I'm gonna tell you something my mother told me, and you're not gonna like it. Everything's different now. All those boys you used to outwrestle and outrun, that's done. Those boys are gonna look at you different. See you different. And they're gonna look at you like you're less, like you're somehow weaker today than you were yesterday. You're not, though. You're stronger than all of them, because if men were responsible for giving birth, the human race wouldn't have lasted two generations. But after being treated like you're weaker long enough, you'll start to believe it too. That's why I'm gonna have to be hard on you, honey. I have to turn you into the man most men will never be. And I'm sorry in advance for doing it, cause you're gonna hate it, sweetheart.
