So this goes back to what you were saying at the beginning.

This is an exchange of value.

I think that value used to be very clear because the world was dangerous.

And my promise to you is I'm gonna keep you safe and provide resources.

And so women would pick the guy that was going to actually be successful at that.

And now the world has been safe since World War II, here in the West anyway.

And so people have begun to think that safety is just a law of nature.

And so it is what it is.

And so women are stepping into the workforce, girl boss, I don't need no man, like that whole attitude.

So men now are very confused.

All of their impulse is to be ambitious, to be strong, to go after that.

They're not celebrated.

They're not rewarded.

Women can control fertility.

So you can have sex without getting pregnant.

You can keep yourself safe.

You can monetize your own money.

In many ways, women have an easier time staying focused and staying on task.

And so the modern world rewards that.

And so all of a sudden the incentives that we were evolutionarily primed for, they're no longer present.
