Haha There are women in this picture that think they know better what other women should do with their bodies then those women themselves. Thats cheeky.
"Hi my name is Jane Doe, Im here to tell you Jane Dow, that i know better than you do what you should do with your vagina."

and what's worse is there are what appear to be men out there too who seem to know better than a woman what she should and shouldn't do with her body.

"Hi my name is Jane Doe, Im here to tell you Jane Dow, that i know better than you do what you should do with your ******."

WHY would you write something as vulgar as that!?!

Actually, the part which bothers me are the children standing out there.

"WHY would you write something as vulgar as that!?!"

What vulgarity? Would you have rather he used a slang for vagina?

And this coming from a woman!

"there is nothing vulgar about names for our body parts"

Especially when the proper anatomical term is used.

Now if this was 40, 50 years ago; holy vocabulary batman would the holier than thou moral majority be all over this.

Then it's okay for kids to read the comment in school and be thrown out for the way it's written. Good for all of you. Sling away.

As for anyone being "holier than thou"- This is a news article. I state my opinion. Like it or not.

In case you've forgotten Lisa, but junior high health class teaches children the correct terms for the male and female genitalia.

They don't use the slang terms the kids will hear from their friends on the playground.

A penis is a penis and a vagina is a vagina.

Or would you rather children be shielded from learning the correct terms and learn creative, and cutsie, dumbed down terminology instead, like the three R's of education.

Only thing is the three R's is incorrect. It's one R, one W, and one A.

That old school birds and the bees talk moms and dads have with their sons and daughters kind of died a long time ago. Parents are more direct than that, and teach their children the correct terminology, as it ought to be.

Like or not.

I seriously doubt any school student would be thrown out of school for reading vagina in an online news story comment.

Also, and this is just a suggestion, If you think the word Vagina is vulgar, the internet is definitely not the place for you.
