‘My Vagina Wants to Experience Everything!’

Yes, that is what the headline said.

And to reinforce the positive aspects of whatever the headline means, the lead paragraph enthused:

“Fashionably dressed young Russians mingled in a large hall in central Moscow, decorated with balloons and pink stripes to sip champagne and talk about women’s rights.”

“Anna Gorodetskaya, who owns a lingerie shop, told the audience how her business uses ads which don’t sexualize women…”

Okay, no sexualization of women. But: “On stage, several actresses spoke from the perspective of a vagina having sex, visiting the doctor and using hygiene products. ‘My vagina wants to experience everything!’ one of the actresses said.”

Well. Bless their hearts. Or perhaps their vaginas.

Russian feminism, then, is fashionably dressed young women sipping champagne and talking about what their vaginas want. But nothing sexual, you understand.
