I think it might be the clinical word vagina vs wee wee, but vajayjay still would be weird in this context. Honestly, dont show strangers your kids genitals.
Yes, all genitals seem weird to show people. I don’t even show them to my parents. I tried not to take them at all, and instead tried to take a few with angles that obscured any private areas. I think my parents have seen a couple of those, but I don’t even send them.
Perhaps the comic is from the mindset 40 years ago. I could easily see parents of that era doing this and thinking it was fine.
I think it’s more that adults sexualizing children wasn’t considered a frequent risk, people didn’t think anyone they knew would look at babies that way. Gen X parents really shifted a lot in terms of culture in the US, under their generation child sexual abuse cases have dropped significantly, and that’s adjusting to unreported numbers.
I can’t say world wide, but in the U.S., home photography was not new 30-40 years ago. I was a kid 30 year ago and I had real camera and various disposable ones over time. Maybe home videography was becoming more common 30-40 years ago, but photography had been around.

At first I thought you were talking about your own genitals. It really confused me when you wrote about not taking them. Or only at angles.
I was like, was there a choice? Could I have chosen to have no genitals? Or ones with different angles?
I was wondering why you are showing your nudes to your parents and then I realized you are talking about your own kids
🤣🤣 I honestly did the same
I think home photography was still pretty new 30-40 years ago, might be why some families were weirdly oversharing with baby photos? Idk.

Yeah, home photography wasn’t new in the 90s, it’d been worked on for a bit.

Also back then you didn’t have photo previews plus limited number of photos
It probably differs more across cultures. There are even cultures where public virginity tests are acceptable.
