@vagina_museum I am a man, so my experience with this is through others. This post reminded me of an episode of Golden Girls where Blanche recalls her mother and aunts and other women in her life warning her of "the curse" that would come for her during puberty. Blanche becomes scared of "the curse" that has not taken her by age 16. She asks her mom who says "we need to take you to a doctor if you haven't had your first period yet". Blanche says "I'm not a baby, I've had that since I was 13."
