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.

am i just some blank face in
your head?
surely the neurons you hide in that
calcium encagement of yours
do not trouble you
in such a way
little mind-men working away with
their figurative scissors
snip snip snip
around the faces of those mentioned
in passing, those mentioned in tales
and fantasies, and those described like
vague clouds of smoke
snip snip snip
thousands more left like
me
some blank face in
your head

韋禮安WeiBird
全新演繹經典英文單曲《Mr. Tambourine Man》
你準備好一起出發了嗎？

韋禮安全新演繹英文單曲《Mr. Tambourine Man》致敬民歌搖滾教父 Bob Dylan，這首歌是 Bob Dylan 被改編最多次的經典作品之一，《Mr. Tambourine Man》是一首關於「靈感」的歌曲，韋禮安化身為「鈴鼓手先生」，以輕鬆率性的唱腔和編曲重新詮釋，帶著隨性反叛的冒險精神，透過旋律不疾不徐地恣意地暢想和夢想。

《Mr. Tambourine Man》在單曲封面和 MV 設計中特別以六〇年代的復古配色為視覺基調，歌曲旋律從簡單到豐富的層層變化，象徵靈感從點線面的迸發，視覺上更用幾何色塊來呈現樂器的律動。就像《Mr. Tambourine Man》歌曲中一再重複的「I’ll come followin’ you」，對韋禮安來說，沒有靈感時最簡單的解方不是原地等待，而是出發尋找，藉由音樂、電影、書籍，甚至只是烹飪⋯⋯等等生活裡與音樂毫無相關的事情輸入新的刺激，讓身體和腦袋動一動，自然而然就能產生新的創作能量。現在就打開耳朵，準備好一起出發！

♩ 歌詞 Lyrics

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone
It's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing

And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
