Don’t use the V word

Vagina that is. 3 girl students in New York got into trouble at their school for using the word vagina during a reading from the play “The Vagina Monologues”, after being told by teachers not to.

L to R: Hannah Levinson, Megan Reback and Elan Stahl, who were suspended for flouting a ban on reading from The Vagina Monologues during an open mic night at their New York school.

Elan Stahl, one of the three students, said the girls were not looking to challenge the school during their performance but felt frustrated that officials would ask them to censor the play.

“Our aim was not to get in trouble,” Stahl told AFP.

“We want to put the word (vagina) out there and make people comfortable with using it.

“If they can just admit that the word vagina shouldn’t have been censored because it’s not lewd or obscene … then that apology would be gladly accepted, she said.

  3. Well, as a woman, I don’t particularly care for the Latin term, but hey, it is a body part. What should they have said…hoohoo? Or maybe cunt? Omg, be for real. Sometimes I really wonder about my wonderful U.S. of A.

    Great site!

  4. WTH?? Ok, so what do they call it in sex education? Duh, that is the correct term for a part of the female anatomy. For crying out loud.

  7. Vagina? Isn’t that what it’s called??? They’re using the proper term for it so what’s the big deal? What do you want: wet, sloppy, hairy pussy? Is pussy OK? The school board needs to get with it. Vagina is what it’s called…

  8. I found many Americans to be very prudish during my long sojourn in that country. This does not surprise me in the slightest.
