Second-Grade Sex Ed(ible) Attempt By Feminist Mom (Yes, Those Are Vagina Cookies She Brought In)
Yes, I'm all for being comfortable with our sexuality -- but maybe we can wait a few years beyond second grade to "celebrate the vagina"?
Also, I call it the "vagina" because that's what people call it (and that's how I write) -- but if she really wanted to "celebrate" it, she'd call the "vulva."
AmericanNews.com's Charles Roberts, a parent ("Autumn" -- not her real name) volunteered to bake cookies for the weekly snack the teacher uses to reward students' good behavior:
When Autumn delivered the cookies, she told the teacher to use them as an opportunity to teach her students about vaginas. What do cookies have to do with vaginas? Our teacher was about to find out. Here's what happened next."Baffled and completely caught off guard I slowly peel the aluminum foil off the pan to behold a plethora of sugar cookie and frosting vaginas," the teacher writes. "Not just any old vagina, but ALL KINDS OF VAGINAS. There were small, puffy, white, brown, shaved, bald, and even a fire crotch with beef curtains. Perplexed, I give the parent the most professional look I can muster and quietly reply 'I'm sorry Autumn, but I can't give these to my students. This just isn't appropriate.'"
That's when things got ugly.
Autumn snapped back and said the teacher "should be proud of [her] vagina," and accused her of "settling for woman's role in life." Mind you, all of this happened in front of the students.
The teacher says she had no choice but to "stand and stare at the woman as the word 'vagina' is yelled in front of my second grade class about 987,000 times. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, she storms out of the class leaving her vagina cookies on my desk."
Later that night, the teacher received a scathing email from Autumn. In it, Autumns says the teacher is "closed minded" and "settled for less when you became a teacher because that is known for a women's job." She says that women need to stand together and "inform people about the vagina and how to please it." She closes the email by saying "I hope you end up with an abusive husband that beats on you every night."
Lovely.
P.S. What's wrong with a (sic) "women's job"?
A few of the bits from the mom's message to the teacher:
"We as women should stand together and inform people about the vagina and how to please it."
As somebody said on Reddit -- "To 2nd graders?"
A response:
Yeah, everyone's debating "true feminism" and I'm sitting here thinking about how much easier life would have been if I had learned the secrets of pleasuring a woman at age 8.
Another:
"He's performing cunnilingus at a highschool level!"

Now if a guy had done this he would have been arrested for pedophilia and it would have been called grooming behavior
Just close you eyes and imagine a 40 year old man with a tray of penis cookies, yelling in a room full of 6-7 years old about how they need to learn how to pleasure cock
He wouldnt have made it to his car before being shuffled off to jail

I thought of that, too, luj.

So did I. Lujlp beat me to it.

So, imagine your child is in that class. He or she comes home and asks (because maybe you haven't used the anatomically correct words) what a vagina is. How do you, as a parent, feel?
Or maybe you kid knows, and just tells you "Zoe's mom brought cookies this week, but we didn't get to eat them. She yelled at Ms. Jones about vaginas when she brought them." Does this, as a parent, make you want to shield your child from Zoe and her parents? Does this make you want to, I dunno, beat the snot out of them for assuming they get to decide when/how your child will learn about sex topics? And by shouting at the teacher, they have maybe made an issue out of something that wouldn't have been?
And NOW, what about the parents of girls. Their kids have just been told that its WRONG for girls to take "girl jobs," but does that mean girls have to be boys?
Trust me, 2nd graders will take that conversation and go about 200 different (some unexpected) directions from there. I would NOT want to have to do clean up from THAT disaster.

That woman is mentally ill. Her poor daughter. Vagina cookies (or ANY genital cookies) have no appropriate use outside of a bachelor/ette party or concession stand at The Vagina Monologues. No sane person would take them to a bake sale, or the office potluck, or the neighborhood BBQ-much LESS to an elementary school. I hope someone there called CPS to check in on her mental ability to raise a kid.
The "girls things" are worth less than "boy things" always drove me batty. I kind of get where the companies who make science type toys for girls are coming from, but...doesn't that infer that to be better, you need to be male-like? There's nothing inherently better about "male" type interests. I'm a nurse. I make damn good money. I save peoples lives-and that's not hyperbole. I've seen entire codes run without a Dr even there. Nursing is also a stereotypically female career. So what? I'm not "less than" because of that.

It is stories like this that remind me that there are not enough cluex4's in the world.
Not. Nearly. Enough. I weep for the Republic. Sweet Meteor of Death, you're our only hope!

