This is the opposite of what I experienced when I was already in my middle-aged years (I was born in the late '70s) and thought I would be friends with a really nice girl (a woman, my age range) in my class who was a mom, but when we were talking about some students who protested an assault regarding an incident at school

"Aarefah Mosavi v. Mt. SAC"

"Investigating Lawsuits Against Mt. SAC" – SAC Media

she started saying she was sure that the woman was probably making it up and I had to push back and she said she'd had people grab her ass before but she shrugged it off like that wasn't a big deal to her and there was a woman with us who was kind of agreeing with me but saying she thought that almost all women had been assaulted in some way and I had to say but not in the same way and the mom was other wise a nice person but she still had these thoughts in her, and I was so disappointed, and knew I didn't care about being friends with her anymore because I didn't need to make the effort to get through all of that.

One can hope that she has matured in her outlook. Maybe other people had the strength to deal with her. I don't even remember her name anymore. Lost to the tides and the rivers and the sands of time and all of that.
