What, exactly, is offensive about the word
"vagina?"
I think the girls have a valid point about
attitudes. They are saying they are proud of who they are...I think that's
a wonderful message. It is a pity that we are so phobic about sexuality
that we can't even name reproductive organs in public without nervous tittering
or a reproachful response.
Remember "Penis Envy?" The notion that strong
women really wanted to be men. How ludicrous. We are all, I
hope, increasingly comfortable in our own skin.
The message reminds me a lot of the gay pride
message...not are we only not ashamed of who we are, but we are
proud. I am woman hear me roar! :-)
I don't quite get the anti-violence message of the
buttons that is purported to be there. But let's hope our kids are more
open about themselves as whole persons than we are.
