Although there is no scientific proof of a breakable membrane in the vagina, virginity controls are causing great suffering to women worldwide, and hymen (re) constructions are carried out in many countries. The hymen is called modomshinna 'virginity membrane' in Swedish, which can reinforce the idea of a breakable membrane. In their work against female sexual oppression the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education launched a new term, vaginal corona. The aim of our study is to evaluate this initiative. By conducting a survey directed at youths and health professionals at youth clinics in Stockholm, we were able to show that knowledge of the new word had spread and that changes in the oppressive cultural beliefs connected to virginity and female sexuality in part can be connected to the word. The study thus supports the claim that initiatives aimed at changing vocabulary can be effective in changing cultural concepts. Feminist language activism initiatives are thus usable as part of feminist political work to promote women’s sexual rights and gender equality.

“有个东西在性行为过程延伸”：更换字处女膜与阴道电晕挑战对贞操的看法重男轻女

虽然没有科学证据表明阴道内有易破的膜，但处女控制正在给全世界的女性带来巨大的痛苦，许多国家都在进行处女膜（再）构建。处女膜在瑞典语中被称为 modomshinna '处女膜'，可以强化易碎膜的概念。在他们反对女性性压迫的工作中，瑞典性教育协会推出了一个新术语，阴道电晕。我们研究的目的是评估这一举措。通过对斯德哥尔摩青年诊所的青年和卫生专业人员进行的一项调查，我们能够表明新词的知识已经传播，与童贞和女性性行为相关的压迫性文化信仰的变化部分可能与单词。因此，该研究支持这样一种说法，即旨在改变词汇的举措可以有效地改变文化概念。因此，女权主义语言激进主义倡议可用作女权主义政治工作的一部分，以促进妇女的性权利和性别平等。
