I think it's what woke up most middle ground here is they didn't really believe the propaganda about how "extreme" the new wave really was... instead you have to see it for yourself, otherwise it's very easy to deny that people could be this insistent.

I would've never had to think about how grateful I would be when I was in a maternity ward for extensive hospitalization that there weren't men there present. I'm not a self-conscious type of person by any means so it's not like that, but I definitely was in a fragile state medically given I had to go on magnesium for postpartum preeclampsia and having women who understood the fragility of that was helpful in a stressful environment... I am not a fan of hospitals, I have learned.
