A lot of us have never understood what exempts some people from what everyone we know has gone through. I mean don't get me wrong, I spent about as much time playing dolls as most people its just I think most people didn't used to tie their dolls up to the amusement of their step whatsits.
Some people who have been in situations like ours think it serves some purpose to invent a "normal" childhood but that just reinforces mistaken beliefs about the origins of common behaviors many of our culture's institutions are based on. It leads people to try to replicate the process and then be puzzled at their different results.
Still some how or another the increasingly shrinking number of people who have "normal" childhoods can serve various purposes and they do tend to have the ability to do boring repetitive jobs a lot better than people who had the more ancient and empowered parts of their brains stimulated more strongly, frequently and early than those who have no idea or frame of reference to understand what we are talking about.
What eventually emerges is that those of us whose view has been broadened to such an extreme end up learning how to replicate the effects we enjoy towards young people and even older people in order to increase our numbers beyond what are naturally created by people who think small means no consequences without directly engaging in some of the behaviors that people find disturbing in theory and speech but never actually report, though letting the people who do those things take care of that process as they want in the course of their own selfish aims saves us the jeopardy and penalties that come from doing far less violent or sexual things that cant be fully hidden and that people feel unthreatened by enough to report.
