 egoldstein says: This clip is in honor of the ridiculous decision by a school in New York to suspend a few students for using the word vagina during a reading of The Vagina Monologues. Oh, here is a link to the clip about the girls who were suspended. I might wake up in the morning wishing that i hadn't posted this clip, but after reading that one, i immediately felt compelled to act in some way. The students could just write "vagina" all over the place and not say it...nothing wrong with reading it....*loophole*!!!  wow! cannot believe a school would actually do that - that's ridiculous! A Teacher to Admire: I remember when my sixth grade teacher made us all recite the word 'vagina' ten times without laughing, at the beginning of our sex ed class. Once the giggling receded, she calmly explained that it was simply the correct terminology for an essential part of the female anatomy, and nothing to be either ashamed nor embarrassed of saying. How novel and refreshing! And I agree with another comment on the original clip - would they rather kids use the street slang? Let's get rid of taboos - how else can we educate our youth in not only anatomy but safe sex practices??? egoldstein:I certainly hope not, for to do so is to be in league with those small-minded individuals who suspended the students. Jennifer14580:Vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina! Insubordination is such a load of crap. "What?! You have a spine and mind of your own? Be still your tongue you silly thing. OBEY ME!" Thanks Eric and everyone else contributing to thr VAGINA writealogues. Vagina. VAGINA writealogues.  Vagina Vagina Vagina Vagina VAGINA! Eric, thanks for this clip. Just one thing--the title "Vagina Clip" makes me flinch. Sounds like a surgical procedure. Ouch! Good on ya egoldstein! *LOL* (PS) VAGINA, VAGINA, VAGINA!!! You can say it on the radio but you can't say it in school? totally absurd that these students got in trouble... seems ridiculous...i remember in middle school health/sex ed, we had to do some presentation saying vagina/penis outloud w/o laughing too! Go Those Teachers-- and shame on these!!!! Vagina is for lovers! Vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina! >giggle< He said VAGINA !! Why is vagina a dirty word? Isn't that what the correct medical term is? I'm not too happy about people trying to make part of my body embarrassing or dirty or shameful. Seems the shamefulness of it all is teaching those girls that their body is "bad." Frankly, my daughter calls it her vagina. When people ask why I taught her that, I like to tell them, "that's what it is called. A vagina. Why should she be embarrassed?" Ridiculous. How is a doctor supposed to know what she's talking about if she keeps complaining that her "flowering lovely" hurts? I'm afraid, Eric, that this is making me just as mad. Two things: First one: the Clipmarks site is soon going to be shut down for using the word VAGINA tens of times... Second one. I'm puzzled about that word for two things. The first one is for what just happened. I wonder how many kids are suspended for saying finger, or leg or any other body part. The other confusing thing is that I've heard many people, specially women, using the word vagina -which is an internal organ- when referring to the external female genitalia. I rarely hear the word vulva. (or any other equivalent if there is any) Any idea why is that? Hahaha. I agree that the title of your clip made me flinch... This thread makes me feel kind of funny inside. Don't understand these feelings. I clipped a documentary about a woman's quest for the perfect designer vagina. @kwonsu Vulva is just the external part. Vagina is the whole tract/tube right up and until the uterus. I don't know what both together would be called other than "female genitalia". Does anyone know if there is such a collective word? That got me thinking...we refer to men's 'thingy' as their penis, but what word would include their scrotum too? Is there a collective word for ALL the external parts of a man or do we have to make do with calling it "male genitalia" too? I think there is nothing wrong with saying vagina because that is the right term for it. I have heard it called a whole lot worse and that would really make everyone flinch. I personally loves me some Vagina. I likes me some Vulva too. I takes em both seriously. Add me to the people who did a double-take at the title of this clip. I thought it was some kind of attachment for female genitalia. So far in life my Vagina has served me quite well. The illustration above gives the same definition of the word as Inga Muscio stated in her book- well I won't say the title here, rhymes with runt. In her first chapter- "Vagina" means sheath, as in a covering for a sword. The word vagina literally means sheath for a man's "sword". To which she gave a deserved "hmpf", and succinctly and beautifully followed up with- "...Ain't got no 'vagina'." funny Speaking of terms for genitalia, IMHO the two least used words are the most beautiful and respectful without being coldly clinical. From Sanskrit comes: Yoni - the female "holder" or "creative" as well as the generally more commonly understood meaning of the external sexual parts; the sexual region. Lingham - the male "wand of light", but with no particular reference I am aware of for the scrotum. These are wonderful terms to use for caring conversation without raising the specter of the notion of "dirtiness" or other negative connotations associated to sexuality when more commonly used terms are employed. I believe that in our sexually bi-polar (repressed honest sexuality / exploitive c... These are wonderful terms to use for caring conversation without raising the specter of the notion of "dirtiness" or other negative connotations associated to sexuality when more commonly used terms are employed.Agreed, they are very pretty words.. but WHY are the real words perceived by so many as being dirty? hey shouldn't be. The weekly show "Grey's Anatomy"..... the chief nurse calls it her Va-J-J. For those of you that are fans.... you might recall this episode where she prepares to give birth to her first son. I've heard Rosie O'Donnell since use the same term on her morning talk show. Just adding my va-j-j comment to the thread.  LOL @ LT!!! i was suspended for three days by a silly and immature supervisor. and of course, the human resources department defended him, who because, he is part of their management. but few months later, the supervisor himself got suspended because of his silliness (he was caught drinking an alcoholic beverage while on duty). and was suspended for thirty days. and when he came back from suspension, he was ridiculed and later he quit the job. this world is fair, the suspender faces a bigger suspender. i take responsibility for my past action(s) and the consequences. i may had been a suspender myself to face another suspender. i may had been immature as well to meet another immature person. he ridicule... here's is the math: three days suspension x 10 = 30 days suspension. whatever we give, comes back to us more or less tenfold.
