For those curious, from Wikipedia:

Giving birth is difficult for female hyenas, as the females give birth through their narrow clitoris, and spotted hyena cubs are the largest carnivoran young relative to their mothers' weight. During parturition, the clitoris ruptures to facilitate the passage of the young, and may take weeks to heal.

Hyenas are matriarchals and they fucking deserve it.

Edit: They deserve their social position, not being ripped apart if that wasn't clear

I think I got whiplash.

Interesting how ~~colloquially~~ connotatively "earn it" is more positive than "deserve it"

I debated between the edit and "earn it" but I figured at this point the edit would be better.
