They can regulate all sorts of things related to it and sometimes mandate that things get stuck into it, but she can’t say it. Yes. This is the attitude people like this take when someone calls them on what they are doing. If you were making up an anti-Republican story, ‘state senators ban colleague from speaking because she said ‘vagina’’ might appear in there someplace. (They not only barred her from speaking for the rest of the day Thursday, she can’t address the chamber Friday either.) > [@](#): > > Brown noted “vagina” is the “medically correct term.” > > “We’re all adults here,” she said. I think we’ve cleared up this little misunderstanding. ---

> [@Qin\_Shi\_Huangdi](#): > > The censorship. Rhetoric must be countered with rhetoric or better yet facts and argument not Victorian age prudery What is fascinating is that her use of the word \*was \*rhetoric, not a simple attempt to be rude. It’s a very personal word and her point is that the legislation may seem like something broadly ethical or moral to them, but it is very personal to her. Her cutting to the chase - and getting swatted on the wrist for it - makes this all too clear. Oh, and: vagina. ---

> [@JuliaSqueezer](#): > > The spokesman for the Majority Floor Leader (Jim Stamos, R-Midland) issued this statement: “House Republicans often go beyond simply allowing debate by welcoming open and passionate discussion. The only way we can continue doing so, however, is to ensure that the proper level of maturity and civility are maintained on the House floor.” Because “OMG she said the vajayjay word!” is a mature, civil response? Are they all twelve years old? ---

**Maude Lebowski:** Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski? **The Dude:** Uh, is that what this is a picture of? **Maude Lebowski:** In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal, which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina. **The Dude:** Oh yeah? **Maude Lebowski:** Yes, they don’t like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson. **The Dude:** Johnson? ---
