Destroying Feminism (With Facts and Logic)

Well, over the past few years, I've done a lot of shows talking about men, what men need to fix, where men fall short, how men can step up. I haven't really turned that same sort of attention toward the ladies. Well, ladies, today is for you, because it's time for an honest conversation. We have some things to discuss. It's time to get your ---- together. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. We do have a packed show today. A young American girl boss turns into a pissed off Islamist terrorist and then gets arrested. Our national debt is coming home to roost. And The Daily Wire uncovers an extraordinary story about an Islamic terrorist sympathizer allowed back onto an American college campus with deadly results. But first, let's get to the big story today. So victimhood, of course, has now become a drug of choice for pretty much every subgroup in the American population. And women are not accepted. But here is the thing, ladies in American society, overall, you are not victims, not remotely, not remotely. You earn more college degrees. You have longer life expectancies. When adjusted for hours worked and time out of the workforce, you earn more than the men do. So when I see women standing outside the trial of a mentally ill woman who murdered her three young children, including a baby, protesting something, well, I need to ask some questions. I need to ask some questions because that's what we're seeing. Now, again, I've said before that the sense of victimhood that men have right now is, in my opinion, overstated. We have many decisions in our hands as men that we are pretending we do not have. But at least there's some empirical basis for the idea that American men are failing because they are earning fewer degrees. They are committing suicide at higher rates. They're dropping out of the workforce at higher rates, earning less money. That's not true of American women. But yet lots and lots of women are addicted to this idea that they are somehow victims of the phantom patriarchy or something. This is the only way I can explain what the hell is happening outside the Lindsey Clancy trial. I do not understand this for the life of me. What are you protesting? What are you protesting? Lindsey Clancy. That story is a tragedy and a horror. If Lindsey Clancy was the victim of anything, I mean, obviously, her kids were the true victims since they ended up strangled by their mother. But if Lindsey Clancy was the victim of anything, she was a victim of her mental illness. Well, typically, you don't have protests against like mental illness. It's like having a protest against cancer or a protest against heart disease or a protest against sunshine or wind. These are things that happen in life and bad things happen in life. And very, very rarely do people get together outside of a courthouse to protest. Typically, when you're outside a courthouse protesting, you are suggesting someone has been wronged by the system. And that's what women were doing over the course of the last few days. What are you doing, ladies? What are you doing? Here is some video of Lindsey Clancy supporters thanking Clancy's defense attorney outside the Plymouth courthouse. For what? For doing his job? Clapping for him? What in the world? What are you? What? What? Again, the whole thing's a tragedy. Lindsey Clancy, like every other person in the United States charged with a crime, deserves a defense. I'm even sympathetic to the mental illness defense here, as I've made clear. But what in the world? And then women were making heart hands outside the Clancy. What are you doing? What is the thing that you are protesting for or against? What is the thing? Are you just angry at postpartum psychosis? Because that's what we're talking about here. But I don't think so. I think that there is an underlying message. And here again is some of the video. Throw hands for Lindsey and mental health. Listen, if you've got a mental problem, you should go get the care that you need. But what in the world? She murdered her three children. What in what in the world? What in the world? I've seen all these tapes of women who are saying they're just like Lindsey. They're just like, OK, first of all, if you say you are just like Lindsey Clancy, you should immediately be put into involuntary commitment because Lindsey Clancy murder her three kids and then tried to kill herself. So if you are just like she is and she was a danger to herself and others, then you are a danger to yourself and others. And you should be immediately removed from society and put in a place where you can get care. But again, here are some of the women explaining why they are there. What would be your message to the people that say she should be found guilty and she killed her children? I don't know. To get educated about the subject like it is a very sensitive subject that people don't take it serious and people don't don't look for information. And I think it's a lack of information. What are these women even doing there? What are they doing? This reporter from Frontlines and TBS asks the women there, what would you say to the opponents who basically say that you should get the death penalty? And they're like, we don't know because they don't know why they're there. I'll explain, by the way, why they're there in a second. And of course, here are more Clancy supporters saying that we all need to educate ourselves in postpartum again. What are you protesting for? What is the thing that you are protesting for or against? Does anyone have a message for Lindsay? We support you, Lindsay. We are all here for you and we hope for a change. What would be your message to the people that say she murdered her children? I think there's more to this story that people don't understand. If you watch the trial, you'll see that. And I think we all need