So, absolutely.

Sure, absolutely. So we do know that it's not, you know, not all boys play with trucks and planes and not all girls play with dolls, but that's predominant. I myself have played with stuffed animals. It's all good, right? So, but absolutely. And we do know that in women, to me, it's undeniable, there is a caregiving. There's a caregiving instinct in all of us, but there is a caregiving instinct.

And so, again, I'm an evolutionary psychologist. And what we say is that in evolutionary psych behaviors evolved because that behavior led to traits and dispositions that made you leave more descendants. Right. So we have this caregiving thing, people who had a caregiving background. instinct left more descendants.

But we also say in evolutionary psychology that there's this polydistribution of inherited traits. So I'm going to draw the bell curve for your viewers, right? So if you took a statistics class, remember the bell curve. And let's say, let's say moms, most of, or even nurses, right? Most of them are right in the middle, the right amount of caregiving.

Let's, let's go with moms, the right amount of caregiving. Most of us turn out okay. But if you look in the bell curve and you look down all the way in one tail, you'll see the extreme people who are overbearing and overanxious and they monitor child's every single move and they get sick and To their stomach when their kid goes to the prom, something like that. All right, that's one tail.

What about all the way in the other end of the other tail? We have people who are abusive, people who are neglectful, and then deep down in that other end of that other tail, we have people who kill their own kids, right? So there's this caregiving instinct gone awry. And I do believe that is the case. Now, you mentioned something going back to nurses as female serial killers.

I actually have dated a nurse. I've actually dated a neonatal intensive care nurse. And when I told her about Lucy Lepe, she couldn't believe it. How could somebody who has devoted their whole entire training and life harm the person to which they took an oath that they would help? So how does that happen? And we don't really know.

I could say that right now, not my research, but some other research has suggested that I don't know if a nurse goes bad. I think maybe sometimes that personality type goes into the field. I don't know if it's to have the control. I don't know if it's to save thyself. I have the urge to kill people. Let me help them. I'm not sure. But I do think maybe that kind of person goes into the field.
