Persuasive Essay On My Vagina

Why has my vagina along with every other woman 's been such a controversial topic for all of these years? That is my vagina and she likes her privacy! My vagina and her ancestors were given rules and guidelines to follow created mostly by men. Men, the species with a penis, the same people that have never experienced monthly menstruation, nor have they ever pushed a human being out of their bodies! I, personally, have not experienced labor either, but if it weren 't for Annie Besant and several other feminists, I probably would have by now.

It isn 't easy being a vagina, nor is it easy to possess one. Life as we know it would not exist without them, which is probably why people have been fighting over the rights of them for so long. (Those
