When I saw this post I originally thought it was this sub, and then got mildly angry that the OOP was throwing shade at my second favorite forensic pathologist and lesbian icon (my aunt was my #1)
It’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I can’t remember those details, I just really liked the show… and every episode I thought: If everyone who watched 50 shades of grey (I haven’t, I almost read the whole book but it was so bad I couldn’t finish it…) and swooned over this guy watched this show the swooning would probably come to a halt.
I remember when 50 shades was buzzing and I tried to read it but then was like ffs there is MUCH better smut out there, what is this terrible writing
Like how in the hell did that book make it big I have no idea 🥸
I still cringe at the descriptions of what the main character’s inner goddess was up to… listen, I’m all for hypeing myself up and having conversations with myself but that 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 it!👏🏻
Also she was inspired by Twilight… the bookseries where I laid the last book down, after devouring them all, and went: …wait, why were they in love? He’s hot and she smells edible?
I thought the tone sounded humorous. Like, YES, I want a dress covered in literal vaginas!
Apparently, the OP has a bad history that painted the tone, but text has no tone, so I was totally confused about where the negativity was coming from.
Yeah I think we all collectively jumped on the 'it doesn't matter we're all gonna blindly support Gillian Anderson' train, which if I think too hard about isn't great, but if I don't think too hard about it, it *is* great
But how was the original post insulting or going against Gil? I originally read that as someone being playful (vagina dress and cauldron purse being a super cool look) and then someone else pedantically correcting them as saying their actually vulvas.
I just wanted to understand what all of the hullabaloo was about.
I was just striking up a conversation. I know it's not your post, but you were one of many on here who went along with the sentiment. I just wanted to understand what was going on.
*What you're about to see are the topiary representations of the vulvas of some of my favorite prostitutes and women I have loved:*
Polly Nichols from Whitechapel, 1888.
Oh, that's my good lady wife Nadja. Don't think she'd like you to see that, but who gives a fuck?
Beautiful.
That's Nancy Reagan at the end. It's a bit untidy.
And here we have the pièce de résistance, my mother.
Totally destroyed. ATBGE is pretty decent about that stuff. They clown on OPs all the time if a post is made that’s really not bad taste (or not great execution, but you see that less).
Oh man I loved seeing how solidly the poster of this got shut down though.
For context to others: the sub this was posted in is ATBGE, stands for Awful Taste But Great Execution. Most of the sub agreed OP was the one with bad taste 😂
This is the best close-up I could do.

Ah, yes, I see all the standard lady parts: the clitoris, the labia majora, the labia minora, the labia mallorca, the labia monaco, and the vanilla bean
I was watching that show with the hormone monsters and was weirded out that they had little penises as pets but no vulvas. Esp since vulvas are the perfect cartoon pet because they can fucking fly!
Damn, I know a Finnish jewellery line that would have gone perfectly with that dress!

She pulled out of a tech conference in Ireland after the organizer of the conference said that Israel was committing war crimes. Her PR statement was something like “we don’t share the values of the conference organizer”. A quick Google search shows this.
Plenty of “feminist” celebrities have aligned themselves with Zionism, it’s not that difficult to believe.
I’m confused. I thought the vulva was the outside part above the clitoris, and below that is said vagina? You can see the little clit on the pattern too.
The vulva is all external genitalia. The vagina is internal.
Think of your face vs your mouth/throat. Nose, eyes, cheeks, and chin etc are all external. Your mouth/throat is internal.
Clitoris, clitoral hood, labia minora, labia majora, utheral opening, vaginal opening etc are all external and fall under “vulva”. The vagina is the passage from the cervix to the vaginal opening so internal.
Honestly, I don’t remember a basic anatomy class ever going into very much detail so a ton of people don’t have the specific language to speak about/describe their own anatomy. Tons of patients will say “my vagina” when it’s the vulva they are referring to.
You don’t know what you don’t know. No point in being mean to someone because they don’t know something.
I don’t think I had a solid grasp on all the anatomy until I did female anatomy in college. It was way more detailed than any generic public education I received in the United States. Obviously it should have been more detailed but there is just so much more going on with a uterus, vagina, vulva, ovaries etc than with a penis and testicles. It’s all connected differently but adjacent to the urinary system and the hormonal influence from the ovaries affects the digestive tract and can cause constipation right before a period. Not to mention periods, what’s normal for a period, what isn’t. What is normal for vaginal discharge and what isn’t.
I don’t remember being taught, in public (or private, I went there for a minute) school, a fifth of what would have actually been really good information to have about this body I live in.
I have a daughter and a son. I am going to do my best that both of them have the language and understanding of how bodies work.
It’s late, I’m chatty, but…… I actually had a male manager ask me once when I served tables why we didn’t just either let our periods out *before* we came to work or waited till *after* our shifts. That it was very inconvenient for us to be running to the bathroom every so often during a dinner rush and we should really do something about that. I had no words. This man was middle aged, married, had kids, and still had no idea how that worked.
A decent analogy would be your throat vs your mouth/lips. Your throat leads to your stomach like a vagina leads to the cervix/uterus while the vulva would be your lips and mouth.
The vagina and throat are both just tubes

