00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.120
We<00:00:21.140><c> might</c><00:00:21.480><c> back</c><00:00:21.760><c> that</c><00:00:21.960><c> up</c><00:00:22.140><c> first</c><00:00:22.539><c> of</c><00:00:22.719><c> all</c><00:00:22.879><c> by</c><00:00:23.100><c> just</c><00:00:23.440><c> thinking</c><00:00:23.699><c> for</c><00:00:23.980><c> a</c>

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.100
The<00:00:43.320><c> men</c><00:00:43.539><c> aren't</c><00:00:43.719><c> quite</c><00:00:43.979><c> as</c><00:00:44.179><c> afraid</c><00:00:44.460><c> of</c><00:00:44.619><c> snakes</c><00:00:44.979><c> as</c><00:00:45.340><c> ladies</c><00:00:45.799><c> are,</c><00:00:46.100><c> I</c>

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.700
So<00:00:49.420><c> it's</c><00:00:49.960><c> very</c><00:00:50.359><c> obvious</c><00:00:50.920><c> that</c><00:00:51.200><c> if</c><00:00:51.579><c> they</c><00:00:52.060><c> were</c><00:00:52.719><c> a</c><00:00:53.060><c> generation</c>

00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.299
It's<00:12:10.500><c> clearly</c><00:12:10.899><c> shown</c><00:12:11.279><c> what</c><00:12:11.539><c> pressures</c><00:12:11.899><c> they</c><00:12:12.120><c> would</c><00:12:12.379><c> be</c><00:12:12.799><c> under</c>

00:12:52.789 --> 00:12:55.570
Now<00:12:52.970><c> I</c><00:12:53.110><c> do</c><00:12:53.350><c> not</c><00:12:53.509><c> know,</c><00:12:53.830><c> brethren</c><00:12:54.029><c> and</c><00:12:54.250><c> sisters,</c><00:12:54.529><c> I</c><00:12:54.669><c> don't</c><00:12:54.950><c> pretend</c><00:12:55.350><c> to</c>
