Throughout history, the female body has been viewed as an imperfect version of the male. This view led anatomists to regard the vagina as the ‘internal penis’; the labia as the foreskin, the uterus as the scrotum, and the ovaries as the testicles. This perspective was legitimized due to the sexist idea of the physical imperfection of women - a belief that can be traced back to the eighteenth century. References to AFAB genitalia encompassed a range of words: purse, tinder box, petticoat lane, and more due to the innate taboo of female genitalia. Contemporary society has improved when it comes to referring to a vulva by its correct anatomical terminology, but there is still a need for better education. The vulva has always been an object of euphemistic discourse, and it still possesses many names but simultaneously no name. The indirect discussion and biased beliefs that surround the vulva have led to an idealized aesthetic for AFAB genitalia: hairless with a symmetrical ‘clean slit’, and no protruding labia minora or clitoris. This beauty standard for people with vulvas creates an unrealistic ideal that causes many people to have low self-esteem and sometimes turn to cosmetic surgery - an occurrence that can be traced through history. Yet, why has this beauty standard persisted, and how has it progressed throughout time? This presentation aims to answer such questions and proposes ways to change normative standards by deconstructing the ideals that have continued through history. It will explore and educate individuals on the speech that has revolved around the vulva by analyzing examples from primary source materials from the 18th century to the present. Through actively challenging the beauty standards assigned to AFAB genitalia throughout time, audiences will come to see that there is no such thing as the ‘perfect vulva’.
