Women’s college cancels ‘Vagina Monologues’ because it might offend women with penises, not vaginasQuotehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/01/16/womens-college-theater-group-cancels-vagina-monologues-because-its-offensive-to-women-who-dont-have-one/
For nearly 20 years, people have been offended by “The Vagina Monologues.†There have been so many objections to the play that protests have long since stopped making news.
Playwright Eve Ensler wrote the much-loved, much-hated series of short monologues after interviewing women about sex, love, birth and violence. It shocked many theater-goers with its intense focus on such an intimate part of the body; some found it feminist, thought-provoking and liberating, others found it crass and demeaning.
Now it’s got some feminists offended, too.
As first reported in Campus Reform, a theater group at a women’s college says it will stop showing the play – forever.
The decision to end an annual Valentine’s Day tradition was debated on campus at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass., as are so many things about female identity.
The student-run theater group’s leaders asked the dean of students to send out an e-mail asking whether they should continue to run the play, according to Julia Ferrante, a spokeswoman for the college, and then another e-mail this week announcing the results of the survey. Because of students’ concerns about offending transgender people, the theater group canceled the play.

1. So women can't talk about their lives for fear of offending other women. This is so wrong. n/t

4. it seems to be like a very insular group of people, talking only to each other
and 'problematizing' something just because they can
i wonder how many trans women were actually even involved in this decision

3. i am a trans ally, and i think this is beyond stupid. (then you're not an ally, you're an oppressor)
trans people have real problems, and the vagina monologues and drag queens, are not their problems.(boy, do the trannies ever need their own Randys1) i feel like these issues only crop up when trying to cater to a very exclusive and wealth group of individuals, not trans people overall.(Quite a rationalization for your hatred there, DUmmy)
while trans people (women and poc, particularly) are dying (through murder and suicide), this shit is really not their primary concern.(said the self-appointed one)
DUmmy uhnope, the proper name for trannies is not 'women with penises'.
It is 'chicks with dicks'.
Get it right next time.
Progressive on Progressive violence is the sweetest kind of violence. :rotf:

I wish I didn't know this shit.

Bruce is a drag queen, a cross dresser, a weirdo....when the doctors turn his dick inside out and stuff it up his ass, then he will be a ....hell, I don't know, another "it".
I rarely laugh so hard about the DUmmies. The wife laughed pretty hard too
Note how offended they are that political correctness dares to invade their world.
Dear DUmmies,
Welcome to the world the rest of us have to live in day in day out. One can only imaging the outrage that would ensue if you asshats had to eat the entire dish whole hog like you want the rest of us to have to do, instead of envoking DUmmy privilege and getting by with just a taste.
Suck it up DUmmies. Trans privelege > Klam privilege, and you have nobody to blame for this monstrosity you've created except yourselves.
:ownit:

No matter what Bruce Jenner does to himself, he will never be a woman. He will be just another man who's mutilated themselves in the false belief that they can become female. It's DNA, not what you feel that you are, that determines what sex you are.
