I wish the word "Vagina" was removed from the campaign.

I hate that. I am not a supporter of Clinton, but I find the use of that word offensive.

"I'm a woman but I don't vote based on my sex/gender" gets the point across in a much less offensive way.

Just my two cents.

At least people are using scientific terms rather than slang.

more than anyone.

You just like Hillary because you're voting with your Vagina.

So yeah, you have a point.

Even Sanders supporters are getting sick of it. The moderators had to make a couple of announcements on r/sandersforpresident. People are trying to underplay, but the Bernie Bros is real and they aren't helping Bernie.

Many young women support Sanders and could be posting such things. There are so many young women that they even needed to be scolded by Albright and Steinem.
