No it sucks cause you are pretty much just arguing semantics now instead of anything productive or interesting.

Ah, yes, The Problem™. We're doomed! Quick, someone blame "the media!"

Age at first menstruation has decreased by a little less than half a year since 1970:

quote:

Reported mean age (± SD) at menarche showed a monotonic trend of decreasing over time, from 13.41 (± 1.30) years for women born before 1970 to 13.03 (± 1.28) years for those born after 1978 (P < .001). Women born after 1978 were twice as likely to experience menarche by the age of 11 as those born prior to 1970 (odds ratio 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.41–2.82). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1327706/

May not sound like much, but as noted this means that you have a much larger number of girls becoming fertile right after elementary school. Crazy! Start of menstruation also has a relation with obesity; fatties become fertile earlier on. And everyone knows there are more fatties now, so...

There are some claims that it has decreased by at least a few years since 1900, but these are based on less reliable studies, as far as I know.

This is a good article and it discusses a lot of the things that I keep repeating over and over again. Some of the comments are beyond ridiculous... *sigh*
