The article repeatedly uses the word "vagina" for "vulva," with ludicrous lines like: "Called a labiaplasty, the procedure shrinks the labia minora — otherwise known as the flaps on the inside of the vagina — with a price tag of more than $4,000."
And: "[W]hen designing her own body suits, [Kim Kardashian] failed to keep those with 'bigger vaginas' in mind, according to her sister. 'You know you guys make fun of me for having a bigger vagina than most,' Khloé admitted to Kim... 'It’s a sliver. Is it just supposed to cover my [clitoris]? The vagina needs a little more fabric, just a little wider.'"
Now, I suspect the whole article is an advertisement for the Kardashians, but you can't build your life around ignoring the Kardashians. Best to just roll with it, and not let them stop you from saying what you want to say, and I just want to tell women who are thinking of having their genitalia surgically diminished because their pants are too tight: Get different pants!
My lord! It's like they're their own Procrustes:
Procrustes had a stronghold on Mount Korydallos at Erineus, on the sacred way between Athens and Eleusis. There he had a bed, in which he invited every passer-by to spend the night, and where he set to work on them with his smith's hammer, to stretch them to fit. In later tellings, if the guest proved too tall, Procrustes would amputate the excess length; nobody ever fit the bed exactly. Procrustes continued his reign of terror until he was captured by Theseus, travelling to Athens along the sacred way, who "fitted" Procrustes to his own bed....

Feminism is especially entertaining in its senescent stages.
Gf thought she was deformed until she saw Hustler.
For a group of people that don't like being reduced to a body part, they sure talk about that body part quite a bit.
In the future, women will have silicon injections to enhance their camel toe.
"... you can't build your life around ignoring the Kardashians. Best to just roll with it, and not let them stop you from saying what you want to say ...".
I think you could. But you're in charge here, so what I want to say is that Kim Kardashian might be a good-looking woman if she didn't have such a huge ass. Or if she didn't display it so prominently all the time. I think Kanye West gave her the wrong idea.
“ you can't build your life around ignoring the Kardashians”
Great aphorism for our times!
Vagina is used because it corresponds to penis, and then came to mean visible genitalia in ordinary usage.
L penis = sword, L vagina = sheath
Where technical talk collides with ordinary talk the results are amusing. One frame or the other has to give way.
Judy Chicago is popularly known for vagina art when what she does is vulvas. Why Judy Chicago, 78-Year-Old Feminist Godmother of Vagina Art, Is Having a Revival title
You can self-identify between camel toes and moose knuckles.
Wyoming just performed a similar operation on their national image.
Remember this?
Oops L penis = tail or penis, gladius = sword. vagina=sheath was correct.
Designa Vagina was an underrated New Wave band.
One of the lesser Kardashians is ashamed of her Camel Toe? This is the kind of Kardashian news I enjoy.
One of my treasured memories, ruined. Feminism ruins everthing :)
The difference between men and women is reduced to genitals but is more in the brain connections. Sexual urges come and go but the reasoning differences are constant.
Leggings are the miniskirts of now.
This isn't feminism. It's just classic female exhibitionism.
Resist the urge.
A post about the vulva combined with a reference to pro-crusties is a case of too many worlds colliding.
Women are hideously cruel to each other, physically and psychologically.
Men get the blame.
The Kardashian women have driven each other, and their stepfather, completely nuts. Roll with it? More like "roll away, like from a live grenade."
(Newspaper writers, with few exceptions, have long been functionally illiterate, as well as notoriously lazy. The rise of the Internet and social media has made this general tendency 100x worse. Don't get me started.)
Vagina Monologues, part 2: The Humongous Labia
I got 150,000 miles on my old Vulva.
Designer female genitalia became a thing as a direct function of free and easy access to p0rn with the rise of the Internet. Surgeries became a known thing close to 20 years ago. This all follows from female fashion and looking at each other for conformity/culture, or in competition to stand out. This follows from armpit hair shaving, which can be traced to a specific advertisement about 100 years ago. Women continue to behave as what they are: female apes.
Males have long requested and performed genital surgery (i.e., enlargement, pumps, etc.), so they seem to have been minimally influenced by the Internet. Boys apes continue to be boy apes too.
Neuroticism.
"For a group of people that don't like being reduced to a body part, they sure talk about that body part quite a bit."
Even more ironic given they keep using "vagina" when speaking of the vulva. And the "vagina" being the one body part specifically evolved to give the male orgasmic pleasure.
Can men with penises get the vulva surgery too?
Asking for Howard and gadfly.
You know how when most girls stand it's just a line?...Well, mine looks like a hastily packed suitcase...
Nikki Glaser
First world problems.
well...
What's with all the leggings all of a sudden?
Don't they send the wrong message in the #MeToo era?
Are they really comfortable?
But I suppose they are preferable to the baggy pantsuits that women politicians prefer nowadays.
how come no mention of islamic female circumcision et al?
Don't they lop off the labia completely? (while they are hacking off the clitoris)
It's a shame women want labioplasties. I hate the look of a manicured vulva, and find more prominent labia to more more appealing.
Are they also going to redesign the Pink Pussy Hats?
Maybe they could just wear underwear that keeps stuff in.
You guys have it easy, just stuff a sock down your pants
Now do Lia Thomas...or was she a 'tucker'?
A staffer got fired from the Biden/Harris communications team when he came up with a slogan trying to play off of Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
"Camel Joe & Camel Toe" didn't go over very well on the brainstorming teams meeting.
A dress for the ladies, and parachute pants for the germs. It's hammer time.
" ... but you can't build your life around ignoring the Kardashians."
But you can live your life while ignoring them.
Seems like there is an analogy to gender conforming surgery.
Imagine how rich you need to be to think body altering surgery is a more cost effective way to deal with how clothes fit you, rather than simply fixing the clothes?
Wouldn't it be easier just to wear a different pair of pants?
And no, I don't have a small penis. She just had a large vagina.
There are few ugly faces as long as they are warm and smiling. There are few ugly vulvas ...