to educate ourselves in postpartum. I certainly have been educating myself and my heart goes to her and I just hope for the very best for her. Okay, again, what are you protesting? Okay, so let's start with the obvious. Because there is an underlying idea here that women are victims. That is why this has become a sort of a trend, is the idea that women are in some sort of vague way victims of the justice system or the American system or the patriarchy or whatever. I don't even know what these women are protesting. Again, are they just protesting mental illness? What are they protesting? The prosecution has a duty to prosecute if they believe that the fact pattern demonstrates that Lindsay Clancy killed her children with malice aforethought, right? That is what they are trying her for. And the defense has a duty to defend against that by claiming the insanity defense. And we went through all of that earlier this week. But what is the protest? I don't even understand. The system is working how the system is supposed to work right now. So what are you protesting? If you're standing outside Andrew Tate's jailhouse and doing pushups, I know that you're protesting because you think that Andrew Tate is somehow innocent of all of the charges, plus you're half gay. So there are a few things. But what are you protesting here? And so let's start, ladies, with the obvious. No women in all of human history, in all of human history, have it better than American women in twenty twenty six. There's a woman named Peachy Keenan over on X, and she put out a tweet that is correct. She says, why are so many women so angry? They won. They got everything they wanted. Men have never been doing this badly and women have never been doing this well. They make more. They have a majority of jobs than a majority of college graduates. They make more money, have much lower rates of suicide, addiction and alcoholism and live longer. They won. It took over all men only spaces. They took over the boy scouts. They ended men's bathrooms. They can fly fighter planes and be in combat. Marriage is optional. Divorce is no fault. They win. Ninety nine percent of the custody battles. They can control fertility at will and they can't get drafted. We are all living in the female future. They promise that is not wrong. She is not wrong about this. Coming up, we'll get to why are women so angry? I know an internal question for the gentleman in the audience first. You know what should make you mad? Spending more than you need on a wireless plan because that's dumb. I need a phone. I need data. Tell me what it costs. Instead, you get a spreadsheet to make sense of all of that. There are tears, bundles, upgrades, promotional credits. By the time somebody explains your free phone, you've forgotten what you walked into the store for originally. Again, it's become way too complicated. It should be super simple. And pure talk keeps it simple for you. The service speaks for itself.

Pure talk dot com slash Shapiro. That's pure talk dot com slash Shapiro. OK, so let's examine why are women so angry? It is not economic underperformance. It is certainly not the patriarchy. It is not lack of education or anything like that. Women's happiness has declined. It has declined markedly. According to a study from PubMed Central, the early general social survey shows among 1950s through the 70s, high levels of female overall happiness from the 80s to the 2000 female happiness declined in both absolute terms and relative to men across every major demographic group from the 2010s to the present. The well-being trends have continued to trend downward, driven by rising reports of anxiety, stress, loneliness and other mental health challenges compared to previous decades. Now, again, that is happening. It's supposedly the paradox or they call the paradox of female unhappiness is happening, despite the fact that today women are nearly 60 percent of all bachelor's degrees in the United States, that 44 percent of women age 25 to 29 have a bachelor's compared to 35 percent of men that women, when you adjust for time in the workforce and time taken out of the workforce on an hourly basis, earn more than men, including in, for example, New York, where young women earn one hundred and two percent of what young men earn. Again, like there is nothing on sort of legal level to complain about here. And as Matt Walsh has pointed out correctly, the legal system is highly biased in favor of women, particularly when it comes to divorce and custody. That said, I would say that if you're a man and your wife attended this event, you need to immediately fight to remove your children from her custody. She's a threat to them and to you. And I don't say that lightly. The problem is that every court in the country will side with her, not you, because women actually have the exact sort of unfair institutional advantage that feminists say men possess. And he is not wrong about that. So here is the controversial contention today. The reason why so many women in American society are so angry and so much unhappier than they were in the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s is because so many women are single. This is not mean all men are good and all marriages are good or anything stupid like that. That is not what we are saying. But when you look at the actual data, what it shows that married women are happier, much, much happier than single women. In fact, married moms are twice as likely to be very happy than single or childless women, according to data from the 2022 General Social Survey. Here are some statistics on female happiness by marital status and having children is for women aged 18 to 55. So if you are married, 25 percent of married women without children report being very happy. Another 59 percent say that they are at least pretty happy. A very low percentage, like 16 percent, say they are very unhappy or not too happy. Women with children who are married with children, almost 40 percent say that they are happy, like very happy. Another 48 percent say that they are pretty happy. When you add those together, that means that 88 percent of women who are married with children say they're either very happy or pretty happy. Now check out the unmarried ladies, unmarried ladies, unmarried, no kids, 21.5 percent say that they are very happy. So literally almost twice as unhappy. And when it comes to the percentage thing, they are not happy, just not too happy. 