The answer is fear and centuries of misogyny and misunderstanding. A study found that 65% of women are uncomfortable with using words like vagina and vulva, instead referring to it as “down there”. 45% of women don’t talk about their vaginal health with friends or family (I am the 65% stats), let alone their doctor. 50% of young women can’t correctly label a vagina on a medical diagram. I teach my children the scientific words to describe their genitals after attending a talk on Sexual Harassment. The reason why most parents fail to see that their child was being sexually abused is due to this stigma as well as the improper usage of the word to describe their privates. “Karipap” “Berbird” were words taught to these children as tots and so when an “Uncle” touched their genitals, they tried telling their parents but it didn’t really register. “Ibu..haritu ada orang pegang Karipap adik” Let’s try it differently. “Ibu … Uncle tu pegang kemaluan/ faraj / vulva/ zakar/ vagina / penis saya!” I am pretty sure there would be an immediate reaction, right? A healthy vagina is paramount to a women’s physical, mental and emotional health. It is INCREDIBLY important that we talk about them and normalise the language. How are we to know what’s normal and what’s not if everyone is so vague about it? Some of the teens I speak to don’t even know that they could pregnant in their first sexual encounter! Thank you to the naysayers who ‘tsk tsk tsk-ed” sanitary producers @libresse_my which resulted in them withdrawing their ad. This naturally riled up netizens! Well, good news is Libresse has gained more advertorial exposure and more people are talking about Vaginal health - which was the main objective of their campaign. 😏 Am I offended by the artwork? No. People see and interpret things accordingly. I’ve learnt, that our backgrounds, education and the circle of people that surrounds us makes up our beliefs, our values in life and the personality we breed. We can’t please everyone can we? Iklan jap. Use @bobble.it with my code: DAPHNE. They take vaginal health seriously. Stalk them to know more.

「無，無聽過，唔記得」、「無死人」 今日《Daily Mail》將拜登响ABC News嘅訪問當中嘅回應全部Fact Check一次，用咗呢個標題："Biden vs Reality"，唔好以為好笑或者賤喎，內文好認真，只不過啲主流媒體因為種種原因唔直接抽擊拜登。 當中有幾個Fact Check，如果唔係講大話，就可能老到記性思考出現問題， 背景：《The Wall Street Journal》响8月17號報導，拜登無視參謀長聯席會議主席Mark Milley嘅保留二千五名美軍响阿富汗嘅要求，亦唔理國防部長警告美軍完全撤出會令阿富汗局勢不隱。 主持George Stephanopoulos🕵️‍♀️： "Your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline – they wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops." （你嘅軍事顧問對於撤軍時間表，曾經作出警告，佢地希望你保留二千五名美軍。） 🧟‍♂️："No, they didn't. It was split. That wasn't true. That wasn't true." （無，佢地無，唔係事實，唔係咁嘅。） 🕵️‍♀️："They didn't tell you they wanted troops to stay?" （佢地真係無想美軍留低？） 🧟‍♂️："No, not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a time frame – all troops, they didn't argue against that." （無，無就撤軍時間表全完撤出有你反對意見。） 主持繼續追問，"Your military advisers did not tell you, 'No, we should just keep 2,500 troops, it's been a stable situation for the last several years, we can do that, we can continue to do that?" 得到嘅答案竟然係，「唔記得有人咁同我講過」（No, no one said that to me that I can recall.） 「無死過人」 🧟‍♂️"But, look, b-- but no one's being killed right now, God forgive me if I'm wrong about that, but no one's being killed right now." （依家無人被殺，如果有錯嘅話請願諒，依家無人被殺。） 嗱，大家眼睇都有兩個响C-17跌落黎，無，然後話係四五日之前嘅事，但事實北約官方同塔利班都確認至少12個人死亡。塔利班講就當唔知吖，咁北約官方都知，美國總統唔知？嗱，一係冷血，一係未瞓醒。 Patreon原文： 「無死過人」，拜登訪問Fact Check https://bit.ly/3sv8u54 #下次瞓夠先去做訪問 #記得食藥保重身體 報導： 《Daily Mail》Biden v.

“The heart 💜 centre is not something you find by putting attention on a place. It’s something you discover and experience for yourself by NOT connecting with thoughts, ideas, perceptions, and feelings. So the ‘I’ thought having risen, having connected with other ideas/sensations, is not aware of its source, stays away from its source because it’s continually jumping from 1️⃣ idea, 1️⃣ thought, 1️⃣ sensation, to another. When it’s stopped doing this, when you have made a strict severe continuous attempt to stop it making these connections, then it idles for a bit, and then it starts to go back to its source. You find the source not by looking at it as an object in a place, but by holding onto it as a subject......You dont experience the 💜 by running around, trying to locate it, experience it as an object, you experience it by having the ‘I’ thought disconnected from other objects slowly, withdrawing into its source until it disappears in that source and then you experience the 💜 as it is.” ~ cited by David Godman on teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharahi on S E L F - R E A L I Z A T I O N. We might learn meditation by focusing on something, usually an object, eg. focusing on your breath, or a part of the body. It is really a good way to declutter your mind, to shift from having 1000 thoughts to focusing on 1️⃣ object. Which is a huge progress. As we learn more and more, and as we especially want to realize what is Self, Sri Ramana Maharshi suggested “Self-inquiry”, that is “the constant attention to the inner awareness of "I" or "I am"”. Try to meditate using the above and feel the difference between the above ☝🏼 and the usual way of focusing or concentration on an object. A fully liberated being is the one who is Self-realized. #ramanamaharshi #advaitavedanta #spirituality #spiritualawakening #consciousness #selfrealization #yoga #meditation #davidgodman #jivamukti #moksha #nonduality #awareness #reincarnation #selfinquiry #inspirationalquotes
