There is a long list of terms for the female member. Some prefer vagina as the most appropriate word, while others reject it because of its whiff of clinical detachment or their dislike of its Latin meaning (sheath). Some have introduced the Sanskrit word yoni into Engish usage, disliking both vagina and the entire long list of colloquial terms because of the pornographic or derogatory connotations they carry for some.
As a student of words (my university degrees are in English), I tend to resist being told what words to use or not use for my body parts. I don’t want to be restricted to having only a vagina or yoni because all other words are considered too vulgar to be spoken or written. there is nothing vulgar about my body, and if some words suggest the opposite to many people, I think they need to hear these words proudly spoken (and see them written) enough that innocent words no longer possess such a crazy-making power over us.
I might want to have a cunt one day and a twat the next. On the third day, I might decide that pussy is my favourite word. Cunt, by the way, has an interesting meaning: wedge. It’s the triangular shape of the pubes that suggested the word. The same word root is used to describe something a non-sexual as the wedge-shaped writing of the Babylonian clay tablets, which was called cuneiform writing. Should we be excited about that?
If a woman finds that a certain word makes her feel repulsed about her body, the question becomes how to deal with that feeling […] I don’t think men have a long list of words for their private parts that makes them feel embarassed about themselves.

I just paid $6 in library fees. That’s a kindle book right there. Librarians are there to make money—just in different ways.

hm.
I don’t like this post one bit.
For one, short skirts and cheerleading do not indicate being a slut
And two, wearing t-shirts does not indicate not being a slut
That’s not-
no-
This is a Taylor Swift song.
no it’s-
it’s not-
about slut-shaming-
It’s about scenes in high school, because there’s another line about how she doesn’t listen to the same kind of music and doesn’t “get” him.
Please, please do not make this song about slut shaming.
It’s not even a good song- but- please-
This song is not about slut shaming. However, slut shaming is a thing that happens. AND IT DON’T GET IT. It gives me FEELINGS. Men want to have sex with girls. BUT THEY WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH GIRLS WHO DON’T/HAVEN’T HAVE/HAD SEX! Like. What? It makes no sense.

No one can help falling in love on a twin size. It’s that or start hating each other because you have to smell their breath, and their knee is always in your ass because ITS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO PEOPLE!

Oh my god. Today I caught the earth with my chin, my hands, and my knee. And people saw.
I honestly thought I was done humiliating myself/falling.

I’m reading comments on Gawker while eating and avoiding doing something. The avoidance is intentional because I am prolonging my response time to someone.
Anyway, I can’t remember if I’ve ever railed against the Kardashian family (my memory says probably not) but, my contrarian nature (thank you Taurus) in the face of these comments makes me now want to defend them (and subsequently all Americans) to the death.
If Gawker is a measure of the elite of American thought, culture, intelligence and society, which ALOLOLOLOLOLOL, then apparently the Kardashians and reality tv shows are a signifier of a dumbed down country, the beginning of the end.
So I guess I am just waiting for them to tell me when the US of A and its people were at their pinnacle? Could it be when these commenters were born, or was it when these commenters reached adulthood?
I guess they’re all unfamiliar with vaudeville, HEE-HAW, Gilligan’s Island, for chrissakes. I can’t list shows and entertainment too far back because I just don’t have the specifics or the facts, but idiocy HAS ALWAYS BEEN A THING. Not to mention that things like executions and lynchings were considered entertainment with tickets sold to the ‘event’.
I mean I’m also side-eying you, Jon Hamm. Like oh okay, you’re an actor. congrats.
I AM A TARUS! I feel like this explains so much about me.

his pledge to her:
i will kill the spiders. i will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry. i won’t ever pop my collar. i will never be rude to your tummy- when i hear it growl and gurgle, i promise to bend down and reply respectfully. i will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. i will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed finger. and the counter-bumped hip. i’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. i will be the big spoon. i will let you win at wrestling. sometimes. other times i will not. i will go faster. harder. i will pull when you want. and tease you when you don’t. i will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. not always. not on schedule. just whenever i want to. whenever i think you need one. or seven. i will check your tire pressure. and remind you to take your car in. i will hold your hand. i will love you. i will love you. i will love you.

I just spent $42 dollars on conditioner. For my hair.
And then qvc gave me an option to “share what you bought” via facebook. No. QVC, I do not want my facebook friends to realize how absurd I am.
In my defense, my Mom bought a year supply of Wen, and didn’t like it. (I know. I love her too.) So I started using it. AND IT HAS DONE AMAZING THINGS TO MY HAIR. But she kept SHARING IT WITH PEOPLE. She bought these ketchup dispenser like things so she could share the Wen goodness with my sisters/friends etc. She kept saying she’d get me another bottle when it ran out. But guess what? I’m out. I’m addicted. And I am not going to ask my mother to spend that much money on shampoo.
