    Sorry for the losses but shit like this is caused by ignorance for and/or denial of climate change and its causes.

    Don’t use the victims to silence the solution which indeed is better policies to avoid or at least dampen the impacts of climate change. And it is a political problem that can only be solved by voting for those who take care of the problem and don’t deny it.

    I wish you and all the people there all the best. And as soon as you’re all safe please make sure you all go and fucking vote.

    Maybe blood vessels that are part of the clitoris? Clitoris is not just one little knob on the vulva but a rather pronounced organ that has erections in tissue that stretches deeper into the pelvis, very alike the male erective tissues (clitoris and penis have a lot in common and evolve from the same cell cluster in embryo).

    Even parts of modern medicine is struggling with the reality of the “erecting” clitoris (as they do with a lot of female medicine). In that aspect this drawing would be rather modern and sort of accurate.


  • Is the vulva depicted that inaccurate? I’ve seen a fair share of vulva in my life, and they come in a lot of different versions, from very thin and tight lips to a more loose and wide combination of skin folds. The artist may simply have seen or used a model that had a tight vulva with a rather pronounced pubic mound. And the vagina is a sort of “tunnel” (probably not that rigid and straight as shown here) so if you isolated vulva and vagina from the surrounding tissue this drawing may be a rather good approximation of reality, especially when seen in its historical context.

    (I can’t say much about the other body parts in this pic as I only approached vulva and vagina and maybe got in touch with a cervix from time to time.)
