We can’t know whether the prevalence rates have changed or by how much an dita foolish to assume it’s only because of better awareness. The world we exist tin has changed immensely and we are subject to to the affects of those changes.

further than that, our cultural expectations of what is ‘normal’ have shifted drastically over the past two generations.

To further that point, it’s guaranteed that what was normal, isn’t, anymore. Some things are, much isn’t. Few men, relatively, know how to hunt anymore or would be willing or able to kill an animal. Becoming a le to do that has wide ranging impacts on who they are. If we accept that the environment shapes us then when it changes, so do we, and with that what is considered normal shifts.

Yeah, normative skillsets and social roles and expectations are in constantly changing.
My BIL grew up hunting and farming but he can’t ever talk about it anymore because people view negatively in his current social environment of professional urban liberals, who think it is considered psychopathic to hunt/kill/dress animals. He used to hunt, trap, skin, and all that to make money as a teenager. What was totally normal for him, is considered borderline criminal behavior to the people around him now.

Yah, urban liberals can be exceptionally closed minded, in their own unique way.
