"Vulva owners" - Mumsnet HQ-endorsed company thinks that's all we are.

How do you feel about this?

Mumsnet HQ have teamed up with a vibrator company who, quite proudly, declared us "vulva owners". I'm just SO glad that's all I am, and not that dirty word "woman". I'm just a "vulva-owner".

I wonder if that's how Mumsnet HQ sees us too? (the company happily declare it in the comments under the "I feel like this could also work for non-moms" comment.

There's an AIBU thread on it as well.

I am imagining some work-experience kid mixing up 'uterus' with 'clitoris'.

And the rest, as they say, is hysteria ...

You’re quite right OP. It’s gathered at least a couple of threads already now so that’s a fair few MNers that also feel this way .

Vulva owners wanting to reconnect.

Oh hi Mary, long time no see, fancy a cuppa! What you been up to? Kids OK? Did you hear about Sheila at No 12...

That's not what they mean though is it!

Shouldn't it be a clitoris-haver anyway
(missing the point which I of course agree with)?

WTF is taboo-breaking work?

mach2 · 04/02/2023 09:48

All it needs is Dylan Mulvaney to complete the set.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/02/2023 09:39

There's a huge thread about this in Site Stuff.

twitterexile · 04/02/2023 09:33

Shameful in fact.

AutumnCrow · 04/02/2023 09:31

I honestly don’t know what possessed MNHQ to be involved with this fucking disaster of a ‘promotion’.

Badly done, MN. Badly done.

I wonder if this was written by AI? Can anyone parse this for me - the baby of taboo-breaking work with mothers - I would be happy for a diagram of the sentence if necessary. What is taboo-breaking work? What does the word baby signify in this phrase?

I'm glad it's not just me who didn't understand that sentence either...

Why do mothers need a different, specially designed vibrator anyway? Are they implying our genitals are not normal?

However very odd that Mumsnet thinks it users are just walking vulvas
