It’s about a girl and her friends discussing menstruation, and wishing they could menstruate, and being jealous of other girls who already menstruate, and praying to God that they menstruate soon. I can see where that would frighten pearl clutchers.

Rhetorical! Thanks for the answer reminding us how against women these fuckers are though!

Tbf in not sure if.its against women or against bodily functions. I assume they’d probably have issues with a similar book about male puberty.

The people banning it are against books about Menstruation…which women do…