25 percent say that they are not too happy if they're unmarried with no children. Again, when women get married and have kids, they get happier. They do. By the way, the unhappiest group of women by far are unmarried women with children. Makes sense. You don't have a partner, you don't have a spouse, somebody to help protect you and care for you and take care of the kids or any of that kind of stuff. Now, if you look at men's happiness, the same thing is actually true. It turns out that married men with children are, in fact, the happiest men. This is not a giant shock. It turns out that marriage is good for both men and for women. The happiest men are married men with children. Thirty five percent say that they are very happy. Again, not even as happy as the women. Women are happier. Forty nine percent say that they are pretty happy and about 16 percent say that they are not too happy. Unmarried men with no children, only 13.8 percent, 14 percent say that they are very happy. Another 64 percent say they're kind of OK, but 22 percent say they're very unhappy or at least not too happy. So marriage makes people happier and marriage with children makes people significantly happier. And that is true for women and it is true for men. And women's happiness outpaces marriage. I mean, women's happiness outpaces men's happiness in terms of the trajectory and final outcome when they get married and have kids. And we have an entire society built around the idea that marriage is an imposition on women and that women are suffering because of marriage, which is, of course, a lie. Why is this? Why do women get happier when they get married and then when they have kids? Why? Well, that is because men and women are different. I know controversial things being said today here on The Ben Shapiro Show. Men and women are different. The single most fundamental fact of human biology, women, men, not the same, because among many other differences, men and women are driven differently. Our brains don't work quite the same way. Women are driven by compassion. This is, in fact, the driving evolutionary force in female biology. Why? Because women need to be compassionate toward children to keep the species functioning. They need to be there to care and feed and take care of children. This also means, unsurprisingly, a byproduct of that is that women are far more social than men in the deep sense. So men have kind of a loose aggregation of friends. Women have deep friendships with people. And by the polling data, women are far, far more likely to turn to family and friends for support than men are, which makes sense. Pew Research did a poll a couple of years ago. What it found is that men and women are equally likely to turn to their spouse for support. When it came to friendship, it turns out that 54 percent of women are extremely or very likely to turn to a friend for support. Only 38 percent of men are likely to turn to a friend for support. Other family members, women, 44 percent will turn to another family member. Twenty six percent of men will turn to another family member. So, again, women are people oriented. Men are things oriented. This is why men also end up in engineering very often, because men like machines. They like things. Women like people. This is why women are overstaffed in places like nursing and men are overstaffed in places like mechanics. It's also why if you leave a man alone for the weekend away from his wife and kids, the most likely outcome is that he will pop open a beer and watch football. And if you leave a woman alone for the weekend away from her husband and kids, she's probably going to phone one of our friends and go out for lunch or something. Now, if you take that in the toxic direction where men don't get married, men have aggressive antisocial instincts. And when you channel those aggressive instincts away from family, men are wildly destructive. If you think of the worst men, you know, the worst men, you know, or have heard of, it is people who abandon all responsibility and then victimize everybody else. This is why the jails are filled with bad men, men who are left to their own devices, are not socialized, become nihilistic and aggressive and gross, and they harm other people. The female compassion instinct channeled away from family, however, results in unchanneled compassion. And that can mean sympathy for some pretty bad people. It also means a deep desire for control, because when you're dealing with people, you tend to want to control them out of compassion for them. And the worst women that, you know, tend to be people who are extremely, extremely controlling, which is probably why women are now more likely than men to endorse political violence. Coming up, it turns out that women are now more likely than men to justify political violence, which kind of gives a lie to that. If women rule the world, everything would be peaceful thing. But you know what else is a lie? That you do not need to prepare for your financial future when things get bad. You do. There's one event that is going to happen to everyone, and it's death. And you need to make sure that your family is taken care of. An estate plan lets you decide who will care for your kids, how your assets get distributed, what your healthcare wishes are.

