"Vagina"

[edit]

According to the most correct terminology, it actually represents the vulva (as in the direct quote); see commons:Category:Vulva symbols... AnonMoos (talk) 23:32, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I changed the terminology in the article. I feel strongly that I don't need a consensus to change "vagina" to "vulva" when the first word is perfectly obviously wrong scientifically. The wrong word was used here. Just because the journalists used the word "vagina" to describe this art piece does not make it the correct terminology. This is an encyclopedia -- we need (when necessary) to be more accurate than the journalists are. We should not copy them blindly when they are writing headlines in order to catch the public's attention. The vagina is the tube on the inside; it leads to and from the uterus. The vulva is the name for the external genitalia. It is not only scientifically and medically very inaccurate to believe that the name "vagina" applies equally to both sets of structures, it is also insulting and diminishing to women's sexuality.
