Vagina Symbols
With all the nicknames floating around for the vagina and the websites dedicated to hashing them out we have to wonder if all the seemingly playful banter is doing us any good. A lot of the words used to speak of our lady parts are, frankly, a bit nasty. Terms like "panty hamster" and "beaver" need to be retired
Lotus Flower
How lovely it must have been to constantly have your genitals compared to such a gorgeous piece of nature. The Chinese Han and Ming dynasties especially alluded to this symbol when speaking of the heavenly vaginathe term "golden lotus" was used often in poetry. Physically and biologically speaking, the lotus is a fragrant flower, pink and plump, that is known to beautifully blossom in spring, just when the time is right sounds about right, doesn't it?
Pomegranate
The name of this delightful fruit comes from a Latin word "granatis," which means seed of grain. Greeks referred to the pomegranate as a gift of love that is continually inviting, and it symbolizes fertility, abundance, and the arrival of spring. While it's often used in works of art to allude to the beauty and exuberance of the vagina, it specifically is meant to represent the ovary and ova cells.

Figs
Figs are the fruit mostly associated with the female sexual organ mainly because for the Greeks, figs were a symbol of fertility.

Overall, the likening of particular fruit to the vagina displays the ideology of the stereotypical patriarchal male. Although, the type of fruits has a lot to do with shape and in some cases colouring and texture, the type of fruits that tend to be compared to female genitalia are soft and can be bruised like the subordinate female.