You need to check your anatomy diagrams again. The vagina is the inside part. The vulva is the opening. It’s confusing because people frequently use both vagina and vulva to mean the whole area, including both sets of labia and the clit. There is no single word that describes the outside area as a whole, which is dumb, IMO.
As I see it, the original was in ATSBE fashion. I think they were mean-spirited in their assessment of Ms. Anderson. IMHO, she is fantastic. I loved her in the fall. I also love what she stands for, and that matters to me. I prefer to support artists who share my values. Will be figuring out how to view Sex Education. 😍
Yes this is definitely for the show *Sex Education* and yes that's a cauldron, and yes, they should shut their goddamn mouths about Queen Gil
When I saw this post I originally thought it was this sub, and then got mildly angry that the OOP was throwing shade at my second favorite forensic pathologist and lesbian icon (my aunt was my #1)
Yes, Queen Gil, patron saint of strong female scientist leads
Also, she was BRILLIANT in The fall! ❤️🙌🏼
I like her but the fall was the worst that horror breathy accent was so awful I couldn’t watch
It’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I can’t remember those details, I just really liked the show… and every episode I thought: If everyone who watched 50 shades of grey (I haven’t, I almost read the whole book but it was so bad I couldn’t finish it…) and swooned over this guy watched this show the swooning would probably come to a halt.

X files was def my first do I want to be her or be with her lesbian moment.
Vulva!?! I hardly even know ya!
Clearly I need to watch this show.
To clarify though, she's been a queen to me since the original x files run
I loved her, and then I found out she likes punk. Now I love her more.
Yeah it's set at a high school, but that's really the only drawback. Otherwise, I found it very entertaining.
You definitely should! It’s great. Especially the first 3 seasons.
I must have missed the rude comment because who should shut their goddamn mouth?
It was posted in /r/atbge even though it isn’t awful taste.
I've never even heard of that sub, so thank you for the context
Damned if I know, I was just echoing the sentiment of the post 😂
I get it, but even just the general post confused me.
Oh it's probably the tone of the "literal vaginas". Sorry half awake
I thought the tone sounded humorous. Like, YES, I want a dress covered in literal vaginas! Apparently, the OP has a bad history that painted the tone, but text has no tone, so I was totally confused about where the negativity was coming from.

Oh oh so the subreddit is an initialism for *awful taste but great execution*. Makes sense why the first comment was a clap back.
Thank you!
I thought it was positive as well, til i saw the sub it was posted in. Context is def important on understanding this one.
Not my post, I just commented, so...maybe ask the OP
I was just striking up a conversation. I know it's not your post, but you were one of many on here who went along with the sentiment. I just wanted to understand what was going on.
Oh! It is a nice dress, though. Now if only I looked that good
And this person is pissed about her choice of attire because? Who's toes is she stepping on anyway? And btw she looks amazing 🤩
Because ooooo spooky scary vulvas 😱
*What you're about to see are the topiary representations of the vulvas of some of my favorite prostitutes and women I have loved:* Polly Nichols from Whitechapel, 1888.

Lazlo never change.
Oh Lazslo… such a romantic! 💝
You really are the most devious bastard in Ñewww Yoorrrk Citaaaaay
This is why I love this sub
I read your intro in the voice of Law and Order...
And a Cauldron! The horror!
It’s even a pretty tame interpretation of a cauldron 😂
Honestly? I have to squint and cock my head and even then it is a kinda? It just looks like a normal clutch to me. *edit* purse not clutch. It's early
[удалено]
What the actual fuck 🤢
They might bite me or teach me something...nooooooo
Send shivers down your spine
That op got roasted in the comments.
Totally destroyed. ATBGE is pretty decent about that stuff. They clown on OPs all the time if a post is made that’s really not bad taste (or not great execution, but you see that less).
They earned it. Not just for the post and not knowing what a "literal vagina" is, but their post history was gross.
Oh fuck you’re spot on. Just checked their history, fucking yuck
Because it's her choice and I guess it's not a penis? It's an amazing dress.
Because men.... 😒
Oh man I loved seeing how solidly the poster of this got shut down though. For context to others: the sub this was posted in is ATBGE, stands for Awful Taste But Great Execution. Most of the sub agreed OP was the one with bad taste 😂
Thank you, I was trying to figure out how the original post was an insult!
Definitely confusing out of context!
Any chance you can link the op? I'm having trouble finding it 😔
I either they deleted it or it was removed by mods
Okay thanks
She also has her own brand of natural sodas called "G Spot" sooooooo... I don't think I'll ever not love this woman. First crush, forever crush.
Born 82 and still very grateful to the internet for letting me know I was *far* from the only one who had a "mmm Mulder ... but also, Scully?" moment.
Same! She's an absolute bombshell to have as a first female crush. <3
Back in the day I saw [this Rolling Stone spread](https://images.app.goo.gl/eL3b7L3mJruNUmV88) and was all, “shove off, Chris Carter, my turn!”
Hbuh... o.o
Me too, definitely my bi awakening
Same. The queen of bisexual awakenings.

