I think she's referring to my reference of not finding it until a month later, more than forgetting it at all--and she did say she was talking about the people she knew personally.

I will say that for so many of us who are so self-aware (and especially for those of us who always have been, and who were raised to be very body-positive) it is hard to conceive of and understand some of the situations that come up from being so unaware of one's own body. Even body-negative self-consciousness makes so many people nervous and hyper-aware of what's going on down there.

But I do see where you're coming from, as far as how that statement could hurt someone's feelings.
