The Vagina Bible: The Vulva and the Vagina: Separating the Myth from the Medicine by Jen Gunter

funny informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

A few things I'm taking away from this book:
  1.  Patriarchy. Patriarchy. Patriarchy. "Clean" and "fresh" vaginas are the norm. You are not dirty if you have discharge or the occasional odor. You're a human and a magical system is working inside of you.
  2. Your vagina and vulva don't need a lot of help. They've been dealing with childbirth and all manner of secretions since time immemorial. Anyone who says otherwise is likely trying to make money off of you. 
  3. "Big Natural" is just as harmful to vulvas and vaginas (if not more so) as "Big Pharma."
  4. Don't trust what you read on the internet. Learn to do research and develop a relationship with a gynecologist that you trust.
  5. Misdiagnoses are common. Remember to keep track of your symptoms and get a second opinion if you're not sure.
