Introduction


If you're a man (or a misguided woman) you most likely found this site by looking up "vagina" in a search engine. Or perhaps it was "lesbian" teamed with "sex". Or even "sex with full vagina shots."  Well, whatever is was, if you came here searching for pornography then you deserve everything that comes your way.  However, if you are one of the few enlightened men willing to extend your realm of knowledge to include women's issues, then you are most welcome to remain.

We hope you realize by now that this is not a pornographic site, sorry to disappoint, although mentions of sex, vaginas and even lesbians might pop up rather frequently, and without restraint. However, our aim will not be to titillate a randy 14 year old boy who thinks he's hit the jack pot by discovering a site that doesn't need his parents' credit card. This is a site about womyn. 

WOMYN! Or perhaps wee-moons, womb-moons, and no, we are not put on this earth expressly to woo men :) Goddesses, Sheela-na-Gigs, Gorgons, however you fancy yourself.  If you have or would like to reach that delicious state where you can face yourself in the mirror and say "This IS who I am, stripped free from  masks and  layers of dust, tattered finery and dreaming expectations. And, quite personally, I think who I am rocks this earth!" then this site is just for you. 

Now, you're asking what's all this about gorgons? Aren't they the ugly hideous female monsters of Greek myth? Why yes they were, Medusa being the most famous. The Gorgons were thought to be the incarnation of men's fear of the female genitalia and it's insatiable might. 

*Notices the speedy exit of the men who now realize this is a feminist site*

Run, boys, run! For the one thing you will hear hurled from the rafters by the Harpies, the one thing the Sirens pick out among the Flotsam and Jetsam washing up on their shores, one thing the Sheela-na-Gigs have in mind when they thrust their legs open wide and leer at men from above their breasts, the one thing that Kali is....

VAGINA DENTATA!

Or simply a "toothed vagina"

Many people (including your not-so-humble site maintainers) believe that man's instictive fear of the "Vagina Dentata" lies at the heart of man's need to oppress womyn--their way of controlling and subduing the inherent powers of life and death they can never have. Believe us, there will be plenty more of like material throughout these pages, this is merely an overview.

The Vagina Dentata is our warm slinky little pet. We love this theory. We love it's symbolic presence in countless cultures, in a myriad of myths, fairy tales, folklore and legend. We are young gals, both of us, of different ethnic background, religious beliefs, orientation, and geographic location. Yet we are bonded together by our red hair, lofty tempers, and love of the exclusively feminine powers and attributes that come with our reproductive organs. We are sick to our womb of the taboos surrounding certain lovely parts of the female anatomy, and the secrets lurking therein. Hence, we have decided to stand up and cry: "NO MORE! OR UPON THEE I SHALL UNLEASH MY CUNNUS DIABOLI TO DEVOUR WHOLE THY PUNY PENIS, RENDERING THEE IMPOTENT!"

*Ahem* Not that we're given to sudden dramatic outbursts or anything

We'd like to invite any womyn out there to join us! No matter your race, age, marital statues, sexual orientation or religion, we welcome you. Our goal is to encourage satisfaction with our natural selves, our inherent beauty, and fabulousness, our independence and ferociousness. Remember, it doesn't matter if you are 80 pounds and breastless, or 200 pounds and hairless, if you are at ease and at peace with your body than you are radiant! Don't let anyone define your own unique beauty for you, but find it yourself, and let your vagina play a part. It's your warm little diamond and yours alone. There is nothing more frightening to society than a womyn who is content with herself and confident of her sexuality, however she chooses to define it.  This womyn is under no one's power but her own. Since we all know war is about which side has the bigger penis anyway, it's a reasonable assumption that all things male come down to this issue--who has the power to assert themselves.

Do not mistake this as being anti-maie, well not terribly so :) But a  womyn can love a man and maintain her identity and be proud of who she is. We only dislike those men who try to oppress us and make us feel we are inferior. This site is about our refusal to sacrifice the control of our minds and bodies in order to please those men and the rest of society.  We are trying to remind the world that we are equals, that we are special, and that womyn were the first deities to be worshipped in the history of humankind. It is about reveling in our natural bodies, the life-giving instruments constantly playing their symphony within us to a rhythm that is entirely natural. Glorying in the abundance of history and mythology, of goddesses and women who have become identified with this man devouring reproductive organ. It is also a place for you to share your own thoughts, writings, art and poetry on the subject. (See further into the site for details) This site has been made with a sense of humor and a helluva passion! If you're not afraid of being pulled back up the birth canal, so to speak, just continue on....
