Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's really worrying how the notion of an 'ideal standard' for the appearance of the vulva has impacted the self-image of so many women, to the point of generating such deep anguish. As you rightly pointed out, diversity is not only the norm, but should also be celebrated as something beautiful and unique - just as it is with faces or other body features.

The pressure to fit into unrealistic aesthetic standards is a reflection of how far our society still needs to go in combating harmful social constructs. Her observation reinforces the importance of educating and empowering people, both women and men, so that we can build a healthier and more inclusive view of the human body.
