Can I say the word vagina?

After all, I am a man, so shouldn't I be able to say it in Michigan? I don't have a vagina, never will but every woman I've ever known has a vagina, at least I think they do. And I suppose every woman I've never known or never will also has a vagina.
That character up in Michigan doesn't have a vagina, so he should stop worrying about a woman, who has a vagina, saying the word "vagina." And while he's at it, maybe he can stick his anti woman bias up his...ah never mind. Don't want to sound like a dick.

It's all about context, so I'd say it's fine if she uses the word vagina, because that's what it's called. But check out this article about the testimony involving the c-word and the raping of a female college student by a football player. I won't post any of the article here because it actually uses the c-word--which, the article points out is the most vile word in the English language--that is, in some contexts.

Note, this lady is no longer president of the college--she was replaced by a true Republican dick.
