re: #65 Belafon

I had someone accuse me of mansplaining her career as a forensic scientist to her.

There is a difference between picking up brains off the floor after the violence has stopped (certainly a stressful and traumatic job) and seeing the brains of your classmates fall to the floor during the violence (stress and trauma amplified by overwhelming fear). It’s the fear that a forensic scientist doesn’t experience.

Self awareness just isn’t some people’s strong suit.
