So you have to remember that children perceive of the relationship with their parent as loving no matter what the parent does to them. I used to work when I was a young social worker in foster care. And the children who were physically abused by their parents and neglected terribly still wanted to be with their mothers and fathers.

They didn't want to be taken away because that was their mother and father and they perceived of that as love. So however we're raised, we perceive of that as love. The problem is if it's not healthy love, then we can neurotically repeat or repeat that in our adult lives.

Yeah, we've taken away their purpose. When you take a human being's purpose away, remember the purpose for men was to protect their family. It was to hunt in the old days, feed their families, but it was also to protect their families. It was to provide for their families.

And what we've done in reversing everything is although we raised up women, and there are certainly positive things about raising up women, but when we raised up women, we denigrated men. And I have two sons, so this is... very personal for me. And I also see a lot of young men in my practice, young adult men. And what I'll say is that they feel discouraged. They feel purposeless.

They feel diminished. Yeah. And there has been something vengeful, I think, about... So the feminist movement was meant to give women choice and to balance off what was imbalanced in society. But there's something vengeful about it.

I think at moments, I feel like there's something vengeful about the modern feminist movement, which is, let's get them, let's diminish them, let's take over, let's push them out, let's beat them up, let's show them who's... I mean, something really vengeful. So for me, the feminist movement was meant to create balance. It wasn't meant to

It wasn't meant to set into play this other kind of imbalance. And more than, I think, 60% of universities are women now, as well as graduate schools. And so that means, and the studies show that men will marry at their educational level or below. Women will only marry at their educational level or above.

And by diminishing men so much in terms of our education and professions, we've basically taken men's purpose away. They feel purposeless. And the other thing is, and I'm going to say this, When men stay home to nurture their children, now, remember, as mammals, we have defined roles. That is not instinctual for men to stay home and nurture their young. It's a reverse of something.

And the issue there is that there is an inverse relationship between oxytocin and testosterone. The higher the oxytocin, guess what?
