Vajajay? I Think Not.
If you read last week’s New York Times article you know that our pop culture icons are talking about vaginas...or are they? No, they are talking about vajajays and if you know anything about me, you know that I don’t like it one bit. In fact, as soon as I read the article I started my Letter to the Editor campaign, which I am pleased to say, has resulted in my first published Letter.
Not that this should be a surprise, but I am completely dismayed by the idea that we have to have a more "palatable" term for vagina (and BTW, most of the time that word is really describing the vulva - so how confusing is that?). What message does that send to girls and women - are our parts so dirty that we have to use an alternative term for them? What do you think?
In more positive news, Denise over at Fast Times at Club Mom has posted a review of Third Base Ain’t What it Used to Be, and has posed a great question to her readers. Check it out. What do you have to say?
