Beyond ‘Vagina’.

‘Vagina’ is the anatomical name of the roadway to the most sophisticated reproduction system in (as far as we know) the entire universe.

 Would you say of your car “Wow, my cars’ tailpipe is great on gas” or “I love my car, it’s tailpipe is really powerful and has great torque”. Of course you wouldn’t, how ridiculous.

Here at the PinkyLux School we take up the task of renaming ‘the area’ from which we all emerge.  Does it need to be so parsing and mechanistic? Does it make us so? Dare a culture embrace a new name for their true homeland? Could that begin to unite us, reflect a value to human life that seems missing? Could changing a word invite our trembling over thinking into the intelligence of the body? Could woman gain the power and dignity that their body actually holds and stop dancing around like cupcakes or hiding under a bed sheet?

Probably not.

But that doesn’t stop anyone at this school from going for it.

We call this area ‘The Undercarriage‘. Why? Because you were carried under the heart of a woman in a dazzlingly brilliant reproductive system. Too poetic? It’s a fact.

 * On the same note, ‘penis’ needs an update as well. So far we have come up with ‘dangelglo’ to include the entirety of the male organs involved in fertilization but it’s admittedly a work in progress.

Creation is not a Myth

Not a Story –

There is One True Undeniable Fact that no person can disagree with – ‘You and every person that has ever lived came out of the body of a woman.’

This is not a myth, it’s not a story, it’s not a hypothesis or a philosophy or the result of a government funded study or an opinion poll gathered from a news program. It’s not a religious belief, doesn’t require faith or a common language and you don’t need a class or an ancient text to know this fact. This fact doesn’t require a scholar or a professional in the field or a doctor or a comparative study. It is the factual beginning of each self. It is the one fact
we all share with every person that we engage with in love, hate, jealousy, kindness, judgement, anger, apathy, passion, work, play, sex and laughter, etc.

You came from the body of a woman.

Women produce people.
People are the product of women.

How did referring to all of humanity as ‘mankind’ become the norm? For in fact ‘we are the kind that comes from women’ quite literally. So…

To be politically correct we say ‘humankind’ now, which is lovely and true of course but here at ‘PinkyLux School for Girls’ we enjoy saying ‘womankind’ in recognition of the first thing the whole world can finally agree upon – our common, fleshy and true beginning.

Try it.
