In the news: Michigan Representative banned after saying "vagina"

 
Two weeks ago, Representative Lisa Brown delivered a speech before her fellow state politicians. The Michigan House of Representatives then banned Brown from speaking. Why? She used the word “vagina.”

 

 

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?

MOD whats binge eating disorder? i think i might have it because i never stop eating until i feel like im about to throw up like i have no idea if im hungry or not i just eat




Hey girlie,

Eating disorders come in all different forms - and eating until you are so full that you want to vomit could be one of them. At each meal, take your time. Chew each bite carefully and really slow down your pace. When you don't feel hungry anymore, put the fork down and stop. That way, you start to feel full gradually and you don't overdo it! If this eating is coming from a certain emotion (you're feeling stressed, worried, self conscious, sad, whatever), please please talk to someone about how you're feeling. Eating disorders can make you feel overwhelmed because they can take over your life - but they don't have to. You can get back to eating normally and feel so much better, if you're open about it and ask for help when you need it! <3

srry this was like reallly disturbing but thanks

 

hey! no problem, we're here to help!  You really should talk to a doctor about this. He or she will set you up on how to get regular again, and I wouldn't feel right advising you on a health issue when I might be wrong. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

It's not inappropriate because it's just a girl's body part. I don't understand why Lisa Brown got banned. It's not fair for her. It's not a law that you can't say vagina. Helen S.

It would be interesting to know WHY she said it...

It's not like she said something groos or offensive about it. She is just using the medical name for you "girly parts"