Old ICU nurses' joke.
"What is the difference between uvula and vulva? One is Ah and the other is Ahhhhhhhh!
"the *need* for surgery"
Too much internet porn.
The ancient Israelites (and others) had no written vowels. Later, "vowel points" were developed, but before that "vulva" and "Volvo" were the same word. You can see how confusion could arise.

Diesel?
Talk about safe sex...

Reminds me of a good movie. I forget the name as it's from the 80s(?) But I think it was about a student who immersed herself into the life of a sex worker to get first hand experience for her study.
She became good friends with another hooker who watched over her, they even did floorshows together.
One day they go to the doc for what's supposed to be routine breast augmentation surgery. Well, anesthesia is never "routine". Her friend had cocaine in her system, undeclared during the pre-surgery screening. She died on the table.
And Little Miss Trust Fund Baby ran all the back home.

So when Eve passed a note to Adam, "Would like a ride in my vlv?" it's a good he didn't think she meant her car, or else we might not be here today.
Labplasty Labplasty
Talk about designer flaps
But teh price is kinda nasty
the procedure shrinks the labia minora
It shrinks the labia the same way mowing the lawn shrinks the grass.

Look lady, go easy on them. I can break up with my 18-year-old OnlyFans girlfriend via personal message and I don't have to give her half my shit. It's an uncomplicated relationship and she just does whatever I tell her to because if she doesn't I just click on the next whore and there's no end to how many of these whores there are.
These regular girls with their leotards and 8-5 jobs and stuff ... they're doing their best trying to compete. I mean, there's no way they CAN compete, but they're trying.
Maybe the regular women need to reduce their demands. Maybe reduce what you get to 25% if we break up. Then maybe you're not pricing yourself out of the market and don't have to get your beef flaps cut.
How strange. I like big lips that I can grab onto and pull apart while I play around down there. Only women seem to be put off by them.
I always remind people that women dress for other women. Oh sure,they like it when the guys notice. But the are really dressing to impress other women, on a good day. At least not get critiqued as frumpy, on a bad day.
Vulva surgery is also for other women. Trust me on this. Men. do. not. care. Like Pizza, there is no such thing as a bad one. I cant even say 'somes just better than others'. Because they are all good.
I'm sure in places where serious things are happening such as Ukraine this is not a problem. That said, let's poll all those who identify as straight biological males if they have any issues with attractive woman showing camel toe no matter the size of the vulva. I for one don't think so.

Some unfortunate women are afraid that they will fart when you pleasure the down there.
Everything's bigger in Texas, they say.
Remember Gilda Radner in the SNL skit about Babs and the problem withe her uvula.
I decided years ago to ignore the Kardashians, soon after the father of some of them acted in a cruel way to the Goldmans, and, as I believe, engaged in the crime of accessory to murder after the fact in the case of the murders perpetrated by his friend and client, the murderer Simpson. Not sure what I have missed.
For the record, I have also never watched a Tik Tok either, as I know the company is promoted by people who are, day in and day out, acting cruelly to dissidents and others in China.
Life is better when you take moral stands.
Has anyone mentioned the Wyoming labioplasty last night ?
I guess all this surgery to alter their privates is so they can abort more babies.
"I got 150,000 miles on my old Vulva”
Back in the early 1970s or so, the women in our neighborhood moved from big GM to Volvo station wagons, that were called “Volvas”. Apparently, esp then with Baby Boomer kids, the station wagons were seen as womb symbols, showing the fecundity of the mothers. Hence Volvas for Swedish womb symbols.

Well, there goes the feminine mystique.
Sandra Bullock at the beginning of Lost City complains about her sequened onesie
[Manager] Okay, honey, it’s showtime.
Are you sure about this? Because I have a wedgie in the back and in the front in this thing. I feel like a nerdy figure skater. Sexy. Stunner. I’m all about it. No, it’s not. It’s not. How do I move in this?
Don’t touch it.
I’m not touching it. I’m holding it out. Stop it. Will you stop?
Get it out now ’cause you can’t do that onstage.
And we’re done. And we’re done. Okay, good.Do I need to be wearing a glitter onesie?
I wish I could unsee some of this comment thread.
