anti-vagina nonsense.

i read here today about how a newspaper banned the use of the word "vagina" for its use in an article about a rape.

sad.

i wonder what term the newspaper would have found acceptable - cooter? private parts? unmentionables? or maybe just a hushed whisper you know, down there.
i'm upset.

I don't think I've ever seen any article where they specifically referred to genitals of any type.

but I guess I don't read the paper that often, so I don't know for sure.

We are living in a country full-up with the prudish influences of the christian community.

Your body is nasty, nakedness is sinful, and any discussion of your genitalia is a one-way ticket to the firey pits of hell. And sex? Why, sex is: A) For purposes of procreation or B) A married woman's *duty*... something that is nasty and disgusting and not to be enjoyed.

*gag me*

personally i think there's sort of a language issue ( i know there are other things like religion and social issues to avoid the use of the word vagina.)

i'm a native spanish speaker, i live in Mexico, we mexicans are very traditional and oldfashioned, and very very not open to any public sexual content..... but the word vagina ( in spanish we use the same word, although the pronunciation changes ) is perfectly accepted here..... there isn't another word for that part of our bodies, it's a vagina and that's it....
