At least we can find our vaginas.

It’s 9 a.m. Do you know where your vagina is?

In a recent study in the UK, an amazing 50% of women aged 26-35 surveyed could not find a vagina on a diagram. These are the famous millennials who we are counting on to fix the world.

 Question: Where is your vagina?

 Answer: I have no fucking idea.

I will remind you that we’re not talking about rookies here. These gals have had this equipment for upwards of 35 years. And they still can’t identify it in a lineup. In my experience, it was only drunk college boys who had trouble finding the damn thing.

You know who can spot one? Baby boomers. Yup, turns out we know our stuff. Eight in ten women aged 66-75 can spot the ovaries and a whopping 90% can even show you around the womb. (Assuming you want to be shown around.)

Maybe familiarity breeds familiarity. After 75 years, you pretty much know your body’s important landmarks, including its major tourist attractions.

It turns out 65% of young women also say they have a problem using the words vagina or vulva (try not to think of that Seinfeld episode). And nearly 40% resort to code names like “lady parts” or “women’s bits” when talking about, you know, their women’s bits.

There’s actually a serious aspect to all this. In a country where 53 women a day are diagnosed with some kind of gynecological cancer (U.S. numbers here), one in ten 16-35 year olds in the UK said they found it very hard to talk to their doctors about gynecological health. And nearly a third said they avoided going to the gynecologist altogether because they were embarrassed. This is just unacceptable.

On the other hand, I can’t help but wonder how someone who can’t find her vagina can be expected to find a gynecologist.

Anyway, as boomers, we appreciate our many reasons to feel superior to millennials, with their dewy skin and perky breasts (located just below the collarbone, girls!).

And while we may not be using our lady parts as often as we’d like, at least when we need ‘em we know where to find ‘em.
