And I do know that several women here struggle with accepting their own body parts as beautiful, often due to comments like these that get repeated over and over again.

Sure, you can say that they should harden the fuck up and ignore those comments... but why is there even a need to make those comments? Isn't it enough to just say that you like/don't like vaginas, aesthetically? Why the need to say they look like an animal part/hunk of leather/uncooked meat? I'd be getting just as upset if a bunch of the women were making fun of guys' penis shapes/sizes in this public forum, beyond just expressing an opinion about like/dislike.

Once again, I'm all for personal preferences. But is there really any need to be so specific about "abnormal" genitals, when everyone is born with what they've got, and nothing can be done about it (other than surgery, which everyone here seems to think is crazy... although if they were with a woman with an "ape's nose," maybe they'd be all for the surgery)?

Hair trimming/shaving is one thing, and everyone has their choice of whether or not to do that, and what they'd prefer for their partner to do. But shape of vagina/labia/etc is something else entirely, is genetically-determined and therefore pretty much unchangeable. I thought we'd discussed that already in another thread.