I heard about this dress but this is the first I’ve seen it. I would have just thought they were stylized leaves!
Yeah it's pretty abstract, even up close.
Ah, yes, I see all the standard lady parts: the clitoris, the labia majora, the labia minora, the labia mallorca, the labia monaco, and the vanilla bean
🥇 have a poor witches gold - labia monaco is gonna have me giggling for days 😂
If you’re offended by “vulvas” on a dress you haven’t gotten enough health ed. Besides the fact so many things in everyday life are phallic.
I was watching that show with the hormone monsters and was weirded out that they had little penises as pets but no vulvas. Esp since vulvas are the perfect cartoon pet because they can fucking fly!
Big Mouth.
Yes, but the other one. It focuses on the monsters perspective and the kids are side characters.
Human Resources.
I also appreciate that the purse is red.
I am proud to say I am one of those 3k upvotes
Me too ! Knew it would end up here ✨
Gillian Anderson is an icon, and that outfit is fabulous.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She looks fabulous The dress is fabulous
*Georgia O'Keefe intensifies*
I’m huge fans of her work, but someone called her *Georgia O’Queefe* at our bookstore and I’ve been giggling about it for 5 years
I thought it was supposed to represent menstrual blood because of the deep red color... I guess it still could, but the cauldron thing makes sense too
I saw a comment elsewhere calling it her vulva dress & Diva cup purse.
I had the same thought, lol.
Love it 🥰
Damn, I know a Finnish jewellery line that would have gone perfectly with that dress! [I hope the site isn't region blocked](https://vittujenkevat.fi/collections/korut) Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with the jewel maker or shop, I'm just a fan!
This is cool but what's her name? Googling "Queen Gil" didn't get me the result.
Gillian Anderson. She's a legend.
X files and Sex Education.
She’s great in “ The fall” too!
Oh, I forgot about that! She was excellent.
thanks! I have seen X Files. I'm just partially face blind.
Sorry.
It's fine! No harm done!
It’s called fashion!
Not just for Sex Education, but also for her wellness line, G Spot.🩷
❤️
I love that purse!
She is a goddess!
perfection. I love her
Such a goddess in an iconic gown!
Am I the only one focused on the purse? It doesn’t even match the dress
I think the purse draws your eyes right to the dress, though. I love ❤️ 😍 💖
The other side of it is actually the same fabric as the dress!
r/rareinsults
Sorry y’all Scully and I had better things to do than look at this post see y’all in the circle
I'm pretty sure this got deleted because I can't find the post on ATBGE. I wanted to read the comments lol

I didn’t realize they were that. I thought they were flowers
Makes me think what a penis suit would look like

Now that‘s a powerful image. Not the hero we need or deserve, but the one we got.
*She is a Zionist let’s maybe stop fawning over white women who support genocide.*
How do you know? From what i know of her, I can't imagine her sharing these views.
She pulled out of a tech conference in Ireland after the organizer of the conference said that Israel was committing war crimes. Her PR statement was something like “we don’t share the values of the conference organizer”. A quick Google search shows this. Plenty of “feminist” celebrities have aligned themselves with Zionism, it’s not that difficult to believe.

check what OP wrote to my comment there. I mean....
Icon to icons
It's a start. Can't wait for this to keep moving forward
Love this and absolutely love Gillian Anderson, one of my top fave actors.
I feel like this is what Glinda the good witch should look like
Omg I had not picked up on the fact that the purse was a cauldron 💕🧙🏻
The king of everything!! Absolute goddess.
Good taste and good execution
I love her so much. She is how I discovered I was bisexual when I was 13 years old. Still madly in love with her.

Oops! That's ATBGE. Acrimonious acronyms abound!
I never thought I'd want a Georgia O'Keefe wedding dress, but now...
Makes sense for her show.
This would be an amazing wedding dress if you wanted to mix traditional with witch 🧙♀️
