I fear to tread here, but...


Is it that today's 13 year old girls are subject to less competition about 

when they start their periods, and are therefore more inclined to admit 

ignorance in the face of them?  The women I know of my generation - mid 

thirty year olds - all seem to have some sort of horror story about 

anxieties, ignorance, lack of openness and teasing etc. etc., from when 

they were faced with the beginning of their periods. Is it so inconceivable 

that Jim's defence of animations demonstrating the use of 'winged' 

thingamajigs is soundly justified in the name of 

just-in-case-nobody-else-is-takeing-care-of-this.


Having said that, I will happily defer to contemporary understanding of the 

need for the marketing of this type of product to educate its consumers.


Phew, did I get out unscathed?

But you are weren't, were you, Jim? 


.. and this is also assuming that, if you, being this young girl, in this

male dominated household, were also not allowed any contact with any other

females in your growing years, without schooling, etc... 


.. or just grew up in a box with a bag over your head.


This is one of the funniest things I have read all day.
