I hate that the word vagina comes from a word meaning sheath etymologically. men ruin everything

@georgia use vulva instead. and sound clever. its Latin. vulvae is and alternative way to write that.

@georgia hmh okay. I don’t have much contact with it. metaphorical and physical. so I cannot give a more qualified answer.

@nerthos incredibly bold of you to assume women didnt have a word for their own anatomy and needed men to make a word for it when even children come up with their own words. the fact that its a Latinism means it was an imposition of the elite anyway.

What do you want the etymology to be anyway? it's the vagina's function. It literally evolved to house a penis for reproduction.
Also Latin is based. The spread vector of civilization.

@nerthos the vagina is the doorway for a new living baby, it doesnt need to be defined in relation to a penis

@nerthos @georgia men always try to define a relationship without the women’s input 🙄🙄

@georgia Realistically how many times in a normal woman's life will it push out a baby, and how many times will it house a penis?
There was probably another word beforehand that simply got replaced in popular usage by a sex slang word and we ended up with vagina as the main word.

@nerthos I'd argue one is an essential quality (species survival), the other is less essential (sexual enjoyment). theyre connected but most sex is nonreproductive

@georgia People tend to name or associate things to their leisure/sex usage.
Like hitachi wands. How many people think of them as a tool for massages and how many think of them as a sex toy? This is not a gendered phenomenon.

@georgia The enlightened Romans were being discrete about vaginas to prevent barbarians in the dry east and swampy north from figuring out human reproduction.

@georgia @gav @nerthos yes. it is a hole only women have. from the outside it is simply a primary sexual characteristic, hence wifeþurl. inside, it serves the vital physiological functions of facilitating menstruation, coitus, the transfer of male gametes toward the uterus, and the egress of the newborn. all of those things relate either directly or indirectly to birth, hence birþesþurl.

@kura @georgia vagina is also latin. although oed says it meant sheath, particularly in the sense of “the husk that encloses an ear of corn before it emerges”. it seems like you can blame the 17th c french for the anatomical sense assigned to the word.

@georgia @nerthos So why don't feminists make up their own language in stead of using ones created by men?
