My guess is that Judy Blume writes about girls going through puberty and getting periods as a normal, frank discussion of what that’s like. And any talk about the bodies of women and girls is indecent to conservatives.
That’s not true! Conseratives love to talk about the bodies of women when blaming them for making men horny or how victims of rape should be forced to give birth.
They just hate any kind of positive and accepting talk about women’s bodies.
The less girls know about their own body, the easier it is to take advantage of them. Knowing helps them to understand what would be considered inappropriate conduct if accosted by an adult.
Knowledge helps to give girls & women autonomy. Conservatives don’t want that.
