But one that I wanted to bring up because I think it's really important is
that we really think about those early years.
For me, it was in high school, early high school.
I think I was year eight maybe when this happened.
But it was a female PE teacher.
If you went to my school and you're in my year level, I think you'll be very quick to know who this female – she wasn't – she was pretty –
Never ever touched a child.
I don't want to, you know.
But she was just very, like, firm.
Like, for example, if you were doing the beep test and you were a girl and you dropped out, she'd pretty much say, like...
She'd say, like, just because the boys are here.
Like, she was very firm.
And, like, really hated people using their period as an excuse not to move.
Like, she was just a very firm PA teacher.
So not very empathetic.
Not very empathetic.
She said to me one day, if you continue – I wrote it out, and when I wrote it out, I was like, wow, I can't believe I actually still – Wait, so you remember it for baby?
