Vagina and Penis, Oh My
It's kinda funny, but I was recently thinking about why people have such problems with the words vagina and penis, when these blog posts came out.

For me it came up because I had my period. And as per usual I had really bad cramps. If I could have stayed at home in bed I would have. Anyways, I'm curled up in a room off the main lab trying to get everything under control when one of the guys in the class comes into the room. He asks me what's wrong and I tell him I feel like someones trying to rip out my uterus with a rusty spork. Because that's what it felt like, and I wasn't in the mood to sugarcoat anything. Of course the guy flips out, like it's some big terrible secret and what was I thinking actually acknowledging the fact that I have a uterus and a vagina and I let him know that I was on my period. You know what, no. I either have a crap ass pad or a piece of cotton shoved up my vagina. I'm not about to pretend that it's anything but uncomfortable. I'm also not about to try and make sure that you aren't made uncomfortable when you decided to inquire about my health at a moment when it's pretty damn obvious that everything is not fine.

Ever since it happened it's been bugging me. I mean really, what is so freaking awful about admitting to the fact that we actually have sex organs? Why do so many people freak out at the words penis, vagina, and uterus. They're anatomical terms. There is nothing inherently bad to them. And why do we keep having to make up cutesy names for them. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the term vajayjay. It's too cutesy for me, but at least it's a positive euphemism that almost sounds like vagina. But there is absolutely no reason why people should be ashamed about using correct terms.

So everybody repeat after me:
VAGINA, VAGINA, VAGINA
PENIS, PENIS, PENIS
UTERUS, UTERUS, UTERUS
TESTICLE, TESTICLE, TESTICLE