According to a new study from National Contagion Research Institute, women are significantly more likely than men to endorse political violence. Female respondents were approximately 21% more likely than males to express some justification for murdering Zoran Mamdani, for example, and nearly 15% more likely to justify murdering President Trump than male respondents. And what exactly were the strongest predictors of tolerance for violence? Heavy social media use. We'll get to that in a moment. Now, Rob Henderson has written about this in The Wall Street Journal, and he says, a newly published survey paper led by Samuel Pratt at UCLA built what they like to call the Words Can Harm Scale, a survey asking people how much they agree with statements like, Who holds this view? People higher in the belief that words can harm tended to be younger, female, nonwhite and politically liberal. They rated themselves as higher in intellectual humility, empathy, moral grandstanding and the belief in the importance of silencing others at the same time. They exhibit lower emotional stability and a greater tendency to see themselves as victims of everyday conflicts. And they report higher levels of anxiety and depression. Again, when you remove women's compassion, which is a natural thing and a wonderful and amazing thing. I'm watching my wife do it right now with a very, very annoying small child. OK, babies, very difficult, really, really rough. They're like five weeks into baby number five here. He cries a lot. Yes, he's cute. Yes, he's beautiful. Yes, you get from God. And also my wife is getting no sleep and he's difficult. That's the reality. But because my wife is a creature made by gods who do compassion, she's unbelievable with him. That is normal when you take that instinct and you channel it in the wrong direction, because women care deeply about people and what people say to them and what they say to people and all the rest of that sort of stuff. They tend to think, for example, that words can hurt. Men don't think that as much because men, again, things, women, people, their differences between men and women. This also means that women are particularly susceptible to social contagion. Females are really, really, really susceptible to social contagion. They burn through female populations like wildfire. Why? Because women want social connection. And when they can't find a social connection, if they go online and they find fake social connection, that's a pretty good substitute, because as all husbands know, women want to be heard. This is the thing that women want more than anything else. They want to be heard. They want to be listened to. They want to be treated with compassion. I've told I said this before, but it's true, is a great lesson I learned early on in marriage. My wife would come to me with a problem and I, being a man, would want to solve that problem because I am a man. When I hear about a problem, I would like to solve the problem and never think about it ever again. And I had to be informed by my wife before I got the message a few times, because like all men, I am thickheaded, that what she did not want me to do was provide her a binder of solutions. She wanted me to hear what she was feeling. And that's what women typically want. Well, that also means that they are very, very, very vulnerable to social contagion. And social media exacerbates that in extraordinary ways. Parapsychologist Jonathan Haidt explaining this. When all the kids get a supercomputer in their pockets and they get the whole internet in their pockets, the boys rush over to video games, especially, and they can form teams, they can compete, it's really fun. The girls are really interested in what other girls are doing, what other girls are saying, what other people are saying, scandals, dating, breakups, all that sort of stuff. Social media gives you up to the second, like, you don't have to wait for, you know, Seventeen magazine to come out every week, like, up to the second what's happening. So girls get drawn in, but it's an unending stream of social comparison, gossip, criticism, conflicts. That's just a really bad way to grow up as opposed to hanging out with a couple of close friends and talking and bonding and having a small tribe. So this, by the way, is why social contagions have predominantly targeted young women. OK, trans is a beautiful example of this statistically. Just as a statistical example, gender dysphoria was almost entirely located among young males in its early iteration. And then it skyrocketed among young females. Why? Well, because people online started talking to each other and girls in groups started saying, well, if you're trans, maybe I'm trans. Wildly contagious because girls mirror what other people are saying. Again, gentlemen, this explains why your wife takes so long to get dressed for the club when she already looks good. OK, because she's not dressing for you. She's dressing to impress the other ladies. And that's just, again, women are much more social creatures than men, just the way that it works. OK, so what does that mean for protest? Well, it means two different types of protest. Again, not all protests are created the same. When men gather to protest, it's usually for one reason. Either they really, really, really