Vaginamania comes to OSU [Warning: not for the easily disgusted]

Our decaying institutions of higher learning offer this as an exercise in 'consciousness raising'. For those not familiar, what it is really is a traveling lesbian revival, looking to win converts to the 'faith'.

[Illbay]

I've often suspected that the feminist obsession with rape has a lot to do with the typical "homely" feminist not getting any.

So they obsess about their fantasies.

[irish guard]

The thing that disgusts me most is that women generally think this is kinda cute. There is a skit/segment in the monologues where a woman describes how wonderful her first experience with oral sex was, when she was 14 years old. Turns out the oral sex was with a woman up the street who was an adult...late 20s early 30s. That type of pedophelia is funny, while all the vile stuff going on in the Catholic Church is not?

Sorry, but sex with minors is nothing to make light of....

[irish guard]

Oops, sorry, ther version i heard about said the girl was 14...still doesn't matter, sex with a minor is sex with a minor...

On a lighter note....what a joke all this is! Women take all this so seriously....What if men came up with something similar....say

The Dick Dialogues......

We men are pretty much focused on our "thingy" anyway and no one would pay any attention to it. But, use the "C" word and have it be about liberated female feelings and my oh my how things are different. Flames anyone???

[Semper Paratus]

Coming next, audience particiption in "ENEMANIA".

This is coming to may campus in a couple of weeks and it is disgusting. I am trying to figure out if they are using student funds for it and if they are I am going to raise holy hell. This coming to my school is such an embaressment.

[PLK]

It's amazing that this sensible piece was allowed to be published in a campus newspaper. Most U.S. college campuses are totally intolerant to anything that does not meet their P.C./liberal/socialist speech restrictions. Go O.S.U.!

[randog]

As it is with most arts, the lack of talent and originality leaves the "artist" with nothing more to work with than vulgarity and shock.

[helmsman]

In all honesty, Antoninus, when I first heard of the "Vagina Monologues," I thought it was probably a puppet show having to do with talking vaginas. I have since been better informed. Now, my question is, will the sequel feature other orifices? Please don't share this...

[Redcloak]

OSU. That's a public school, isn't it?

Your tax dollars at work.

[UCANSEE2]

As it is with most arts, the lack of talent and originality leaves the "artist" with nothing more to work with than vulgarity and shock.

Which is where we get a lot of "B" movies !

[Entropy Squared]

The point of a women participating in the V. Monologues is to show her devotion to feminism. By appearing in the program women make the political statement that they will sacrifice anything to feminism, even their class and dignity. Which they do.

[UCANSEE2]

How to tell your culture is going downhill?

When the "B" movies become the "A" movies.

[Slyfox]

What is the difference between the Vagina Monolgues and Clinton's talking penis?

And, why must we have either one of them forced down our throats?

[randog]

And rap music.

[Antoninus]

This is the OSU conservative newspaper. What do you want to bet that large numbers of copies mysteriously 'disappeared'?

[Antoninus]

I am going to raise holy hell.

Want to cause a royal ruckus? Contact the alumni organization or post it on alumni message boards... This works especially well if it's a Catholic/Christian college.

No flames here. These women take themselves entirely too seriously. They now resort to shock value to get their big, serious message across. In contrast, men look at life much more lightly. Take this song for example:

A Letter To My Penis - Rodney Carrington
(simple guitar tune wi' twangy country/western vocals)

Dear penis
I don't think I like you anymore
you used to watch me shave
now all you do is stare at the floor
oh dear penis
I don't like you anymore

it used to be you and me
a paper towel and a dirty magazine
that's all we needed to get by
now it seems things have changed
and I think that you're the one to blame
dear penis
I don't like you anymore

(the penis sings)

Dear Rodney
I don't think I like you anymore
cause when you get to drinking
you put me places I've never been before
dear Rodney
I don't like you anymore

(Rodney sings:)

why can't we just get a grip
on our man to hand relationship
come to terms with truly how we feel
if we put our heads together
we'd just stay home forever
dear penis
I think I like you after all

(the penis sings:) oh and Rodney
while you're shaving
shave my b@!!s

If the Moderator want to zap this one, fine by me. Nothing here more offensive than the original article, IMHO. Just an off-color JOKE (as opposed to a twisted crusade for some sort of "social awareness").

It's talken to ya, daddy!
