I think it has become a bad world because our society is very private and people don't here it often, making it strange. I wouldn't scream "VAGINA" in public, but I might use it in a quiet conversation. But I wouldn't scream "EYEBALL" either. It is all relative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-29404805302825217192007-03-30T16:27:00.000-07:002007-03-30T16:27:00.000-07:00I think saying vagina is okbecause all it is, is a...I think saying vagina is ok<BR/>because all it is, is a body part.Black Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188065563910407210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-52490901696826182022007-03-20T15:47:00.000-07:002007-03-20T15:47:00.000-07:00I think that the whole subject of that play is goo...I think that the whole subject of that play is good for girls to know about just in general, because all the vagina is, is just another part of the human body for a female!!

I read Melanie's post about The Vagi...Hi, New Moon!<BR/> <BR/>I read Melanie's post about The Vagina Monologues on the blog today, and I wanted to respond to her great entry.<BR/> <BR/>I saw the play for the first time a few weeks ago, around Valentine's/V-Day. My initial reaction was amazement--I was amazed by how bold the play was, by how heartbreaking it was at times (especially the pieces about rape and genital mutilation in war and genocide), yet by how empowering the play was. Most of all, I was sad that the play even has to exist; it's sad that we live in a culture where there is so much humiliation and pain behind a simple body part is terrible. And the fact that a play about a female body part can have the ability to be so "controversial" says so much about our culture's ideas about women's "private parts." If male body parts are symbols of power, the vagina is, in our culture, too often associated with shame, embarassment, and secrecy. Why else would there be such strong reactions to a play that simply tells women's stories in an honest, unrestricted way?<BR/> <BR/>Thanks so much for being willing to create a forum for discussing this issue. It's a brave thing to do.<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>NataliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-62129702490049620312007-03-12T15:18:00.000-07:002007-03-12T15:18:00.000-07:00I truly think it's an innopropiate word. Why would...I truly think it's an innopropiate word. Why would those girls use the word if the school had told them not to? And it is an inappropriate word. It's the exact same as Penis, it's not to be said in public. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for listeningAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
