If you set your Google SafeSearch filter on "strict filtering" and search for clitoris, you get zero returns.
But if you try a Google SafeSearch "strict filtering" search for penis, you get...
33,000,000 returns.
That's because "clitoris" is on Google's list of naughty words which are never, ever "safe."

You would think that even if it wasn't considered a "naughty word," then they would include it due to all the "enlarge your penis" crap that no one, let alone a child, should be subjected to. Even if they have a sexist mindset, you'd think that common sense MIGHT be present in someone over there.
Googlearchy :)
I wonder what other words google favors.
