Phallic Friday - inie vs outie

I just saw this article and was horrified - http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/beauty/cosmetic-surgery/we-should-be-teaching-young-women-to-love-their-vaginas/news-story/7f878fbcc433a8f9c266a63b2c8b2649

In the article, it says that a 16-year old was being teased because her vagina was an 'outie'. And, unlike a poking out belly button, an outie vagina is an ugly one and it was a warning for guys to keep away from her.

Dear God.

I'm speechless with the horror of this. As if women don't have enough shit to worry about with their body image. And to attack something that's 'taboo' even amongst other women is just horrifying. As the article says, women can't compare theirs with others. I've found women don't even talk about their vagina/labia/genitals. Some women don't even look 'down there'. 

If a guy criticises, then women are likely to believe what he says because chances are he's seen more female genitalia than she has. Many more, in some cases.

I have a friend who has seen lots of genitalia and I have been known to quiz endlessly about what's 
'normal' and he's most adamant that everything is normal. That's refreshingly reassuring. And I've been very glad to have that information and hold it close at times of doubt!

So, let me make his comment public knowledge -

EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.

Of course, if it's not normal for you, or you think things have changed or aren't right, then go to a Doctor for an expert opinion on your health.

But for all cosmetic purposes, believe my friend. I do.

EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.

Don't let anyone tell you anything else.
