Before calling someone else a "pussy," Trevor Noah wants people to understand how strong a vagina actually is.

Trevor Noah doesn't understand how calling another person a "pussy" has become synonymous with saying that he or she is weak. So much so that Noah took out a portion of his latest stand-up special on Netflix, Afraid of the Dark, to point out that vaginas are anything but. "Have you ever come across a pussy?" he asked. "You realize vaginas can start revolutions and end wars."

The Daily Show host maintains that vaginas are "frighteningly powerful," and provides a number of reasons why we should reassess our thinking. "You realize, even on a physical level, the vagina is one of the strongest things that have ever existed," he said. "Virtually indestructible...The vagina is frighteningly powerful. You realize that human beings come out of a vagina. Human beings come out and still it continues to work as intended. Do you understand how impressive that is? A human being comes out of the vagina. And still, it continues to operate, it continues to work, after a human has just come out. You’re saying it’s weak?" 

If people, especially guys, are searching for an alternative word to call another person when someone is being weak, maybe they should look at their own anatomy. “You just sit on a penis wrong and it breaks," Noah said. "'Don’t be a penis,' that should be the phrase. I wish I was a pussy."

After retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel Ralph Peters called former President Barack Obama a "total pussy" in an interview with Fox Business in 2015, Noah echoed some of the same sentiments as his stand-up special, calling vaginas “powerful” and “indestructible.”
