Parents should stop using euphemisms like 'front bottom', 'bits', 'flower', 'tuppence', and 'fairy' with their daughters, gynaecological charity urges

This is a curious turnabout.  Most political correctness consists of using euphemisms -- short people are "vertically challenged", for instance -- but here we are urged to STOP using euphemisms.  You can't win with Leftists.  Whatever exists is wrong

Eve Appeal, a UK-based gynaecological charity, believes that girls need to use the right words about their bodies 'from the start'.

It said opening up conversations across generations about women's health 'gives women the best chance of living healthy lives'.

Eve Appeal's comments comes as data found 44 per cent of parents regularly use such euphemisms instead of the correct terms.

A fifth (19 per cent) claimed they frequently say 'vagina' in front of their daughters, while only one per cent often use the word 'vulva'.

The vulva is the external part of female genitalia, which includes the labia, clitoris and both outer and inner 'lips'.

Little more than a fifth (22 per cent) of parents said they never refer to female body parts in front of their daughter.

The survey also found almost a third felt it was only appropriate to use anatomical language when their daughters were aged 11 or older.

I do not think that it makes any difference to the girls; they all know anyway.
This is "adults" trying to talk for children when the children do not need their help.
