Calling a scrotum a penis is ridiculous so why do we call a vulva a vagina? On International Women’s day what do 10 year olds think about this gender inequality?

International Women's Day aims to accelerate gender equality. Sexuality information and education has a-lot of catching up to do in this area. ​We fail in equality when we teach masturbation and wet dreams for boys (pleasurable) versus menstruation for girls (taboo and dirty), we also incorrectly name body parts. In this video I give examples of why it is so important to name the vulva and not call it a vagina - which is an internal structure you can't see it on the outside. More links at the bottom of this post.


The picture here shows some examples of what some students that I recently taught learnt after one of my sessions. 
 













 
 
 

Here is what a student said they had learnt after a sexuality education session:
 




"Today I learned about Puberty, it was disgusting bit it teached me a lot of things you need to know."
