My gut instinct on this is that if some man tried to raise the question of why young women are experiencing their first periods earlier and earlier, the focus would not be on the question of what’s happening to the girls, but on why some creepy guy wants to talk about it, and that would be a distraction from the main issue. On the other hand, if some obviously serious and intelligent and well intentioned woman like, say, Mary Harrington, began to investigate this question it would get a lot more traction, and her motives would not be questioned. I don’t see anything condescending about recognizing that reality.
