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?

i dont see why she was banned from speaking. people in my grade yell penis and the f-word all. the. time! and i see that theyre not expelled. those men are being immature about her saying vagina. its only a body part, people!

I am so shocked by their stupidity, I don't even know what to say! All I can say is using the word vagina indivisually for the purpose of her debate is NOT offensive, but if she used the word offensively or sarcastically that would've been inappropriate. But she didn't, she just wanted to make a point. And since when was using the PROPER term for a woman's private part, a crime? Ridiculous!

I don't at all think that saying vagina is inappropriate, only because that's the correct term to say. As it said in the article that a male representative though it was offensive, I don't think that is offensive either! When saying vagina, its actually better than saying the "c" word. Saying the "c" word is way more offensive. I think she should get her job back.

Okay. Just take a walk on the street and you'll hear somebody say the f-word. I think teen girls if not women see much worse online everyday. Vagina? Really? I'm in seventh grade and last year they made the boys and girls say "vagina, vagina, vagina" before we went to watch the heath video. Everybody was a little awkward at first but everyone was mature enough to handle it. I really don't get this. Wow.

What did they expect her to say? "Down there"? "Va-jay-jay"?

Girls should be checked for breast cancer routinely because they can get it just like older women.
