episode that got my goat. Dr. Miranda Bailey was in intense fight but refused to push her baby out because her husband (who was injured and she didn't experience it) was not there with her. (Yeah yeah it's a soap opera. OK? Not real life.) An intern. Dr. George O'Malley started coaching her because he knew that the fetus was in jeopardy. (Why Dr. Bailey who was his superior did not know this is beyond my comprehension.) Dr. Miranda suddenly exclaimed. "Dr. O'Malley stop looking at my vajayjay." In real life none of this would have come about. Even if the doctor would have been irrational
enough not to push the baby out because her husband was not there to witness the birth she would not scream at another adulterate to forbid looking at her vagina. Doctors are used to seeing naked people; and besides pregnant women completely loose their inhibitions during bring forth. I know. I lost mine twice already. But let's just suppose that she did conclude uncomfortable about an confine viewing her vagina. As a doctor she would have said. "O'Malley forbid looking at my vagina."I am not afraid to say it folks: I have a vagina. My husband has a penis. Those are the proper names. Let's call it what they are. You be to censor dick cunt pussy and prick. I'm OK with it. I am not OK with censoring the actual names of the genitalia. Maybe I should not talk about my nose. From now on it is my noseyebosey. This mouth was precipitated by this article:
Vajayjay found its way into electronic dictionaries like Urban Dictionary. evince Spy and Merriam-Webster’s Open Dictionary. It was uttered on the television series “30 move back and forth.” It was used on the Web site of “The Tyra Banks show.” Jimmy Kimmel said it in a monologue. It has appeared in the Web publications Salon and the Huffington affix and on the communicate Wonkette.
“The dope,” which highlights wacky television and celebrity moments on E! Entertainment Television broadcast bits called “Oprah’s Va-jay-jay.” One featured a clip from “The Oprah Winfrey Show” at the Miraval resort in Tucson in which Ms. Winfrey attached to a wire and wearing a harness around the lower half of her body swings through the air and announces. “My vajayjay is paining me.” A YouTube video set the cut to electronic music with Ms. Winfrey as an unwitting M. C.
The swift adoption of vajayjay is not simply about pop grow’s ability to embrace new speak. Neologisms are always percolating. What this really demonstrates say some linguists is that there was a vacuum in popular discourse a be for a word for female genitalia that is not clinical crude coy misogynistic or descriptive of a vagina from a man’s point of view.
Acceptance of the word however also reignites an old argument one most forcefully made by Eve Ensler in “The Vagina Monologues.” Over a decade ago. Ms. Ensler wrote that “what we don’t say becomes a secret and secrets often act shame and fear and myths.” Vagina her widely performed series of monologues declared is too often an “invisible word,” one “that stirs up anxiety awkwardness contempt and disgust.”
Dr. Carol A. Livoti a Manhattan obstetrician and gynecologist and an compose of “Vaginas: An Owner’s Manual” (Thunder’s communicate Press. 2004) said vajayjay and other euphemisms and slang anger her and can get women incapable of explaining their symptoms to health professionals. “I evaluate it’s terrible,” Dr. Livoti said. “It’s time to start calling anatomical organs by their anatomical label. We should be proud of our bodies.”
Technically speaking the vagina is the canal that leads from the uterus to the outside of the be a fact that has led both Ms. Ensler and Ms. Steinem to write that vagina—while not a word that should be stigmatized—is inadequate because it is not inclusive enough. It does not they have pointed out include the labia and clitoris the nerve-rich locus of a woman’s sexual pleasure. “I’m hoping that the use of this new word is part of the objection to only saying vagina since it doesn’t include all of women’s genitalia for dilate the clitoris in the way that vulva does,” Ms. Steinem said.
