During a D&D game recently, to our poor DM's horror, we elected to enhance their carefully prepared map by drawing cocks and balls on it, because we are adults. I decided to draw a vagina to accompany the c&b, and realised I didn't know how, despite being a vagina-haver. This made me sad.

It's not on the level of a lot of these examples, but it's mildly irritating that a lot of even well-educated people say "vagina" when they mean "vulva".

warm memories of the time some twitter rando got in an argument with famous gynecologist Jen Gunter as to whether the correct word to refer to the vulva was "vulva" or "vagina"

I love reading the "Parents Guide" on IMDB for this reason. It's always something Iike:

IMDB: In an extended shower scene, 5 women are showering with their vaginas clearly exposed.

Reality: There are 5 women in a steamy shower and if you squint just right, you can see their pubic hair.

It's hard to believe that grown adults can't tell the difference between a vulva, vagina or a fuzzy pubic mound. My favorite ones, though, are the parents' guides that you can tell from the wording that the contributor was livid after viewing bare legs or a sideboob.

(as in the "loose" woman example)

I've occasionally wondered how much of this particular weird belief is men hearing the existing phrase "loose woman", meaning "a woman with loose morals" (i.e. "not restricted by my moral code that says sex must be reserved for marriage"), and thinking it means physically loose (because they've had a lot of sex).

Well, giving birth can permanently change the vagina (this is why they make a special 'post-pregnancy' version of the moon cup, why pessaries exist for prolapses after childbirth, etc). The issue is that people assume the worst case scenario in all pregnancies, believe there is nothing that can be done (like kegels or surgery) to improve things, and think that this entitles them to tell women what reproductive decisions to make. It's also technically possible to cause permanent trauma to the vagina and/or anus through sex, but this usually requires very extreme acts. The incels are seeing clips of prolapse fetish porn, not realising the actors specialise in that stuff and some may have even caused their prolapse on purpose. In the past, instead of seeing weird porn, I guess people would have heard about that sort of thing happening and decided it means any sex will loosen/damage the vagina.

The one that makes me :psyduck: is the idea that large inner labia is a partial prolapse, or that having sex causes them to grow. The size of them has nothing to do with anything. Like the pic of the ham sandwiches labelled 'Taylor Swift's vagina vs my daughter's'.

Yeah people aren't using it as a technical medical term, just as what they see as a more acceptable way to say pussy, which is vague and could mean vulva/ vagina/ bush

If you can see your own vagina you might have some other interesting anatomical oddities going on.

Since the classic remedy for this is to use a mirror guess it's equally odd to know what your own face looks like. You can't see it for obvious reasons.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

1) I'm burning to know if this is real and terrified that it is, because he was wild as gently caress back then.


2) I just remembered the inordinate amount of men that believe people with vaginas piss out their asses.

I may be the guy that thought urethras and clits had more to do with one another than they do, due to reading about how clits and dicks are analogous as a sprout, but come the gently caress on, man. The rear end? Dude. The guys that think piss comes from the vagina have only recently been forgiven by me, since I learned pee is stored in the balls, so guys might not know about the secret bladders women have, but the rear end?? No excuses.

Well, until I was six years old, I believed this. Follow my six-year-old logic: I knew girls had different parts than boys and I knew they had to sit down to pee. Therefore.....

I said this to a neighbor girl (she was 10) and she gave me an anatomy lesson.

It's the obvious pick, but I still love John Updike's bizarre ideas about the female bladder labyrinth:



SPOILER WARNING: women have a shorter and substantially more direct urinary pathway than men, and anyone who thinks women can't produce powerful splashing has never been in a women's restroom. To be fair, John Updike presumably hasn't been...

I liked the Witches of Eastwick film and because I was a kid who loved to read, I read the book it was based on and uhh, even to my 12 year old extremely uncritical self it was incredibly obvious that Updike was a massive humongous misogynist

Question: where did you think you put your dick in to impregnate someone?

It would follow, your dick being solid, it would go in the rear end, but I want to see where your logic took it.
