Anyway, a recent article on <a href=\"http:\/\/feministing.com\/archives\/007197.html\">Feministing dealt with the tender subject of what to call VAGINAS<\/a> with one of the funnier posts and proceeding comments I&#8217;ve seen in a long time that ended up centering on the appropriate ways to refer to male and female genitalia:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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&#8217;s voice over talking about how much she hates it when she has itching &#8220;down there.&#8221; (Yes, she actually said &#8220;down there.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>But worse than Ms. Voice Over&#8217;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<p>And then&#8230;sigh&#8230;Ms. Voice Over says that she feels like &#8220;everyone knows&#8221; because of &#8220;the smell.&#8221; 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<p>Fuck you, Vagisil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, point being is that a vagina shall always be referred to as a sword wound.  Or, if you&#8217;re dealing with some oddly put together lady friend, I suggest the line &#8220;What the fuck? It looks like God stapled a cow tongue to your groin&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prejudices about the PBH staff aside, I consider myself a feminist.
