I learned something new today. Innovative.

I try to be gender neutral, so I covered my eyes during the diaper change ;-)

You’re worried about the difference between sex and gender and not concerned about the inability to distinguish between a vulva and a vagina?

People with experience changing boy-diapers know. That's why they make the PeePee TeePee.

Much of Portlandia is far too familiar in San Francisco and Berkeley (Dream of the 1890s might have well been set here).

Glad I’m not the only one who was annoyed by this.

I know! Any links for us up here behind the great firewall of Canuckistan?

When my friend had to have her uterus removed after years of painful fibroids (seriously, her uterus was trying to kill her) I bought her a handmade felt uterus. Etsy.com has all your uterus needs covered, always.

So, was it a boy? Girl?

Yes, but only with water and vinegar. (Feel free to also work that into the show, guys.)

I would think that the owners of a feminist bookstore would be sure to distinguish between sex and gender.

Argh! The video appears to be geoblocked.

“I don’t need a vagina pillow”
“Nobody does…”

amusingly enough, I live in Berkeley and saw some women with “uterus” pillows, so this definitely isn’t far from reality. and Portland residents have to get over it. every city with an identity and flavor get chided.

Maybe it’s from Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely?”

I think even Prince used that on a song from “1999.”

So if you fall asleep face down in your vagina pillow, do you wake up looking like you have a cleft palate?

I’m so pleased they ended with that particular two-syllable coo. That’s the Wilhelm Scream of happy baby noises from every diaper commercial, like, ever.

Also being from Portland, the easiest way I usually find to go about saying I’m from Portland is to say, man, it sure has changed since I lived there. But back on topic, that was pretty funny. I still mostly know Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney so I always do mental double-take to think that she is starring in a tv show I never watch.

I find this video intolerable because, being from Portland, I have to find a reason to point out that I’m from Portland. And acting upset at something is usually the easiest way to go about that. I’m from Portland.
