A queef is an expulsion of air from the vagina, most often experienced during sex. A vaginal fart if you will. Here's a Women's Health article to take you through it.

some of her paintings have a striking resemblance to female sexual anatomy (though she claimed that was never her intent).

You know, like 'douche bag'... A bag that used to be used to wash ones' vagina? Why is that an insult? Are the genitalia of females that repellent?

I'm just curious, why do men find female genitals so revolting?

Might want to have a think about that.

The term "queef" has nothing to do with the female genitalia itself but with a discharge of air. If someone doesn't like a fart are they insulting asses? I am sure if his name rhymed with another term that one would be used instead but this one happened to work for whomever coined it.

Maybe you can go comment on the thread where Chris Christie was called a "dick" earlier as that actually involved genitalia.

We on the left still have a long way to go when it comes to actually respecting women as much as we claim to... Using the term in a way that implies a female bodily function is degrading or an insult shouldn't be tolerated from those who claim to be progressive.

It does sound a little disgusting.

As to O'Keefe, he is REALLY disgusting.
