What is Vaginagate?

[Griffin NoName]

It's all over FB, but why? What? I know nothing. Assuming it's nothing to do with the Vagina Monologues.

The Oxford Comma is all over FB too, but I know what that is.

Is it about that female (Dem) representative that the (GOP) speaker banned from participating in any debate until at least the end of the session for using that word on the floor (in the context of an anti-abortion/contraception bill)?

FFS!

[Opsa]

I thought it was some sort of chastity belt.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Pretty much... 

[Swatopluk]

I thought it was some sort of chastity belt.

Or the Vulval vestibule. Patrolling the inner parts is not enough.

[Opsa]

I try to tell my husband this, but does he listen?

There are all sorts of words I can think of to call anyone who would make "vagina" into a dirty word, but I guess they'd throw me out for saying them.

Let's go back to 'that jade portal the pearl staff enters through', if not L'Origine_du_monde 

I get a bit NSFW today.

[Opsa]

You're in a naughty mood, Swato. But everything is nice and clean.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Not according to the Brazilians... 

[Opsa]

Ouchies!  Must be the retired nazi influence.

Opsa, Zono and Swato I got tea in my keyboard and nearly woke up Lindorm with my coughing/laughing... Thank's a lot guys...

You're lucky I looked at this at home.

It's Everybody Say Vagina Day on Facebook today, in honour of that fine upstanding woman who dared speak a medical term in a house of male-dominated politics. I, too, can think of some very fine rebuttals that would hopefully have entered my head if I were in her position, but their NSFW label does not permit I repeat them here.

Anyways, the link to the Facebook group is HERE. If you type "say vagina day" into Google, or especially into Google Images, you'll find all sorts of info on it.

So in the spirit of the day...Vagina.

A little intro to it:-

Michigan State Rep. Mike Callton (R) "What she said was offensive. It was so offensive, I don't want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company."

What did she say that was so HORRIBLE?!!

Lisa Brown (D), Michigan State Rep., simply said the word "vagina" - and she was silenced for "lack of decorum"!

Her response? "What word would they prefer I use? If I can't say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas? I'm outraged that this legislative body not only wants to dictate what women can do, but what we can say."

What was the original statment? All discussions seem to be about the reactions, not the original statement.

The original statement is HERE. I shall warn you though. It contains the word Vagina.
