Everything's pretty well arranged in us women. He was talking about the 'Muttermund', but that's on the inside, where you can't see it. How on earth would I go about describing a girl's parts? I can tell from what he said that he doesn't know exactly how it all fits together. Peter has probably never seen a girl up close. In women, the genitals, or whatever they're called, are hidden between their legs.

You can easily see what boys look like in photographs or pictures of male nudes, but with women it's different. I don't think boys are as complicated as girls. I'd like to ask Peter whether he knows what girls look like down there. 172).In The Story of V, Catherine Blackledge quotes this poignant description by a very young girl, of her vagina.

While I was surprised that there was not a discussion of rape in human and other animal interactions, as it's possible only humans actually perform that act with malice aforethought, I can understand the exclusion. There were so many interesting things I shared with other people I know after reading about the systematic repression of or the marvel of female biology! The biological facts as well as the past pride and how our current ideas about female sexuality came to be in both Eastern and Western culture, so for myself, remember that pgs. 84 and throughout I am gratified with how she doesn't forget to cite her sources in the Further Reading. How language shapes the current feeling toward anything is obvious, but I quiet enjoyed Blackledge's survey of linguistic terms and their origins on pg.

I'd never before realized how late in the game the male role in fertility was recognized and probably would not have thought about it without the discussion on pg. I love Blackledge! Her writing is so good! She's thoroughly informative with an academic bent while at the same time giving her works her own personal flavor in a way that the reader is aware of when they are reading scientific fact versus the author's (well informed) conjecture.
