That I don't think men (in general) have any idea the degree to which assault etc is the 'norm', growing up female.
That I wish men would speak up- but I get why they wouldn't want to.
That I know men who were assaulted very likely could feel left out, with all the women speaking up. ?
That it's hard enough to cram anatomy and physiology back in to my head, but I can pull up a lot from previously learning it, or applying it,, though I never kept in my mind through the years the names and routes for all arteries/ structures/, hormones; route of cardiac blood flow, etc. etc- specifics of function (didn't need to and my brain has crapped out. :( ). I usually get a couple wrong out of 25-30 questions on practise quizzes. But when it comes to Child and Human Development- I am at a loss. Like, half the questions are wrong, I can't reference my own experiences. :( I have no common-sense reference point: way earlier for me (by decades) in some cases; at a loss on the younger ones. Even my physical growth doesn't match what I need to remember is the 'norm'. <Sigh>. :( ?
Not to mention half of it goes out the window with ptsd, just no way to look at the world the way (I) was 'supposed' to, I've already 'completed' the 65+ year old developmental goals they've specified. :( Or they speak in terms like I think, "You must be kidding; who had the opportunity to afford time and resources to stuff that was the least of my worries, since my worries were extraordinarily bigger? " Ugh. :( I suppose I feel like an :alien::( . Sometimes it's hard to not feel like a freak, or get, Idk the word? - Sort of ~ cynical-? Just like wow, -another world, of which I wish I knew nothing else about the one that was my own. No wonder sometimes it's hard to relate to things others do/ say/ are occupied as their worries. Most of those worries- are the 'good' or 'regular' stuff, (relatively speaking). :(
