is it that becoming a father makes you a little bit less misogynistic or makes you a little bit more of a feminist? matched

Or to your point, is it more that it's giving you cover to explain? matched

Express values that you already hold. matched

Yeah. matched

When you say permission, I think of that every time I I see somebody talk with pride about being a girl dad. matched

I think Kobe Bryant probably modeled that more visibly than anybody I can think of in American culture. matched

And I think for a lot of dads, it was a movement almost that like, okay, I have permission now to say, yeah, I braided my daughter's hair. matched

Or, you know, for those of us who don't braid well and we're fired from that job, yeah, like at least I know how to do a high ponytail. matched

And once upon a time, that was a useful skill. matched

And I I think taking that that form of care and kindness and making that a source of pride as opposed to something you hide because it's stigmatized, that does seem to be part of the story. matched

You mentioned that you did see gender differences with testosterone. matched

What were those? matched

Is that also a novel explanation then for Dad Bod? matched

Which means what? matched

So even monkeys get dad bod. matched

Good to know. matched

Does that reduction in testosterone also reduce the motivation to work out? matched
