Our collective reluctance to say ‘vagina’ shrouds women’s bodies – and their sexuality – in shame

When Dr Jen Gunter, a US-based gynaecologist, and her publisher, Kensington Books, sought to promote her new book on Twitter, they ran into trouble. The problem was the title: The Vagina Bible. It appeared that “vagina” was red-flagged by Twitter Ads as “inappropriate language”.

Who said it was!

What 'collective reluctance'? Why the collective aversion to honest Anglo-Saxon and other vernacular terms by the self-styled intelligentsia?

It starts when you're little and your parents use a euphemism to refer to a part of your body. You learn that it's impolite at best to use any other word than the approved substitute.

Vagina is a beautiful word, just the same as pussy. As women we need to embrace our vagin and the power it gives us.

These days everything is framed as “repression”... the reason why this word isn’t said more often is simply because sexuality is a very private thing. Stop forcing shit feminism on women.

Just because you want to exhibit and portray your bodies intimate parts with the world does not mean every woman has to or wants to.

And if you are referring to the outer genitalia (the bits the woman in the pic is hiding) then it is a vulva. We don't call the penis the vas (or vas deferens) so why not call womens genitalia by their correct name as well

How many 'dirty 'words can we find? Quim.

True. Luxembourg is brexit

I just did, in a train station. Got some funny looks.

vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina. Its like when people who arnt creative go through thinned lips. seeeex! I mean FFS we are animals.

Oh please. Can we just move on. This constant chatter about tits & bums is boring beyond belief.

Vigina is not dirty, it's a little bit greasy

conclusion: Sexual health educators argue that teaching children anatomically correct terms for their body parts – genitals included – helps reduce shame and gives them the language they need if they ever become the victim of abuse

Vagina is not a dirty word.

Is minge a dirty word ?

I much prefer mini moo 🙊

And should be cleaned regularly.

Yes, Twitter is very squeamish and shy even if you use real words. It is only Russian trolls and neo-Nazis can spread their lies openly!

then why are you covering it up

Three point one four.

It’s a tasty word!

also see: vulva

is this a time machine post from 1919?

Reported and blocked. Language like that is not acceptable.

Vagina? Is this the 1950's?

🙄🙄🙄 Paging Jane Lewis MyMenopausalVag

It’s a word I can get my tongue around...

Actually I am tired of hearing women in The Guardian shouting about their vaginas.

Whereas a Johnson is.

Nobody ever said it was. Quit creating outrage where it doesn't exist you pathetic, sad excuse for a 'news source'.

then why are you hiding it

It's probably my favorite word ever.

vagina vagina vagina vagina!

Vagina is not a dirty word.
