Daizey 0 #1 March 6, 2003 I was originally gonna post this in Women Only, but i changed my mind because really its good for anyone to see.... I saw the Vagina Monologues tonight performed here at my school. It was an excellent show! It was funny, serious, informative, and quite entertaining. Anyone else seen it? what did you think? The play was basically about somone who interviews all these women asking them questions about their vagina. The different monologues are definitely interesting as well as entertaining. Answere come form all ages-6 year old girls to 72 year old women i believe. Its really good.... A lot of the focus of it was violence and women in the world. A lot about women and empowerment against abuse, harrassment, and stuff of the sort. The talk a lot about vday. You will understand what vday is all about if you go see it...basically Vday is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. For more info, you can visit the vagina monologues website at.... http://www.vaginamonologues.com/index.html The play was reeeallly good, if you get the oppurtunity to go see it, go! You won't regret it. And its not just for women, Guys can go and enjoy it just as much.... Well, just thought i would share it with ya....anyone else seen it? If not you really should.... *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #2 March 6, 2003 I was kind of into it(no pun intended) at first and I liked the personal perspectives but some of it was just too hard to believe. Some of the skits were either made to be tounge in cheek or just pure entertainment in value. I think it really turned when she started to talk about the abuse and so on and for me was anticlimatic(no pun intended again). Then again, I don't have a Vagina so I can't really say I could relate to anything she said but I thought it was worth seeing at least once."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #3 March 6, 2003 I've heard about that one; haven't seen it. But after reading your review, if it's ever performed around here I'll definitely be there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splittail1 0 #4 March 6, 2003 I saw it a couple of months ago in San Francisco with my mother. It was awesome. It really opens the door to open discussion about the vagina and sets a tone in which women can feel really empowered about their body and sexuality. Sadly, it is too true that society has sort of forced women to feel uncomfortable about 'what's down there.' I've got a Bob! (insider joke for anybody whose seen it) Seriously though, the play just about talks about every aspect of female's sexuality and how different women feel about it. And yes, it also brings up some really harsh subjects that nobody wants to hear. I'll be the first to admit I didn't like the parts about rape and female genital mutalation. BUT, just as female sexuality needs to be discussed and people need to be aware of it, so do all the horrific things that happen and harm this aspect of a women. It was funny, sad and enlightening. I give it a thumbs up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they do, especially on college campuses. With this play being performed at our college for the first time, i think it raised a lot of awareness and our college declared our school to be a rape-free zone. Without raising the awareness, things will continue to keep going the way they are. Many colleges each year report that they had no violent, sexual, or harassment acts committed throughout the year. That sounds great, but sadly, its usually a lie.... *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #9 March 6, 2003 The Vagina monologues were on TV a couple of weeks ago. I watched part of it, they(?) with my girlfriend, but could not stomach the parts about rape and genital mutilation. The scary thing is that my college roommate was born in Rwanda and he actually believed the folklore about genital mutilation!. Yes, the easiest way to prove that your college is "rape free" is to manipulate statistics. Kind of like the way a school principal "proved" that my nephew's elementary school was "bully free."

beavdog 0 #10 March 6, 2003 I saw it last Saturday...I loved the performance by the lady that played the Sex Worker. She really got into the part and was moaning like crazy. It was some seriously funny shit. That and the old man next to us that yelled cunt right in the middle, I mean that guy was like 60. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
