If you take anyone, take all the babies out of it, you take any human being and you want to kind of break them down, you would mess about with their routine, you would take sleep out of the equation, you would isolate them from other people and you'd kind of mess around with their diet and things like that.

And after a woman's had a baby, all of those things, which are weapons of war, by the way, right? They're used to break people down because it works. But after a woman's had a baby, all of those things are affected monumentally. And...

And then we sort of we kind of question why women are struggling after giving birth and and or kind of, you know, I guess, dulling things down or, you know, the baby blues and things like that. And but it's it's really quite serious. And I think to our detriment, we we talk about hormones and things like that as if they are the culprit. As if it's a fault in a woman's system. But it's not.

A woman is built to have children and to function and do all of those things. But modern society is set up ignoring all of those needs and how important that job is and how important it is to do it well. For our future generations as well.

So I think I'm getting on my sandwich board now, kind of, you know, sandwich board sort of, you know, preaching about, you know, what we should be doing for women and things like that. But, you know, I think.
