Huh. Guess I'm a Vulva Nerd

The use of the word vagina when one means vulva drives me right up a fucking tree.  It isn't just me being pedantic (I got a whole 'nother room for that), it's me being pedantic in the service of sexual fricking knowledge.  Know the terms, please.  Not bothering to educate yourself, not bothering to use that education serves to show others that no one really cares about women's health, and that it's perfectly fine that the seep of ignorance keeps growing like a manure lagoon in a hog lot.  Which leads to such charming legislative bonmots as Rep Terry England's analogy of pregnant livestock to pregnant women.  (You remember that one; it was all the rage early this spring!)

What's got me going?  A piece in Jezebel about "How to Make Your Vagina Taste Awesome."  Mind you, I have no problems with this information being disseminated (ha).  I am pro awesome-tasting twats.  But right in the middle of this, I read:

Vaginas (or vulvas, nerds) taste the way they taste because of a combination of factors....

So.  I'm a vulva nerd.

Sometimes I do get a little tired of the snark and the oh-so-hip tone online magazines are adopting these days.  Is this my age showing?

But the piece is actually a pretty good one.  And the comments, amusingly enough, are all about what men need to do for quid pro quo.

sex, language, grump, health
