Repeat After Me: "Vulva"

Kat Coble has a nice post on the proper terminology for women’s genital anatomy, and why you’re not likely to ever or often see a photo snapped of a celebrity’s “vagina.” I was going to save it for the weekly round-up, but it’s just too delightful, beginning with her intro, which is a twist on the usual warning about content that may not be appropriate for all ages:

If you are under 13, good. Stay here and learn this now, because body parts are body parts and the more you know about them the less scary they are. The less scary the less likely you are to misunderstand and misuse them.

Read the rest, because it moves on to an ASCII format depiction and explanation of the vulva.
