> I've started to think pregnancy is such a drain on the female body that the change in behaviour in women afterwards seem like minor psychotic episodes which the medical profession ignore and pass off as "normalised" behaviour.

I don’t know that there’s a nice way to say this, but this is such a misogynistic take. I don’t see anything in the story that involved pregnancy or hormones. Whenever you read about something bad that was done by a man do you comment about how testosterone turns men into psychopaths?

That is your opinion and you can count yourself lucky you have not been exposed to the evil in some women which could alter your point of view. But consider this, if someone holds a misogynistic view, what caused this opinion to form?

On the point of testosterone turning men into psycho's, I'll agree it can make men more emotionless or robotic, but that doesnt make them an a-hole going around causing crimes, which is the connotation the word psychopath generates in the general psyche of a population.
