There is nothing magical about the twat except that from it our future babies are born. That is the only way it is the center of our universe and in any way magical. And it's that function that many feminists want to remove women from.<br />I'm now going to say something sexist. With that function women are beyond special. Without that function women are lesser men. The weaker sex, anything they can do men can do,only men can do it with with more strength and drive. (there are of course exceptions to the rule). I don't know why so many women try to run from that which makes them so unique and necessary and instead try to come across like men.<br /> This is also not to say that women can ONLY give birth. Only, if they make it part of their emancipation that THE most important thing about them is actually a shackle to their own freedom they are doing themselves and other women a great disservice.jr565https://www.blogger.com/profile/06250384040393259866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-78809502249608581152012-09-11T22:13:12.558-05:002012-09-11T22:13:12.558-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.jr565https://www.blogger.com/profile/06250384040393259866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-15366314280935529232012-09-11T21:46:57.641-05:002012-09-11T21:46:57.641-05:00So if there is a Magic emitting Vagina at the cent...So if there is a Magic emitting Vagina at the center of the universe then fellatio must be blasphemy.<br /><br />Or something. caplight45https://www.blogger.com/profile/05812859612469770448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-84504492069000478842012-09-11T21:39:45.049-05:002012-09-11T21:39:45.049-05:00Naomi Wolfe wrote, " it is essential, she arg...Naomi Wolfe wrote, " it is essential, she argues, that women reclaim the “magic” of the vagina and restore it to its rightful place at “the center of the universe.”<br /><br />Gee, and all I ever believed was the G_d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, AKA the Creator, redeemed the world through the life, death and resurrection of his Eternal Son.<br /><br />Mama never told me there was a Vagina at the center of the universe. <br /><br />Yeah, I guess Christians, we be crazy!caplight45https://www.blogger.com/profile/05812859612469770448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-11622942564169364522012-09-11T21:38:26.311-05:002012-09-11T21:38:26.311-05:00Sheesh, my vagina said it's all ready to tackl...Sheesh, my vagina said it's all ready to tackle patriarchal calumny, but someone's else vagina is going to have to do the heavy lifting on pornographic distortion and damaging myths.
