Give me a break please!
On the Today Show the girls were on. They were doing a proformance of the "Vagina Monologues" during an open mike night I think. Anyway the girls were asked not to use the word Vagina. They decided to do it anyway and got introuble.
I don't know, I really do not think it is a big deal unless you make it one.
What do you all think??????????

    From what were they suspended? High School? Was it a school function?
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    vagina is the proper medical term isnt it?

    so i dont see the problem... fair enough getting into trouble if they said cunt or something... but vagina... :confused:

    america is weird sometimes with shit like this... stupid puritanical vaginas that they are
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The Vagina Monologues have been controversial wherever they go.

    People can't cope with the idea of women talking about their bodies in public or referring to parts of their bodies in public.

    Do I think they should have been expelled or suspended? No.

    Am I surprised that they were? No.
    NOPE!!!

    On the show they said the school board was reviewing the situation to see if suspention was needed.

    Men in positions of power, be it school boards or otherwise, are intensly apprehensive of anything that generates more innate power and influence than they can control. The vagina not only qualifies, but exemplifies the core of that fear. Therefore, it can't even be mentioned.

    But it's all for naught. Nothing can stop a rampaging vagina once it's set loose - not even the woman it's attached to.




    :o O.k. I'm done now. :o

    When they teach sex education in school, don't they call it a vagina?
    Isn't that the medical term for it? People freak out over the stupidest things. Why teach these girls the correct anatomical name for their own body part, and then not allow them to use it? It doesn't make sense to me. And, what word did they want them to use? I think that it's cool that they said it anyway. They stood up for what they believed in, and didn't back down because some idiot is afraid of the word VAGINA!!

    And nice work to you, Jeanie. There are many people on this board that come off as completely oblivious to the degrading nature of using the terms for women's genetalia as an insult--using them in a derogatory way. These people seem unaware as to what that derogatory view of women's gentitals says about themselves. More power to awareness! :)

    Clearly this is the monologue for you acoustic! :D

    Because He Liked to Look At It in which a woman describes how she came to love her vagina because of a sexual experience with a man who was in awe of vaginas. ;)
    NOPE!!!

    For the record, I don't use this type of terminology in this way either.

    man I wish I had the speech from Team America on hand. It's perfect for this thread.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.
