Home > Women > The Vagina
The
vagina has been called women’s most disowned
body part. Women find it much easier to identify with their breasts, hair, skin, or legs,
but what about the vagina?
Tucked
away between your legs, hidden behind the soft pubic
hair, the vagina disappears and becomes a sort of
secret. Male genitalia is much more open than
women’s. Men name their penises; call their
testicles ‘the family jewels’ and can
admire themselves in mirrors, whereas many women
would admit that they have never examined this most
intimate part of their own anatomy.
Girls
that are taught masturbation is bad and that they
must never touch themselves ‘there’ grow up
not realizing the beauty of a vagina, in fact
believing it is dirty, repulsive to themselves and
men. Even Freud believed women were inherently
jealous of men because they didn’t have penises
- women have instead this hole or absence of
something, they lack something compared to men. Freud
was wrong. It is hard for women to feel fondness
towards their vaginas, but they certainly do not make
women inferior.
The word ‘cunt’ is an
enormously difficult swear word for people to say or
hear. It is a derogatory term when men use it, yet
many feminists use it in reference to their vaginas,
almost as a challenge, a switch in the use of power.
It is said ‘vagina’ has clinical sound to
it, much more unwelcoming than ‘penis.’
Other, more everyday, words that refer to the vagina
are softer words such as muff, unit and pussy.
In a patriarchal society, the
penis becomes a power symbol while the vagina an
unmentionable topic. But the vagina is the gateway for our
life – amazingly capable of stretching as wide
as it is long to let a baby into the world. Women
need to recognize that the vagina is not the female
equivalent to a penis (as in boys have penises, girls
have vaginas), that their sexual system is a lot more
than ‘just a hole.’
Throughout history, any place, person, or thing that brings value into our world
is celebrated, so why not the vagina?
 In the 1970’s,
women libbers taught other women to stand over mirrors and
see what their vaginas looked like, and know that
their vagina (or ‘yoni’ – the Sanskrit
word that refers to the entire feminine sexual
system) is beautiful, and unique to them. Today mothers should teach their daughters to touch, explore, and share
– but only if you feel like it.

Helen says: i liked your story on the vagina. funny yesterday
when i was taking my daughter to the bathroom she pointed to her
clit and asked what was it? ( she is 3) i said thats your clitors.
she looks at me with a big smile and said i touch it becouse it
feels good! i smiled and said good and you can keep on doing that if
you want. i feel if more woman knew about their boddies we would not
have so many sexual problems in this world! i agree with you on
teaching our daughters about their boddies! i feel as mothers we
should teach our sons about the female body too!
Do you hate waiting for the toilet?
