That was in Carrie too. The opening scene where her having a period scares the hell out of her since her zealot mother has kept her in the dark.
We expect women to take responsibility for their reproductive systems but there are states that refuse to provide them with the necessary information to make decisions.
All this while the popular media bombard them that in order to be popular and attractive, they have to be total sex goddesses while their churches extol that to be virtuous, they must remain virginally pure until marriage.
