<title>The Vagina&#8217;s Media Moment</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Los Angeles Times</em> has <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/27/entertainment/la-ca-vagina-20120527">a great article</a> examining the media&#8217;s new willingness to use the correct name for female genitalia. The conservative advocacy group Parents Television Council went so far as to count vaginas, and found that the V-word is used in TV shows eight times more often than it was a decade ago.</p>
<p>While the PTC isn&#8217;t happy about the trend towards frank discussion of female anatomy, it&#8217;s arguably a direct result of women having more influence in the media, both as viewers and producers of content. From <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/27/entertainment/la-ca-vagina-20120527">the LAT</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Fifty percent of the people in this country have vaginas,&#8221; said &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; executive producer <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Shonda-Rhimes-profile.html">Shonda Rhimes</a></strong>, 42, whose medical drama is widely credited with popularizing one of the decade&#8217;s most fashionable euphemisms for vagina, &#8220;vajayjay,&#8221; to work around nervous ABC executives. &#8220;The idea that we&#8217;re afraid to talk about them or call them by their proper name feels really silly to me&#8230;. It&#8217;s great that some progress is being made and it&#8217;s not such an issue  anymore.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
