The “Vagina Monologues” was once a yearly tradition at Mount Holyoke College, an all-women’s school in Massachusetts. But not this year.
The reason? Apparently the show is no longer feminist enough and actually hurts women because it doesn’t 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 school’s 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.”

the hegelian dialectic just keeps on rolling. never stops.
not sure if one of these gals could get expelled in they do the “trans” thing into a male before they graduate. Isn’t “all-female” a bit orthodox and discrimanatory?
These womyn have so much sand in their vaginas, they could be making pearls.
Tom Arnold reports that he saw The Vagina Monologues and was disappointed. He expected to see ventriloquism.
LOL! Good one, RC.
Rich people.
One of my cousins from the "smart investors" side of the family has a degree in history from Marquette, a psycho-liberal Jesuit university. She learned a lot of history stuff and good composition skills.
I don't remember which cousin this is ... not the one who went to North Texas State ... but she has a good job at something, a husband and child or two. (There are three daughters in that family, and four grandchildren, so one has two, but I can't remember which.)
Maybe she never saw "The Vagina Monologues," even though it was performed at Marquette. Most students don't go to this crap. They'd rather watch tv in their dorms and get some homework done.
The Vagina Monologues...why does Rosie O’Donnell come to mind?
And here I thought the reason would be a rampant yeast infection!
Sheesh.
She had an addadicktome.
“inherently reductionist” If I ever own a race horse, this is a potential name. “Inherently reductionist wins the Kentucky Derby!” A boy can dream. :-)
Maybe they got tired of playing to an empty theater.
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Aww they’re all wet anyway.
“Serious question; if a male has ‘sex reassignment’ surgery and becomes a lesbian does that make it gay?”
Only if he has all his chromosomes switched to XX. Otherwise he’s just another mutilated man.
Speechless
I’ve actually encountered these (God help us for the feds making LBGTA report cards a deciding factor with defense contractors).
There are transgendered “guys” who say “I’m a woman now, but I still like women”, so the answer is now “she still like women, just made the body match”.
This is why I will never tolerate a “transgendered” male in a bathroom or changing room. He is often still a he (if pre-op), and not only capable of sexual assault but the inclination to have sex with women as well.
Someone who had the body parts actually removed I can tolerate. That’s a mental illness that was immorally treated by mutilating the body to meet the sick mind, but there’s less threat to a woman from such a freak.