believe in the cause or it's time to riot and loot and grab a TV. Those are the reasons that men show up to protest. Why do women show up to protest? Because it is a playdate. It is a gigantic way to hang out with other people in a situation of social confirmation. And so polarized men will turn toward destructive societal movements and polarized women will turn toward ways that they can demonstrate compassion through things like protests. With regard to Lindsay Clancy, it isn't even oriented around a thing. But here's the thing. Men and women moderate one another. That's the beautiful thing about marriage. And here's the other thing. If we teach women that men are bad and marriage is bad and the patriarchy is bad and their problems in life are all about men and marriage and the patriarchy, then what do we get? Unmarried women don't like men and blame them for their unhappiness. And indeed, that's precisely what we are now getting. A study published by The New Statesman found as a survey of young British women and young British men, young British men under 30. Do you have a positive or negative view of women? Positive, 72 percent, 21 percent neutral, 7 percent negative. Women under 25. Toward men, do you have a positive or negative view of men? Women under 25, 35 percent positive, 27 percent negative, 37 percent neutral. How do you have a functioning society when about one third of women have a positive view of the people who they need to marry as a group? And so when you take all of this and then you add to it the wildfire of social contagion, what you get is people who believe they are being heard online. Are you wondering why you're seeing all these weird clips of women online chucking ice at bathtubs or smacking doors with pillows or whatever? It's because they have been told that if you go to the online world, you will have a bunch of people who are hearing you, who are hearing you. And so this is why you get tapes of a lady throwing ice at a bathtub, doing her mom rage routine. Why? Because what she wants is the clicks. The clicks are a form of compassion in her viewpoint. She's throwing ice at a bathtub on camera, on TikTok. OK, I have never thrown ice into a bathtub. She says it allows me to feel angry without being destructive. I mean, I hope she cleans it up after. It's going to make a mess. Yeah, exactly. And then it's not enough. Got to throw more ice. I mean, I hope the ice machine works. Yeah, she set her phone up. She brought special ice this time. She brought a sheet of ice so she could really enjoy herself. But then she just dropped it. She didn't actually. This is some serious girl bossing. Now, again, well, the aftermath is ice. The aftermath is the ice is broken. OK, so here's the thing about this. OK, like I get annoyed with my kids, too, because I'm a parent. I have many children. My wife gets annoyed with our kids. It happens. And why are you taping it and putting online? Because you're looking for compassion in all the wrong places. And again, social contagions cross marital lines, so they can even affect married women. If you're being told over and over and over your husband is terrible, society is ignoring you. Compassion is to be found online. This is how you get drawn into this sort of crap. So what is the solution to all of this? Widespread marriage, not just you getting married. Widespread marriage. This is why marriage is awesome. It's great and you should do it. It's great because it makes men better and it makes women better. I know it's unbelievable that saying like absolutely basic things that civilizations have known for legitimately all of human history is now being treated as some sort of sexist trope. But all social science data backs, that's all of it, not some all marriage is great. It turns female compassion toward the immediate husband, children, family, because when you extend compassion and empathy to people far, far away and then construct entire systems around that, you generally end up with tyranny. And what does it do to male aggressiveness? Well, instead of men tearing things down, it turns it toward defense of women and children. That's the bargain. It's the whole thing. It gives women a structure for their compassion and it gives men a structure for their aggression. Remove those structures and society completely collapses. You want to know why young men seem to be turning kind of fascist and young women are turning commie. That would be your explanation. When young men are freed of social bonds, they become predators and then they follow alpha predators into battle, particularly if he promises spoils and that they can do whatever they want. And when young women are freed of social bonds, they seek control via the community. And that's where we are. And it's going to get worse from here again, because it turns out ain't nobody getting married. All right, coming up, we'll get to the actual solution to this gigantic problem. But I have another solution for you. OK, you run a business and you need to hire somebody good for your business. Where do you go for that? Well, you go to Zip Recruiter.

You need people who recognize what needs to be done and then they take the action without having to be chased down and kind of forced to do it. That same instinct matters when you're hiring.

