Prejudices about the PBH staff aside<\/a>, I consider myself a feminist. There are a lot of feminist sites to follow, but I’m probably the biggest fan of Feministing<\/a> (some would say a little too much of a fan<\/a>). Anyway, a recent article on Feministing dealt with the tender subject of what to call VAGINAS<\/a> with one of the funnier posts and proceeding comments I’ve seen in a long time that ended up centering on the appropriate ways to refer to male and female genitalia:<\/p>\n

I swear, I just saw the most offensive commercial about vaginas ever. I was watching F\/X, and all of a sudden a Vagisil ad comes on with a woman’s voice over talking about how much she hates it when she has itching “down there.” (Yes, she actually said “down there.”)<\/p>\n

But worse than Ms. Voice Over’s inability to say the word vagina was the fact that while she was talking about this down-there-itch, the only image on the screen is a porcupine. Followed by a spiky blowfish.<\/p>\n

And then…sigh…Ms. Voice Over says that she feels like “everyone knows” because of “the smell.” Cut to picture of, I shit you not, a skunk. Followed by a lobster. Followed by a picture of a box of Vagisil, which apparently will cure our stank pussies of their animal nature.<\/p>\n

Fuck you, Vagisil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyway, point being is that a vagina shall always be referred to as a sword wound. Or, if you’re dealing with some oddly put together lady friend, I suggest the line “What the fuck? It looks like God stapled a cow tongue to your groin”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
