You're looking at it from the biological side.

You're looking at it from the mythological side.

You're looking at it from the, you know, the historical lens.

Yeah.

Is there anything that you can add to this unique experience that we have that we largely are not living in these...

small tribes, where we're seeing other women who are going through this journey, getting the message from them, that young boys or older men are not getting a chance to see, you know, the elders of the community, the women, you know, go through these rites of passage themselves and step into that, and largely people are living in these isolated areas, and they're not even living off nearby their family enough to even have the conversation that's there.

But anything you can say about that?

Every different group of people is going to have stereotypes that are there.

But you look at how it can often be portrayed in either media, social media, or even just in conversation between people.

Sometimes you can have this feeling of...

like the crazy older lady, right?

Or the Karen or the this thing or that.

It's a negative connotation to refer to somebody who is older, more isolated, not understanding.

And again, men have the crazy uncle, the crazy neighbor, whatever it might be, right?

There's it on the men's side.

And it's like when you zoom out, you think about like everybody's lost a sense of tribe a little bit.

Yeah, as well, sir.

And even in my own family, I'm not going to put my own, you know, there's a lot of amazing things that are there, but it's not like every single one.

You know, we have to fight for it regularly to try to recreate some of these circumstances.

And yes, Asian cultures in general, there's still a lot of respect for like the elderly and how it's baked into the culture.
