My Vagina would wear ...

There are many different names for a vagina. “Coochie-snorcher, punani, pussy, cookie, and cunt” are examples. In The Vagina Monologues Ensler demonstrates this extremely well. What we call our body parts tell a lot about the person, for example, where we come from, and the type of person we are. If you’re more shy, and quiet, you would never use slang words such as ‘pussy’ you’d stick to the traditional ‘vagina’, if you’re loud and outspoken, it would be no problem for you to scream out ‘cunt’ like the woman in the monologue ‘Reclaiming Cunt.’ In the book, she also asks a lot of women what would their vagina wear, I believe she did this to show the different personalities, and age rankings of the women. Older women would say things like “Harry Winston Diamonds, Top hats, and elegant dresses” while younger women, like the monologue with the six year old girl said this like ‘mets caps worn backwards etc.” I believe Ensler was trying to add to the painting of the women’s personalities, by asking those questions.
