Not all those who identify as women has vagina/ vulva and not all of those who have vagina wants to be identified as women.
The association of vagina with womanhood is exclusive of gender non-binary, trans folks and intersex people.
3/3
Not all those who have vagina have desire to reproduce and some have medical condition which restrict them to do so.
Emphasis on vagina as THE power women have is reductionist and reinforce the patriarchal mindset that women who do not reproduce are incomplete.
2/3
Can we talk about the politics around the word 'vagina'?
VAGINA is only a part of the reproductive system in cis-women’s bodies. VULVA include clitoris thus carries pleasure inclusive meaning as to just the narrow reproduction centric one which ‘vagina’ carries.

ओलीलाई राष्ट्रवादीको पदबी दिनेहरु मध्ये कतिपय नागरिक अगुवाहरू पनि छन। ओली कहिले क्रान्तिकारी, परिवर्तनकारी थिएन, छैन र हुनेछैन । जसले उसमा क्रान्ति देखे आज पछुतो मान्दै छन। देशको मुल समस्या नश्लवाद, जातिवाद, मर्दवादमा छ र यसको पक्षपोषण आजका नागरिक अगुवाहरू पनि पक्कै छन।
