And if I may, if I may just add this, Chris, um, I, it's tough because I'll give talks and I'll say there are some serial killers I feel bad for. And I, I don't want that taken out of context and then get canceled over it because I have really a lot of empathy for the, we said much worse things on this podcast. Okay. It's good. But let me, let me say this. Let me tell you a story.

What if I told you a story of a young boy who, um, His father named him a very masculine name, but it turned out he was a little bit feminine, so the father used to beat the crap out of him, beat him in the head until he was unconscious. This boy was molested when he was at age five by a female babysitter.

This boy was molested when he was at age five by a female babysitter.

A little bit later, when he was about eight years old, he was molested by a male local contractor, and his sister corroborated these things. His mother was so physically abused that the father would beat The hell out of both the son and the mother. I wonder if somebody would feel sorry for that person. I do, right?

So if I said to you, do you feel bad for John Wayne Gacy? By the way, he killed at least 33 young men and buried their remains under his house and threw them in the river. You don't feel bad for that. But if I told you the story of that boy that they called Johnny back then, you'd say, oh my gosh, right?

It always does. So men produce millions of sperm on a daily basis. Women have all they're born with all the eggs they'll ever use. They'll probably only ovulate. times in their lifetime.
