The vagina, a majestic place where life begins, a place so mysterious and wonderful only a few really know about it. You might be thinking, “Why only a ‘few’ when half of the world’s population live everyday with one?” True, but maybe so few women know about their vaginas because society has made the word kind of displeasing. It sounds more like a disease than it does Mother Nature’s beautiful creation. As children, our parents would give our vaginas cute nicknames like, “pee pee,” or, “nou nou,” because saying the atomically correct word to a 4 year old girl might have been too scary for her.
As we grow older, we see and hear about boys and men being taught to be comfortable with their penises by naming them, “Mr. Johnson,” “The Legend,” or “Superman.” What do these words have in common? They symbolize power and a sense of pride. On the other hand, woman have been taught to keep their vaginas a secret, especially as they got older, because it was not very lady-like to expose oneself in that manner. So by keeping our legs closed and referring to it as, “Down There,” “Private Parts,” or, “Area” made everyone else around them more comfortable. What do these words have in common? Shame and discomfort towards something so natural.
So it’s our turn ladies of all types! This is your chance to feel empowered and see that we owe ourselves a little more credit to our vaginas!
