The Vagina Monologues was once a yearly tradition at Mount Holyoke College, an all-womens school in Massachusetts. But not this year.
The reason? Apparently the show is no longer feminist enough and actually hurts women because it doesnt include monologues from trans-women. Suddenly, the most feminist play in America is both transphobic and racist.
At its core, the show offers an extremely narrow perspective on what it means to be a woman, wrote Erin Murphy, a representative for the schools Theatre Board, said in a campus-wide email obtained by Campus Reform. Gender is a wide and varied experience, one that cannot simply be reduced to biological or anatomical distinctions, and many of us who have participated in the show have grown increasingly uncomfortable presenting material that is inherently reductionist and exclusive.

Hmm. There’s just no pleasing them.
Does this mean they won’t be doing it at the Jesuit colleges any more? It’s no longer much of a news item, so I’ve no idea whether that’s still going on or not.
I guess it’s been aborted. Pardon the pun.
What’s next that will suit these sexual abnormatives, “The It Itinerary?”
Perversion falls victim to greater perversion.
Who is still sending their kids to these places??
How about, “My Vagina was Removed”?
Isn’t this crazy play about life from the point of view of the vagina? An actual female vagina attached to a real biological female? As opposed to an artificial vagina found on a male who had a sex change operation???? Sheesh....
Never thought I would hear this play is canceled because it is not liberal enough or controversial enough as it is.....x
Do these people hear the words coming out of their mouths?
It seems in the academic world, you truly can make an alternate reality of your own - any reality you please.
Astonishing.
Next thing you know transexual, Nazi Eskimos will be complaining!
It’s OK. I’ll just write ‘em up a chapter entitled “My Vagina Is A Penis” and we’ll be good to go.
“Transphobic”
HOORAY. A new title to put on my business card.
Looks like they're gonna have to rename the Enola Gay the Enola LGBTQ. I'd photoshop it but my skills are weak.
Let's see, if I am a transgender male, can I apply at an all women college?
Seems like a can...
Truly they cannot understand normal thinking, every one of them at that school.
The freaks are coming out of the woodwork now...
No, “the freaks are coming out of the woodwork now”.
The freaks are the “woodwork” of liberal/leftist all-women colleges and most other leftist schools.
In the old days we used to call them “Red Termites” coming out of the woodwork. Today they are still “Red termites” but they have chosen to become part of the woodwork of society
Time to call TERMINIX and the ORKIN MAN, and John Goodman (in “Arachnaphobia” = “I’m Bad, I’m Bad”), or Will Smith in “Men In Blood” squashing cockroaches.
Serious question; if a male has ‘sex reassignment’ surgery and becomes a lesbian does that make it gay?
