Do we really need 3 diagrams of the vulva? Kaldari 03:29, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Diagrams? No. But we do need more pictures of vulvas. The penis page comes with numerous photos displaying the variety of coloring, shapes, and sizes penises come in, and this is important to do---I'll explain why in what follows. I feel that in view of the plastic surgery trend where women are having their labia altered in order to better match up to the "ideal" (i.e porn star) pussy, that it is extremely important that Wikipedia's definition show a wide variety of vulvas, and perhaps even include ones which have had operations performed on them (clitorectomies, etc.). As another contributor stated, vulvas come in all shapes and sizes, and the claim by one of contributiors that inner labia are generally minute reveals his/her ignorance about the variety out there. I would like to stress that given that Wikipedia is inadvertantly informing people around the world what a "normal" vulva looks like, the vulvas of women of color need to be included, especially given that there are different phenotypes found more commonly in some ethnic groups than in others.
