Vulva owners?!

Just came across this (no pun intended!) on Insta. Can someone explain to me how this company can use the “by mums for
mums” advertising ploy yet then go on to reduce us to “vulva owners”?

I love you all! I'm just about to finish work after a looonng day and you cheered me up..wish I had something witty and funny to add...

I really want a Volvo now.

I’ll swap it for my vulva.

I can take the dog to the beach in a Volvo. Take shopping home in a Volvo. Take my mam out in a Volvo. I can polish a Volvo till it gleams.

A polished vulva might nip.

Never owned a volvo , used to own a classic 2 stroke Saab though.

maslinpan · 01/02/2023 18:56

I already own a 2 stroke vulva.

ArcaneWireless · 01/02/2023 18:56

2 stroke?

If that is all it took there wouldn’t be a need for gadgets…

Slushynana · 01/02/2023 18:59

I am a Volvo owner, my vulva really likes the heated seats in this weather, I may suggest they add a vibrating option as well. Then I could be a very happy vulva owning Volvo owner

Seems relevant:

Honestly, I've got better things to do than worry if someone uses anatomically correct language or not.

Wow, what an unpleasantly sexist article.

Drfosters · 01/02/2023 19:03

I’m trying to work out how to sell it second hand….

BriteSparke · 01/02/2023 19:04

Bah, I sold my vulva last year. Bought three sheep and some magic beans with it.

Maybe it's a typo? Volvo owners? 🤔

😆😆

ArcaneWireless · 01/02/2023 19:06

I used to have a Volkswagen that shook if I went above 60 slushynana

VW - violently wobbled. (Sorry VW - I’m sure your newer versions are peachy)

I want a warm wobbled vulva. I am available for test drives. My owned vulva would not want to part with them though.

This is what I was thinking, if you own something then you can also sell it and transfer ownership. So how can a vulva owner sell a vulva?!

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 01/02/2023 18:41

I don't know if I own a vulva, I mean I've got one, but I'm not sure that I own it. It's just part of me. Much like my my feet and fingers.

Yes I was thinking the same. Can one claim ownership over one's "bits"?

Oysterbabe · 01/02/2023 19:07

I dunno. I'm duly concerned that the term women is becoming taboo, but I can't get too worked up at this. They were talking about mothers but clarified in response to a question that anyone with a vulva might enjoy it.

Oh god. Don't suggest that. Some TW might actually try and buy one!

has anyone climbed up since?

DulcetTones · 01/02/2023 19:11

If they'd phrased it like that, "anyone with a vulva", it wouldn't be as repugnant as the hideous "vulva owner". I'm not inclined to give the benefit of the doubt, honestly.

Because some vulva owners who have given birth don't like being called mums - they might prefer dad or something else. Vulva owners, uterus havers, menstruators is the only reliable way to capture people who were born as women but no longer think of themselves as women.

backinthestoneage · 01/02/2023 19:12

I drove one of the company's volvos once and I could not work out how to switch the lights off.

FictionalCharacter · 01/02/2023 19:12

Ffs. Are Mumsnet collaborating with these people?

Jux · 01/02/2023 19:13

These scrotum carriers are ,,, oh indescribably stupid, really.

A well lit vulva would be useful when walking the dog on a night and would do away with the need for a torch.

And it would also mean that folk would see you coming… ahem.

SoThisisMe · 01/02/2023 19:16

Fucks sake. Not sure how mumsnet have missed the very clear message that WOMEN generally fucking hate being referred to by their body parts but it's putting me right off this site.
