The Women Who Bite Back: Inside the Legend of Vagina Dentata
Season 2 Episode 92
For centuries, the legend of Vagina Dentata—the “toothed vagina”—has terrified and fascinated cultures around the world. Tales of flesh-shredding femmes fatales and man-eating wombs aren’t just scary stories—they reveal deep truths about power, sexuality, fear, and control.
In this episode of The StickyBeak, we dive into the origins of Vagina Dentata, from ancient myths and cautionary folklore to its enduring presence in modern pop culture. Discover how this chilling legend has been used as both a warning and a metaphor, and uncover the hidden messages behind the myth.
Whether you’re a fan of folklore, feminist myth analysis, or just love a story with bite, this episode will leave you thinking—and maybe laughing—about the stories we tell about sex, power, and fear.