How old is this? I feel
Like I heard this story a couple years ago

"fire crotch with beef curtains"
I'm still laughing about this.
But yeah, that lady is batshit insane. Her poor kid.

I think this calls for a school field trip...wut? whaddya mean I'm "mansplaining"?
I R A Darth Aggie at April 6, 2016 8:01 AM
My hand still hurts from slapping my head. This is fallout from third wave, "cookie positive " feminism now baking it's way across the academic landscape. Somehow Japan survives having giant penises paraded around once a year. That says, "Hail to the Penis" and I support that completely.

"How old is this? "
Following the links back to the Reddit posting indicate it's over a year old, quick search shows it turning up around September 2014.
One of the other postings indicate the baker's child was removed and is now in private school and the baker is barred from the school campus. Also that the cookies tasted good.

momof4,
"The "girls things" are worth less than "boy things" always drove me batty. I kind of get where the companies who make science type toys for girls are coming from, but...doesn't that infer that to be better, you need to be male-like?"
Ah, the androcentrism and misogyny of feminism! You are exactly right.
"There's nothing inherently better about "male" type interests. I'm a nurse. I make damn good money. I save peoples lives-and that's not hyperbole."
Not only is that not hyperbole and not only is that a valid point, but the really question is, just what are male a female interest anyway. I get that the distribution of people in various areas is going to be uneven and some will skew male and some female - for instance even one day teaching kindergarten would have my brains running out my ears - but the majority of these areas, the common ground, appeals to everybody and the preferences are individual. What possible value is there to keeping someone away from a line of work they love and have a talent for just because it has some bullshit blue or pink tag on it?
Jim at April 6, 2016 10:38 AM
This woman is insane. Insisting that 2nd graders need to be taught to please the vagina is the sign of a deranged mind who doesn't understand limits of propriety.
I wonder how many of those kids went home and told their parents about the made cookie lady.
In her e-mail, the parent (Autumn) says she will never participate in Fridays again "due to the lack of disrespect" she was shown. Hmm. Lack of disrespect = respect. So, not only is she insane, she's ignorant.
Conan the Grammarian at April 6, 2016 1:23 PM
That's mad cookie lady, although she might have made her bones in the mob.
Conan the Grammarian at April 6, 2016 1:24 PM
Mob? that would be you have a nice school here, be a terribull, terribull shame if something happened to it.
Oh...you meant twatter rage mob. My mistake.
I R A Darth Aggie at April 6, 2016 2:56 PM
This parent should apply for a job with the Girl Scouts. She would fit right in.
Lastango at April 6, 2016 3:21 PM
There are a lot of choice bits to overanalyse in this story, but what really stuck out to me was the "women's work" comment. Now I don't know what sort of career this mother has (or if the story is even real), but her comment suggests to me that she's vicariously applying her feminist ideals, such as they are, to the hapless teacher. Is she a frustrated career woman jealous of the teacher's more fulfilling job? Is she a housewife jealous of having a job to begin with? Who knows, but I think the attack on teaching as "women's work => haram" is interesting....
AliRadicali at April 6, 2016 4:36 PM
Gog: "Also that the cookies tasted good."
When someone behaves the way this lady is described as behaving I would probably not eat something she brought to me.
Ken R at April 6, 2016 5:34 PM
Yep, I too thought of what if a man did this about dick-shaped cookies.
And, then I also read what Ken R. said. Ewww! What did she put into those cookies beside the usual baking stuff?
The school should have called the cops on that lady - and child services should be checking her out!
charles at April 6, 2016 6:48 PM
I can't stop laughing at the descriptions of the cookies!
crella at April 7, 2016 1:31 AM
It was a riff on the fact that I mis-typed "made cookie lady" instead of "mad cookie lady." Haven't you seen Goodfellas and the whole thing about being a "made" guy in the mob?
Conan the Grammarian at April 7, 2016 7:00 AM
Good for you, Momof4! I'm a nurse too, and have NEVER felt that what I do is "less" because, typically, more women than men do it. I'd rather be a nurse than an engineer just because, oh, I guess I LIKE nursing BETTER.
JP at April 7, 2016 7:19 AM
"No sane person would take them to a bake sale."
Of course. But we're talking about a feminist...
Jay R at April 7, 2016 12:57 PM
Speaking as a former second grade boy, we would have enjoyed having vagina cookies. I'm sure we would have all talked about them to no end. Maybe I'll even make some vagina cookies for my next poker night.
