00:00The resilience of a woman is just something that a man can't fathom, and I give a little bit more

00:04kudos to mothers. You know, the capacity of a mother to withstand physical pain just by virtue

00:09of childbirth is something that most men just can't even comprehend. It's just incredible.

00:15So what happens, unfortunately, is because of that capacity to withstand pain and subsequently

00:20suffering, is women will go from this position of inherent natural resilience to psychological

00:25tolerance. And it's a disservice to both themselves and their partner, where they're learning to put

00:31up with something because they can, versus using their resilience as a form of being a stand for

00:36something in the way that they get treated with respect and love and kindness. You know, there's

00:39obviously some buffer in there in terms of, okay, we want to occasionally hold the little child of

00:44our partner, the man who can be vulnerable enough to sort of feel shy or embarrassed about something

00:48that didn't work out, and the woman can step up and say, I gotcha. But she doesn't want to have a third

00:52or fourth child who's represented as a husband, right? And conversely, the other way around,

00:57if the woman is having a bad day, or just the chemistry of her body each month is feeling very

01:01emotional, can the man be strong enough to just hold space and not take what she says personally

01:05and be affected like a little boy who's all butthurt? And so I think that's the beauty of a

01:09relationship. It's just rather than being 95% a woman and 5% a little girl and 95% a man and then 5%

01:15a little boy, those roles tend to be reversed. And that dynamic is just not going to work. You know,

01:19I'm not saying we should adhere to a traditional model, but there's something beautiful about the

01:23archetypes of the man who's the rock who provides the stability and the safety and the woman who gets

01:28to express her divinity through this endless forms of dance and clothing and handbags and just the beauty

01:34of her self-expression, which includes nurturance and supporting the family in a way that is really just

01:40about love. But there has to be the container for her to feel safe enough to be able to do that. And I know I've

01:45fallen short in my past relationships and that's something that I'm willing to look at and be accountable for.
