Check these out, too...
The press secretary for the house speaker blasted Brown’s use of the anatomically correct word as “inappropriate and uncivilized.” A male representative from another state declared that the word was “so offensive, I don’t even want to say it in front of women.”
When did vagina become a 4-letter word? After all, about half of the population has one. But even tampon commercials avoid the word, replacing it with “down there” or cutesy names like “va-jay-jay.” Think about it: when’s the last time a grown man referred to his “wee-wee”?
If we feel too uncomfortable to even say “vagina,” how can we expect anyone to take women’s health issues seriously?
What do you think? Was Representative Brown’s use of the word “vagina” inappropriate?

THIS IS A VERY HARD ISSUE TO UNDERSTAND BUT I THINK SHE SHOULD MOST DEFFINENTLY NOT BEEN BANED BECAUSE WOMEN DONT REFER THEIR VAGINA AS A WEE WEE AND IF SHE WAS TO REFER TO A VAGINA AS A WEE WEE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN UTTERLY HUMILIATED. HALF THE POPULATION HAS ONE SO WHY BE ASHAMED TO SAY IT. THATS MY OPINION

I think it depends on the context in which it was used. I know I have heard it used in offensive ways before, (mostly by immature teen boys), but if it was used in a serious manner, it shouldn't be an issue. You don't get in trouble for saying uterus, fallopian tubes, or cervix. (Although this does make me wonder what their conversation was in which she needed to say vagina!)

I believe she said the right word vagina is the scientific word and i believe it is alot better then saying "va-jay-jay" or saying "down there" considering she is a smart women. I believe the men are wrong for doing that because they are not man enough to here the word vagina. I believe the men were wrong in Lisa Brown's defense.

Flavor: This flavor combines the best of both worlds—fruity strawberry and sweet vanilla.
Fab Fact: This blended treat is new this year in the Strawberry Lover's bag.
Kissing can cause cavities.
