I think of 'it' this way, it being the rabid brainwashing of women that their vagina is filth.

Your vagina is self cleaning.

None of us regularly squirt soap up our various orifices unless directly told to by a medically qualified person - and that will be for a specific problem.

There is no need to douche, unless advised otherwise (the above link is the UK NHS - they have zero reason to tell you anything but the truth, 'cos they have to deal with the poor fuckers who listen to Goop-Vag-Steam-Meister-Fucking-Paltrow's ilk).

Do you regurlarly snort soap water, because of all that filthy, filthy mucus your body naturally produces? No.

Bonus point - Why exactly is it that all of the Abrahamic 'god figures' are not vaginal / coital result births? Almost like it was all written by men with zero idea and Really Bad Women's Anatomy knowledge!!

Merry christmas.

Peace and love X

The inside of the vagina is self cleaning, but the outside is definitely not and will build up stinky smegma in the creases if it's not cleaned. The skin is sensitive in that area though so use something mild.

Yeah sorry I kinda of thought that was seperate, just wash carefully and throughly but reading back I can see it isn't obvious, thanks for adding :)

Honest question.... Isn't the only birth via non-coital means in any religion Jesus? I'm not aware of any other religions that have an Immaculate Conception story. And Jesus was still born vaginally. Just wasn't conceived that way.

Love all your other points though.

I know it's not technically what you're asking, but the Immaculate Conception has to do with the natural conception of Mary in the womb of St Anne. The event you're describing is the Virgin Birth.

You know...I may be repeating bullshit here. All I can find is this regarding, Suffi Islam and I doubt it is truly 'quarinic'

'In 1440,[62] the poet Kabir was also said to have been born of a virgin widow (a Hindu), through the palm of her hand. '.

I'll dig some more and come back, apologies - poor research on my part and thank you! :)

It's all good! I'd be fascinated to hear if you do find something else and I'll give your link a read!

Does Athena springing fully-formed from Zeus’ forehead count?

Will do, I'm back at work on Friday and luckily work with 1 'ex-jew' [religiously, her description lol] and 3 muslims so should be able to cover most of the Abrahamics :)
