Poll: Is this feminism or just fucking madness? (Male and Female opinions appreciated)

[Wutaiflea]

Nobody buys one of these to suggest that their vagina is actually a gossamer-white flower. People who wear butterfly pendants don't think they're butterflies. And nobody is making a "big deal" out of anything-- it's jewelery, and vaginas are as natural as butterflies or flowers. There should be no reason for having this discussion, yet many people still perceive the vagina as something "disgusting" and shameful. You only have to look at this thread to realize this. That concept has been perpetuated throughout history, and whether you acknowledge it or not it has a negative impact on women. Wearing jewelery like this is one very tasteful, very unobtrusive way to bring the image of female genitalia into a more positive light.

Very true- vaginas are totally natural. My vagina is just part of my body, as much as my hands or my big fat beer gut and I think about it very positively- it's just a small physical part of who I am.

But this whole so-called perception of the vagina being "disgusting" and "shameful"- is this not also true of male sexual organs? It isn't an oppressive misconception exclusive to women, and I also don't believe that the relaxation of old modesties has been restricted to one gender, or made harder for another.

And to me, as a woman, I have never felt that public opinion regarding vaginas has ever impacted on me in the slightest way. Not getting paid the full amount for doing a job because I'm a woman? Not being allowed to vote because I'm a woman? These are disgusting and shameful perceptions that should be eradicated.

People can call my beef curtains ugly all they want- I don't feel wearing a vulva necklace would make them change the mind or help me prove otherwise.

(I have a feeling the title of this thread is far more interesting than the actual story behind it, so I shall add my own creative commentary on what I perceive as overuse of the word "madness")

Madness?

"Hi, Billy Mays here, do you have Madness in your kitchen or by your giant hole in the ground"

"Well then what you need is SPARTA! The fastest, slowest and most dangerous way to eliminate madness... guaranteed! Now this is how it works"

"wow, looohhk at this! Order now and for a limited time offer we'll also eliminate blasphemy Absolutely free"

Um... I've gone to sex shops. Boob candies, penis whistles... it's all pretty common. Now they have something shapped likea vagina and it's supposed to be a shocker?

To each their own

Sex shops focus on the bedroom, a vagina purse in my face at the bank is something else entirely. It's not content it's context. I might add that anything vaguely phallic would get a man burned at the stake.

Thats why men design and drive sports cars my man. The biggest dongs in the world, attached to four wheels and a throbbing engine.

This is about WHY people are uneasy about being openly confronted by a penis or a vagina. For better or worse, society has conditioned us to be private with our genitalia because the two acts associated with our genitalia are also private. That isn't a hard concept, and neither is it a sexist concept.

Yeah, and most feminists would argue "for worse." The acts we associate with genitalia are private because we insist they must be private-- but there is nothing in reality that mandates that they must be. It's an outdated way of thinking which stems from a history of prudishness in certain societies.

Well like I've said before in this thread, the penis doesn't lend itself as easily to fashion accessories. Their dimensionality might make any attempts to represent them ostentatious, but then again phallic imagery exists everywhere in more subtle forms. Vulva flowers? They're pretty and organic looking-- many people would probably have to look twice before they realize what they're actually seeing. I could make plenty of comparisons between the flower and vagina-- consider that both are designed to entice a certain form of pollination, yet we don't look at flowers and think "eew."

But in the end it's just a fashion accessory. It's nothing to make a big deal out of anyway-- just people trying to make a statement, same as all other fashion movements throughout history.

Ok, honestly, this isn't much worse then Necronomicox (yes, undead zombie dildos have a fetish now). 'Feminist' doesn't exactly sound like the correct definition here, it sounds more like they're labelling it as such in order to gain sales. I mean, there's been vaginal imagery in art for centuries, this is just a little more blatant.

I do in fact know multiple people who would buy these and use them, mostly for attention or just the sheer insanity of it.

 

[Jedamethis]

Hmmm. I'll stick to chocolates for Christmas...

But I already got you a gina necklace......*grumbles and cancels the order*

O.O
I am very disturbed.

 

[Lionsfan]

Oh god. I really wish I could unsee stuff....

 

[Calico93]

O_O
i wonder who wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves "right lets order some fanny purses"

 

[manythings]

Don't think there's owt 'feminist' about it. It's kitsch jewelry with shock factor, like having a T-shirt with my little pony getting raped on it. I think the happy tampon purse is quite cool.

I think that could be this years christmas no.1 sought item.

 

[manythings]

I see no problem with these. And guys do walk around with male genitalia on them!! The amount of fucking times I've had a massive knob drawn on my book in school or on my shirt on leavers day or on my arm when I'm not paying attention. It's about fucking time some vaginas got involved.

What bizarre place do all you people live? Is there some global cock item pandemic that just isn't happening here?

 

[manythings]

Probably designed by the same people who made the 'replica of Bella's impregnated womb' for the Twi-hards.

... how do you make a replica of an impregnated womb? And why would you want one? As something to sit on the coffee table?

Gee people it's just a vagina, there are literally billions of them everywhere. You know what's unnatural, a bunch of denim formed to cover what is honest and real. All of this negative fare comes from the fact that society has for far too long been under the thumb of the puritanical sect. Christian, Muslim, Hindu all have brainwashed the masses up to the point in recent world history where it has become the norm. To the point where now most people would scoff at the notion of a naturalist (or Nude beach), and yet all they have chosen is to spend their time without a disguise forced upon them by "the man"...

Wear your vagina's proud women! After all we all came from one, and as a heterosexual male I spend a great deal of time trying to get back into one.

If you are going to talk about what is natural, live in a tree, eat your food raw and never partake of medicine.

 

[superbatranger]

Well...I can't think of anything...that's just...wow.

Then buy that same logic a rolex watch or an armani suit is a phallic symbol. These things are signs of wealth and prosperity, a stretch limo on the other hand...

That's pretty good.

 

[Fozza]

Hmm. I believe I know a couple of person who would laugh pretty hard if they recieved one as a gift. Haha. They're more humour-trinkets then acctual "jewelery"

 

[orangecharger]

I wonder to myself if this is an art piece unto itself. There have been similar online storefront "hoaxes" perpetrated in the name of art.

 

[Legendsmith]

This is just strange. I'm not sure what to think, but if I saw someone wearing one I'd think something along the lines of "attention whore."

I think the feminist tag is more of a cheap attempt to grab customers.

And this. Maybe it's a way to get women who want to get into the feminist thing to buy stuff?

 

[standokan]

This isn't femminism, its just another "hole" in the market, *input 300 reference*

 

[blushmoe]

Nah, my 19 year old girlfriend (i'm 20) would never want this...I'm assuming
Mainly because i don't find it funny at all and we have the same sense of humor!

 

[The Human Torch]

Just some silly products for which there is apparently a market, there is WAY worse stuff out there.
