Political Blog Goes With 'Vagina' Headline
Political Wire’s Taegan Goddard, also a contributing writer for The Week, went with the eye-popping “vagina” headline this morning.
The headline: “Lawmaker Uses Vagina as Synonym for Woman.”
The brief post concerns a state lawmaker who used the word interchangeably for “woman” in an email to colleagues.
Asked if he had any hesitation about using the word “vagina” in a headline, Goddard told FishbowlDC…nothing! He never replied to the question. However, a Washington editor, when told he or she was being asked a serious question about vagina headlines, replied, “There are no serious questions about vaginas! Unless it’s ‘Do you have cancer in the vagina?’ The editor added, “I would try to avoid it in headline.”
