A group of Boston College students are trying to stop the “Vagina Monologues” from being performed there. Bettnet commenter Donato Infante, a BC student, has a petition up at his site if you want to sign it.
Meanwhile, the Cardinal Newman Society is ramping up their campaign to stop the annual debasement of St. Valentine’s Day by the performance of this atrocity at all kinds of so-called Catholic schools.
(N.B. The CNS really has to update its web site.)
And you don’t have to be a BC alum to sign. Any Catholic will do.
I could never figure out the VM. I can’t think of a single play that is more antithetical to the supposed femenist ideals than this one. The whole thing is basically an appeal for women to identify themselves not as dignified human beings, but on account of their sex organs.
Of course, it’s no secret that the group who is best at objectifying women these days are feminists.
Providence College announced today it would not allow the VM on campus.
