It's still very upsetting to watch her throw stools and watch one of them hit her kid.

Yeah, there's so much going on here.

Yeah, like you're mentioning, there's just sort of like this inherent power that a man has.

Dakota is stronger, bigger.

If he wanted to, he could like physically harm her quickly.

So that's always kind of like hanging in the air there.

But also, Taylor does have a specific type of power.

So Taylor has like a public power.

Taylor is the famous one, maybe like the more famous one.

She has the platform, the income, everything.

The cultural moment is kind of like wrapped around Taylor.

So there is some power that she's wielding.

But I think that Dakota has kind of like the relational power.

It's sort of like the patriarchy or like the power that's just sort of like innate in men.

He has that.

But also, like we were saying, he has the power to be not as dysregulated.

So when she gets dysregulated, now he has all the power.

Now he can pull out the phone.

Now he can craft a story.

Now he can remember what's happening, but she can't.
