1. Maybe if the food they ate

wasn’t so packed with hormones … 🤔

7. That too is a moronic statement

Sounded like an anti-vaxxer.

Back in medieval periods when food and the environment was not a stressing matter to children growing up, puberty started roughly where it is now - sometimes between 10-13 for girls. At the start of the industrial revolution - it started going up as the quality of food went down, diseases were increasing, and pollution getting worse. It peaked in the late 1800's - coinciding with rise of sanitation and medicine. And it has started going back down ever since.

Similar effect for IQ and the reduction in lead. Uncontrolled industrialization did a number on the human race (and the planet.)

8. Quite the leap there

From calling me a moron to an antivaxxer…
I follow the science, and the quantity of hormones in dairy products have been only now being reduced ( read the labels, it’s all being trumpeted now as not contains growth hormones) and even in the linings of cans we buy our food in.
We consume it, it’s passed into our waters (along with other drugs) and is affecting amphibious life systems .
So, kindly and respectfully, up yours … assuming I’m a moron antivaxxer just shows the level of stupidity you operate on and it’s become very, very predictable
here lately

10. There was a person who posted the same in the Twitter thread in support

Twas also what he implied in his statement:

If girls ate and exercised as they did in the past, they would not be capable of getting pregnant so early. Menstration used to start around 14.

11. Wrong again

I’m not on Twitter

12. The OP linked to a twitter thread

I apologize if I misread and thought you were talking about one of the posts in that thread.

2. Or maybe if men would just not rape them when they're children.

5. Or ever.

9. THANK YOU. THIS. 👆👆

Sorry for the shout, but damn.

13. On the Twitter thread, so many of the comments

Are acting as if the issue is yes girls are kind of a blame because their diet causes them to reach puberty earlier. And it's like they don't even realize that the real problem is of course men who rape any age woman. Early puberty is a minor problem.

And it's not like it's okay to rape nonpubertal 10 year olds because they won't get pregnant.

It really shows how easy it is to get sucked into thinking women/girls are to blame... so let's punish them.

3. Wow.

Christofascist Rape Apologists: “If ten year old girls weren’t menstruating, they wouldn’t get pregnant when we fuck them.”

I’m sure it sounded god in their heads.

4. Was he among the Magats who mocked Michelle Obama's

healthy lunch initiatives? Either way, his comment is BS, of course.

6. E. Simm is a piece of shit

That is all.

14. Hoo, boy

So much luggage to unpack in that twitter response. All of it creepy.
