If you want women to “pick better” rather than demand that men be better, then you also have to accept a significant number of women choosing to remain single, can’t have it both ways

Her name was Josie. She was a 17-year-old blind lioness in South Africa. Her two daughters hunted for her every day. They also used her to hunt. Prey would freeze and stare at the blind lioness while Dawn and Duffy snuck around and attacked from behind.
She lived in Addo Elephant National Park. She was put down this past October. She was older than almost any wild lioness on record. The oldest ever was a lioness called Mathata. She made it to 19. Most wild lionesses only make it to 15 or 16. Josie spent her last five years nearly blind, and she still got there.
Her right eye went first. Then her left started to fade. She would stumble sometimes as she walked. She'd call out softly so she could follow Dawn and Duffy by their voices.
Lions usually don't look after their sick or injured. Wild animals rarely do.
In May 2019, Josie had three grown sons. All three were sedated for a move to another reserve. One brother took longer than the other two to come out of it. He was groggy. He wobbled when he tried to stand up. His two brothers killed him right there on the spot.
Her daughters did the opposite, and the reason has a name. Biologists call it kin selection. A biologist named Bill Hamilton wrote it up in 1964. You share a lot of your genes with your kids, your siblings, your parents. So if you help those people survive, you're helping some of your own genes survive. Evolution rewards that.
Female lions stay in the pride they're born into for life. Males leave. So a daughter grows up next to her mother. She shares her mother's genes. Helping her mother stay alive helps keep those genes going. A son doesn't get that same payoff. He'll be forced out of the pride eventually. A brother who can't walk straight won't help him survive what comes after.
Josie lived past the age any wild lion has any right to reach, nearly blind, in the company of the two animals who had the most reason in the world to keep her alive.

A 17-year-old lioness survived for 5 years with blindness because her daughters refused to abandon her.

In China, a women's gym membership is 37 days, not 30. And it's all because during their periods, women often miss one week of workouts.

“Don’t buy a car, it’s a depreciating asset.”
Brother, I myself am a depreciating asset. I won’t be here forever. Not everything has to be optimized for returns, some things are just meant to be enjoyed while we’re here.

When I was a single mom, my car was breaking down, I needed to pay preschool tuition for my daughter so I could work, and I needed groceries. I had enough money in my account EITHER to fix my car OR to pay preschool tuition. If I bought groceries I wouldn't have enough for either thing. As we drove home from work I pulled into the Vons shopping center by our home and just sat in the car, half-praying and half-stressing about buying groceries and what to do about my bills on Monday if I did buy them.
My kids were in the backseat and as I sat there sort of frozen with anxiety my son, who was 7, started saying, "MOM. MOM! There is something in the seat POKING ME. MOM!" and then he started yelling "WHY IS THERE MONEY IN THE CAR?" I'm not kidding. The kid was yelling -- I snapped out of my brain fog and turned around from the driver's seat to see what he was yelling about. He was holding an envelope stuffed with cash. For some reason he thought "robbers" had hid money in our car and were coming back for it. LOL I love little kid assumptions.
Anyway, the cash amounted to exactly what I needed to get my car fixed, with enough left over for a week's worth of groceries. I sort of felt scared walking into the store to shop. I had no idea where the money had come from. In a daze, I got yogurt, chicken, milk, and some produce. I had a little money left over for whatever else we might need later in the week. I paid and drove home, and tried to explain to my kids why I kept crying and that, though I didn't understand it, God had heard my prayers.
Later we figured it out and I got a friend who lived 10 hours away to confess: about 6 months earlier she'd come to visit us. She had a strong impression she believed was from the Lord that she needed to give me a certain amount of money. But it was money I didn't need to spend right then. So she put it in an envelope and stuck it in the back pocket of my driver's seat and prayed that God would allow me to find it when I most needed to spend it. It sat there for 6 months until that day in the parking lot when, inexplicably, it started to "poke" my son's foot in a way he couldn't ignore and he found it.
I have so many stories like this from times of desperate need. I don't know why I'm ever afraid. I am sometimes. I am afraid about things. But with memories like this, I shouldn't be. Thank you for sharing this video, Melissa. It's lovely. And it reminding me of my own stories of unexpected blessing.

Helen Roseveare, a missionary who faced intense suffering and persecution during her 20 years of service in the Congo, shares one of the times that she saw God answer prayer in a most unexpected way: "I went to have prayers with our orphanage children as I did every day, and any of the children wanted gathered around me for prayer time, and I'd give them different things to pray about. And this particular day, I told the children of this tiny baby and asked them to pray for the nurses that they would stay awake all night to keep that baby warm. If the baby got cold, it would die. I mentioned that the baby had a 2-year-old sister who was crying because her mommy had died. I mentioned the burst hot water bottle. During prayer time, different children prayed for different things, and then one little 10-year-old girl, Ruth, she prayed in the usual blunt way of our African children, 'Please, God, send us a hot water bottle. Now, God, it'll be no good tomorrow. Send it this afternoon. Now, if it comes tomorrow, the baby will be dead.' I'm sort of swallowing hard, and she said, 'While you're about it, God, would you send a dolly for the little 2-year-old sister, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?' And that afternoon, the parcel came. It was the first parcel I ever, I've been out there four years, I'd never had a parcel from home. And despite the fact I live on the equator, somebody packing that parcel had been prompted by God to put in a hot water bottle, and a child from my Bible class at home had put in a dolly for a little girl. And it came that afternoon in answer to a 10 year-old child's prayer, and the amazing thing was, you know, that parcel had been on the way five months to get to us. It had left England in July, and it came that afternoon, cause a child prayed."

one of the deepest, possibly most insidious, challenges that people often bring into therapy or psychiatric treatment
is shame
here is my pro tip, developed over a decade of experience
the one quality that reliably, clearly, and, almost always unlocks shame, is playfulness

The reason a lot of moms don’t do this is they understand one fundamental thing, you are not leaving your most precious thing in the world with a person that has shown you they can hate you more than they love them. .
