Symbols represent ideas greater than the object itself, and can be used to bring people to a common cause. America has more symbols than most countries (our flag, the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, Lady Justice). These symbols are central components of our unity. Could another national symbol be a vulva with etiquette instructions like those used for the American flag? The word vulva is so rarely used that many Americans are not able to differentiate between vulva and vagina. Yet, Paleolithic statuettes with articulated vulva, small and easily carried, take no pains to hide their sexuality. "Red Flag" has the American flag pinned to a wall, upside down in distress, in the shape of a vulva. Text including "vulva education" and "female rights" is centered in the format, not in the margins. The vulva as source material means to lay bare our culture's faulty notions about women's anatomy and to raise the question: Do we know enough about women's bodies to control them through legislation?
