Were you taught about "the real world")

Obviously, not the real world, but the "real world" in our n's mind.

I was thinking about this the other day, but I had to find the words since my main language isn't English. According to my ndad and his wife, I was too tomboy for the real world and I needed to be taught about it (because hey, people hate women that don't clean a whole home everyday, has tattoos, dresses "like a boy" and doesn't do make up, has interests that aren't appropiate, arrives "late" to home). Funnily, the actual real world didn't implode with my existence.

Please, tell me. I will love to learn about other "real worlds".
