What is the stigma with the word VAGINA?

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.

Plus, why Amazon Sidewalk is getting us all riled up.

The latest backlash against H&M’s statement on Xinjiang is delayed for months due to negotiations over China’s trade deal with the European Union, mainland media suggested.

瑞典服裝品牌H&M被共青團翻舊賬，指對方停用新疆棉花是「造謠抵制」，導致內地電商將H&M下架。有報道指，H&M去年10月已發聲明停用新疆棉，卻未遭內地聲討，是因中共不想影響當時的中歐投資協定談判。

IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 SAMPLE ANSWER BAND 8 TOPIC PATIENCE
? Link bài mẫu band 8 cùng chủ đề: http://bit.ly/344FLY4

- Tiếp tục chuỗi IELTS Speaking Part 1 theo chủ đề, hôm nay chúng ta cùng tham khảo bài mẫu từ Ms.Quỳnh theo topic Patience - Kiên nhẫn nhé.

Video cript:

1. Are you a patient person?

It’s a case by case situation but generally speaking I’m an extremely patient person. I can be very consistent with my goals. Besides, I don’t see the point of getting all riled up for the things that are out of my control, because anger can distract me from objective and logical thinking in stressful situations.

2. Do you think you are more patient now than when you were younger?

Absolutely! Especially when puberty hit and I was under a lot of pressure from my parents as well as from peers, I was cranky all the time. But now, although I have a lot more things going through my head , I've learned to get into the habit of keeping track of my thoughts by writing out everything that I have to do in order to see what makes me impatient. This will help me slow down and focus on one task at a time and remove those things that stress me out.

3. When are you impatient?

I could get really irritated if somebody takes a lot of time doing something. And what’s even worse is that, I can lose my cool easily when waiting for somebody for a long time and then being stood up.

4. Can you explain why some people are not very impatient?

Well, I think this is because they all want instant gratification and want things without waiting. Besides, most people have several tasks in their head, and they jump from thought to thought without taking the time to finish one task first. We live interrupted lives as we try to multitask and it is frustrating when we feel we aren't making progress.
