How do you describe walking into your house or apartment?
If you are Jane Fonda, you describe your entry way in terms of ladyparts:

This is my entry “hall.” To me it is a womb with a narrow birth channel and then you enter the wide open sunny loft to be born again.
Do you walk into your home or apartment and think, “It’s so nice to be back in my womb! Hmmm…the dishes need to be done?” Have you ever used the words “birth channel” to describe real estate?
Me neither. Perhaps we need to have a “click moment” to understand.
Fonda isn’t the only second-wave feminist type to use reproductive organs as metaphors. It’s a trend that I’ve noted reading through women’s studies books from the 70s and 80s. It’s strange and bizarre.
Compared to modern feminists who are just angry and hung up on abortion, at least the second wave ones are nutty enough to laugh at. As I read through the fem blogs every day, I usually spend about 30 minutes constantly rolling my eyes. Sometimes, I read something truly bizarre that results in a facepalm. Then I notice the byline, and it was usually written by Amanda Marcotte. However, that quote above is too strange even for Marcotte…unless you dropped a few f-bombs in there.

Being the dirtbag she is, what the hay does she know about “woman parts”. She’s a freaking moronic idiot who long ago outlived her usefulness (age 3).
