It's so, so easy to forget that our small groups of friends and communities really are just that, and don't respresent everyone. Those groups are also a choice: we can always work to expand our social circles if and when the attitudes in them aren't fitting who we are well. And you know, even just in working in sexuality over the last 15 years, these attitudes have been changing a lot. When I look at this history of the study of sexuality and social sexual attitudes, looking at even just 50 years ago and now shows WAY more change than I'd say we'd expect with most things in such a relatively small amount of time. So, this is changing: pretty fast, really. All the same, I think we can also help ourselves with things like this by remembering that we have the power to recognize when an idea or an attitude just isn't right or is ignorant and not give it weight. I know it can be challenging to do when it's personal, but learning to be resilient with things like this is a pretty handy thing in life, and something most of us will need at at least some point.
