Coworker taking feminism back 100 years

A coworker of mine is using her body to get where she wants and has qualms about it. She has quickly received two promotions and I fear they have been gained by inappropriate means. She wears these tight pants where you can see the outline of her labia. I don't know how to address this or knock some sense into her without coming off as jealous or threatened. It's like, cover your tits and use your brain even if it means struggling like the rest of us. Just because you have a fancy vergina doesn't mean you can use it to get ahead of the rest of us who prefer to keep our legs closed.

Definitely a woolly skirt, along with a matching jumper, socks and balaclava. That should keep her vergina out of sight and cosy.

Send her an M&S catalogue, with the granny knickers page circled in red

Or something like this, but full length.

Also am I the only person who always mentally mispronounces coworker as cow-worker?

imnotproud · 24/05/2015 19:47

We mock a hoof in my work place, not promote. Must have some cracking knockers Wink

I'm concerned about the 100 years thing. Are these vulvic veils working for electoral reform? Against equal pay? Heck, against being even allowed to work if married? They must be stopped. M & S Granny pants aren't enough: find her a bloomers catalogue.

use VERgina because it belongs to HER and by calling it that it gives us power over our own body."

Appatently HERS gives her power over other people too.

Surely that should be HERgina or VulvHER anyway.

I often flash a hint arse crack at my work in the hope that I will get a less drafty office. So far its not working.

. Evening folks. Funnily enough, we weren't convinced about the OP. In fact we think she was VERgin' on the ridiculous. Ahem. Anyway, we've escorted her to the door. Thanks for all your reports.

I was looking at this thread in a cinema and wondered if OP would use that horribly offensive term; which he did.

BTW film was A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night directed by Iranian director Ana Lily Amirpour. I recommend it to all fans of post-modern vampires and cats.

Anniegetyourgun · 24/05/2015 21:25

How disappointing. I'd just dug out the knitting needles and some suitable yarn.

Fancy vergina is the funniest thing I have ever ever read on Mumsnet.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 24/05/2015 21:40

Poor troll though, all those days of creating a persona, to be tripped up by their labia.

MyOneandYoni · 24/05/2015 21:41

Must be a slow news day in Arkansas...

TheVermiciousKnid · 24/05/2015 21:42

That must be a very impressive labia, if it can trip you up.

YonicScrewdriver · 24/05/2015 21:44

Is labia singular or plural?

Is it one labium, two labia?
