I bet you’re worried. I was worried. That’s why I began this piece. I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried that we don’t think about them.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker admits shared anxiety and says it prompted the piece: worry about how vaginas are regarded, and deeper worry that they are hardly considered at all. The remark moves from personal unease toward a wider point that neglect and silence about the body are themselves a problem.