In 2000, there were about 21 million unmarried men in the United States and about 18 million married men aged 20 to 39. Today, 30 million unmarried young men, 20 to 39, 15 million married men aged 20 to 30. Again, 39 is old. Okay, 39 by marital status, that's old. I'm 42. I'm 42 and I've currently been married for 18 years and I have five children. The interminable delaying of growing up is destroying our society. We've made our society totally crazy. We took the single most important fact of human life, that men and women are different, and that we created an entire institution that's awesome in order to make them better. And we obliterated it in the name of a supposed equality in all things that simply does not exist. And then we are puzzled by the consequences. So here is the solution. Young men, man up, make yourself the best version of yourself. Go to church, find a girl, ask her out, and then marry her and have kids with her. Young women, woman up, make yourself the best version of yourself. Go to church, attract a man, marry that man, get married, settle down, have kids. You will be happier and you won't be a psycho. But here's what else you have to do, and this is really important. Place yourself in a community with lots of other married people. Because it turns out human action is socially contagious. This is always true. People who live near other married people tend to get married. People who live near other married people who don't get divorced tend not to get divorced. Parents, move into communities with more kids, have more kids. It's not enough to be the one married couple in an anti-marriage society with no fault divorce and an entire informational ecosystem designed to destroy your family. We do need to embrace marriage as a society again. And if we don't do that, what you're going to get is all of these pathologies that you're seeing each and every day. Okay, I do have to comment on one additional dumb take. Naturally, Candace Owens had her own form of stupid take here. So we've discussed some of the dumb takes here. Apparently, according to Candace Owens, it is Big Pharma that is to blame for Lindsay Clancy. It's not that she was mentally ill. Postpartum psychosis, according to Candace, doesn't exist. It's just the drugs. Here's Candace Owens. I made my thoughts clear on this. The moment that she was arrested, the moment that it made the news, Lindsay Clancy is obviously not guilty. There are a fleet of doctors who should be imprisoned for what they put her on. I regularly speak out against Big Pharma. They get away with murder all the time. And in this case, they are getting away with the murder of really her three children, but also completely destroyed her life. When Lindsay Clancy, in my opinion, is not guilty. She was put into an intentional psychosis when she probably just needed to give her kids away for a weekend to get better. But they constantly give you these drugs that do not make things better. And the cocktail of 10 pharmaceuticals that she was on is absolute madness. Intentionally. So there's conspiracy to get her to kill her kids or to make her mentally ill in order to sell various drugs to people. This is a stupid take. It's a stupid take. Postpartum psychosis is real. Now, again, medications interact with one another. And as I've said, I said this earlier this week, the medical industry does not know that much about psychiatry. Psychiatry is a great mystery box. The human brain remains a mystery. We don't know what works all the time. It's basically you're sampling berries to try to determine which one will heal and which one will harm. And when it comes to mental illness, you have symptoms that appear as a result of going up on medication or going down on medication or interactions between medication, which is why psychiatry is extremely difficult. Prescription of psychiatry is extremely, extremely difficult. But the idea that big pharma is like invested in making people nuts is not true. It is not true. It doesn't mean that we have great care. Life is complicated. This idea that it's all a conspiracy, that big pharma just wants to make you paranoid, schizophrenic or wants to make Lindsay Clancy delusional enough to kill her children just for their profit margin like that's not how this works. It's not how this works. People show up with symptoms. They don't know what to do about them. It's disastrous. It's horrifying for her family. She was trying to intern herself at a facility because of that, denying the realities of life in order to find somebody to blame. Sometimes, sometimes I know this is difficult. There's not a clear path of blame. Sometimes there's not. Postpartum psychosis is a real thing. Sometimes it requires real medication. Sometimes those medications come with other effects that then require a second medication. Psychiatry is extremely complicated. By the way, we know this when it comes to physical health, right? You probably have a parent or a grandparent who has one of those pillboxes taking seven combinations of medicines every day. There's this bizarre anti-medical industry routine where it's like, well, you don't need any medicine. Well, no, actually, sometimes you do. Sometimes you do. It doesn't mean they got it right in this case. They clearly didn't. But the notion that somehow this can be laid at the feet of overmedication via big pharma, that is a very, very difficult case. There are certainly cases of overmedication, right? The opioid epidemic would be an obvious one. The overprescription of Adderall for ADHD would be another one. There are clear times when this happens. This is not one of those times. This is just an incredibly difficult situation for everybody involved with it. Perhaps there was bad prescription, but the notion that it was purposeful, the word there is intentional, that it was intentionally done, and that actually she was totally fine. She just needed a weekend off. That is so ignorant of what postpartum psychosis is. I would say it's nuts without any sort of pun intended. What an amazing video you just watched.
