Enough With Vagina

Some will argue that by using the word so casually and constantly, they are reclaiming it, and therefore affirming their power over their own bodies. But one of the reasons not to succumb to the temptation of that argument is that the word-drop confirms a certain perception about narcissistic, navel gazing urban, liberal elites. To try so hard to be shocking, or to be ironically referencing the fact that you are not being shocking, is in fact, in any kind of political discourse, to reduce the level of the conversation to you; to draw attention to yourself??Hey look at me! Aren?t I cool for using this word and irritating and shocking some theoretical Southern senator???rather than, for instance, seeing or taking in the nuances of the political landscape and discussing them.
