Bluebird,
6.5 seconds is a gold medal winning result compared to the standard response to my gags.
I didn't intend "funbags" at all seriously. It was to remind myself that I was just as much of a hypocrite (at times) as the men I was writing about.
I liked your story, and though I understand your point, I think we should remember that we're talking about the language of a three year old. Of course the term "big hairy monster" is going to have more appeal to a three year old than a medical, Latin term. He still referred to excretion as "potty-poo-poo", so I don't think he's totally corrupt. I doubt he has any more than the slightest concept of what vagina means.
Incidentally, I agree with him that Vagina should be changed. In Latin it means "scabbard", another culturally ingrained phallocentricity I despise. But no-one has come up with an appropriate substitute. "Big Hairy monster" it ain't.
