Alt-right Canadian father of 9 sells everything he owns and packs up his family and moves to Russia to get away from all the gays and transes and wokeses.

The Russian government immediately seizes all their assets, which they can’t get back because they don’t speak Russian, and has apparently threatened them for speaking out about it.

Who lets their kids wax clients? And who let’s them do bikini waxes? And what client allows someone this young to do this to them? And why would a parent take a picture of this and post it on the internet? And what client, that allowed a kid to do their bikini wax, was okay with having their picture taken and posted to the internet?  
So many questions.

>
> A woman in Memphis was reportedly arrested after allegedly having her young daughter wax the vaginas of adult women -- something she appears to have posted online.

The _only_ explanations I can come up with is that the client(s) is family member or friend or something. I’m not sure that makes it any better, but I can’t imagine a mom letting their kid do this and I can’t imagine a random client being okay with it.

Why am I totally not surprised that this,

> you see a little girl standing in front of what appears to be two different women with their pants/underwear off … and their legs spread wide open. One picture, which is incredibly graphic, shows the girl wearing gloves and applying wax to a lady’s crotch area.

is what the outrage is over but this,

> she had the kid {her 5-year-old daughter} do this for a total of 24 different clients starting at 7:25 AM, and had her going for 8 hours.

isn’t?

I missed that last part. I mean, I grew up in the family business too, but I wasn’t working 8 hour shifts until I was at least 12.

A relatively minor one being – “wax the _vaginas_”?! Emphasis mine.

That’s not even where the hair is. Does TMZ not know what a vagina is?

The move worked out so much better in his head.

Given the general state of ignorance about female anatomy, my guess is no.

I imagine if one is growing hairs in their vagina, it would be very much time to visit a gynaecologist.

They likely do but “crotch” or “groin” isn’t as sensationalist and TMZ loves anything titillating. Accuracy isn’t going to be the biggest concern for a Fox-owned tabloid.

And they and their audience are not sure if “vulva” or “pubis” are socially acceptable (or if half the audience have even heard of that).

I think it would be a very odd audience in which “vagina” was acceptable language but “pubic mound” wasn’t.

Atamasama’s probably right that they think it’s more titillating. But my reaction to ‘waxing the vaginas’ isn’t sexual arousal but _ouch_!

I feel like most people are aware of the difference between vagina and vulva but don’t really care.

I’d have been impressed if some cheeky writer tried to fit in a comment about a “waxing crescent moon”.

Your typical TMZ reader is probably the wrong audience for that sort of writing, though.

That battle was lost a century ago.

> [vagina - Wiktionary, the free dictionary](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/vagina)  
> In technical discussions of anatomy, the _vagina_ is a wholly internal structure and the _vulva_ is wholly external, but in common use (since at least the 1930s),[[1]](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/vagina#cite_note-1) _vagina_ can refer to the _vulva_ or function as a general term for the entire genitalia.
