Wow, that's really crazy! Definitely a GS 1 reminder ^^ Maybe Pam's cake and enthusiasm about Ginger's period isn't just something which the writers came up just like that.

*looool* I just imagine ordering such a cake at the bakery Having read the comments, what's interesting to me are those who posted that growing up and having your period should not be shameful. I expect that after hearing about this, they will still bake the "first period" cake for their girls. What they don't seem to understand is-- that is embarrassing, to the point of shaming. Really, if you don't isolate your daughter and consider her unclean for ten days after her period, that's probably enough. But it would be better to have a growing up "party" some time afterward, and not mention the menstruation when you do. Not because it's shameful, but because it's a little like celebrating when somebody blows their nose. Bodily functions themselves don't seem to inspire festivities.

Of course it is something natural and normal, nobody has to be ashamed of. It's just really new to me that you celebrate this thing. I thought in GS they just did it, because it fit Pams character, but that they actually do bake cakes or go to dinner...

Haha yeah. At least she didn't have a mom like in the Carrie movie. I'd rather get a cake than locked in a closet with a creepy jesus doll lmao.

I don't think that was Jesus, I think that was St. Stephen, or maybe a photoshop composite? I like how the point seemed to be that crucifixion isn't painful enough for our God! Yes, now, locking your daughter in the closet and having her pray to St. Stephen/Jesus, that would SHAMING.

I think some people believe that if isn't directly acknowledged and celebrated that their girl will be shamed for life about it. The problem is at that age, either gender is really awkward, and pre-puberty, both have a mix of curiosity, nausea and turmoil about sex. Serving a "first menstruation" cake stirs that pot, and practically guarantees the cake won't be eaten.

Agreed. I also prefer the cake ^^ So the whole thing is actually pretty counterproductive. Parents want their teenage girls to feel normal about growing up and their first menstruation but instead of this they make everything awkward with this celebration thing...
