anti-anti, me too! it doesn't sound as gross to me as it used to, but still -- sounds like a cross between a babytalk word and a gooey texture, which is grossing me out even as i type it. yesterday i used it in an sardonic-type quoting of another person and even with scare-quotes it was blech.
i'm afraid of sounding anti-woman/anti-vag for saying so, but then again i don't mind other vulvar nicknames so it's probably not true. also, it's not fair that dudes picked a gross-sounding word to associate with my body!
This is not a debate forum -- there are hundreds of other sites for that. This is a safe space for abortion care providers and one that respects the full spectrum of reproductive choices; comments that are not in that spirit will either wind up in the spam filter or languish in the moderation queue.
Yuck yuck that is my least favorite word in the English language. That is my only qualm here :)
