Granted, LeN. Now I'm curious as to the likelihood of a man linking a period to maturity. I know too many appalling sorts that would be using a different type of milestone.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, for me I can only go as far as gendered insult. I know some people think those are as bad as a sexist insult, I do not agree. At least, not in that example. I don't feel she's being told to shut it because she's female. Or that calling out menarche is offensive or belittling. She's being dumped on because she's eleven, in my read, not because she's she.

all I can know for certain is that we have given the tweet a lot more thought than the tweeter.
Will someone bring me cake? My boss has not been in the office for a week. He leaves Sat. for another week and a half out of the office, so 2 days here in a 3 week period and he left today at 2pm. srsly? how does that work?

ms belle, if I could shove it through the series of tubes, I have lots of cupcakes leftover from my BBQ yesterday. Also, leftover salsa, and quinoa/bean/peppers salad, and some other stuff. Plus beer than neither my roommate nor I drinks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, why am I working? I mean, I knew I would have to, but it's still annoying. I'm still trying to decide if I have time to go the beach tomorrow. HMMMM.

cupcakes AND beer, that sounds like 8 kinds of heaven.

I love that kids just keep growing. It's a beautiful thing.
Except for the part where Emmett is starting to outgrow his size 12 shoes.
We just go back from buying him a foam roller because his ass is so sore from his cross-fit training. And he's got to catch an entire game tonight.
Since we were in the Richmond District, we swung by our favorite cheap Dim Sum plus and got lots of Siu Mai. Pork balls!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
What's perhaps most baffling to me about the "when you get your period" thing is that, on average, that's within a year or two of her current age, which doesn't seem like enough of a difference to make a difference.
I'm certainly no less likely to roll my eyes at a 13 year old than an 11 year old.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We decided not to go down to the Mall like we do most 4th of Julys since a) it was ridiculously hot and b) we were still recovering from a con. Ended up at the Takoma Part 4th of July celebrations, and there were times where that was overwhelming me. Maybe I can blame the heat for that...
