Raise your hand if you suggested your 14 year old daughter listen to this new song you heard about called #WAP before you read the lyrics. ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Thus leading to an informative discussion about which emoji means vagina.
๐Ÿ‘?
๐Ÿ›ถ?

Then why a common anatomical term like clitoris doesnโ€™t get a suggested spelling. It is a body part. Like the skull.

No wonder we in medicine have this uphill battle trying to discuss body parts and educate people around sex and sexually transmitted diseases.
