don't say the V word.

We all know that politics and sexuality is a potent mix. In the USA recently a state representative was banned from making further speeches on the floor (speakers box) when she said the word vagina.
While we might laugh at this and think "how petty" or "Only in America" I urge you to reconsider.

Cast your mind back several years when Kirstie Marshall was ejected from Victorian parliment for breastfeeding. For some reason, sex, sexuality, sexual health is considered bad form to mention in the politcal decision making centres of our worlds.

I reckon its time for this to change. Sometimes it's as if the vagina monologues never happened.
