Here's the reason this all-women's college cancelled its yearly 'Vagina Monologues'

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.”

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.

Perversion falls victim to greater perversion.

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.

It’s OK. I’ll just write ‘em up a chapter entitled “My Vagina Is A Penis” and we’ll be good to go.

Looks like they're gonna have to rename the Enola Gay the Enola LGBTQ. I'd photoshop it but my skills are weak.

For those keeping track, Mount Holyoke — again, an all-women's college — recently expanded its admissions policy to accept applications from transgender student

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.

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?
