I guess I see what you mean, but on the flip side I've never heard anyone, women included, refer to it as the vulva. Sometimes the most correct word just doesn't have much popular usage.
In any case, I find it really jarring when, for example, I read some woman talking about, "shaving her vagina". I find myself visualising what sort of razor you'd need to do that, and wondering what sort of hairy mutant she must be if she has hair growing up there.
IIN to be annoyed when people use ''sperm'' and ''semen'' interchangeably

You're right, of course, but it irks me far less than people who call women's genitals their "vagina".
That's like calling someone's face their mouth.

I once used the word "vulva" on this site, and another user said "congrats" on using that word.

From what I've read, there are a lot of women who find the word "vulva" unappealing just because of how it sounds.
I don't get that. For me, the word sounds like the name for something smooth and rounded, and that seems appropriate, but I guess that's just me.

More like calling someone's lips their mouth

Maybe.

Okay, in a case like that, I cringe a little, because I get the thought of someone taking a razor to their actual vagina.
