This university is close to our home and is getting increasingly looney.

Thus sounded like an Onion story so I just had to read it.

EMU group ends 'The Vagina Monologues,' citing exclusion of some women
Updated Nov 13, 3:35 PM;
Posted Nov 13, 3:31 PM

"The Vagina Monologue" lacks diversity and inclusion.

Modifying the script to the play written by Eve Ensler is not an option, due to copyright laws, the WRC stated.

"We feel that making this decision is in line with the WRC mission of recognizing and celebrating the diverse representations of women on campus along with the overall mission of the Department of Diversity and Community Involvement, in which the WRC is housed, of supporting and empowering minoritized students and challenging systems and structures that perpetuate inequities," the email from the WRC said. "We truly believe that it is important to center our minoritized students and this decision is in line with this mission driven value."

The survey was launched as a result of conversations with current students, as well as feedback from a WRC workshop titled "Not all women have vaginas," during the 2017-18 academic year.

According to the WRC, both brought up conflicting ideas and concerns about the effectiveness and relevance of "The Vagina Monologues," an episodic play written by activist Eve Ensler in 1994, offering a series of first-person narratives in which women speak about their vaginas.

"This created a need to ask the question: Do we still need 'The Vagina Monologues?' And, are 'The Vagina Monologues' still relevant to next generation feminists?" the email from the WRC says.

Some survey participants wanting the production to continue said the play is the first introduction into feminism for many, challenging individuals to think differently about a variety of issues affecting women.

The WRC's email noted that "many of the same people" in support of the production felt that the "The Vagina Monologues" should be modified or accompanied by a series of workshops that address the diversity and inclusion that it is lacking.

"It is important to note that due to copyright laws, we are unable to change the script," the WRC's email said.

Representatives from the WRC were not available for additional comment.

EMU is not the first university to reconsider its position in hosting "The Vagina Monologues."

American University's Women's Initiative chose to change the event to the "Breaking Ground Monologues" in an effort to "broaden the focus from specifically female genitalia to multiple identities and bodies."

In 2015, a student group at Mount Holyoke College decided to cancel its annual performance of production, saying the play excludes the experiences of transgender women who don't have a vagina.

Wtf has happened to this country? To the world at large? Is this a “first world” problem, or has it begun trickling down to less developed countries?

All I can do is refer to these cretins as mentally defective and teach my kids common sense (now referred to as “intolerance”).

The world is continually sliding into the abyss of madness.

EMU... I spent a lot of time there in the mid 90's, all for a girl of course.

I think every college is becoming a leftist indoctrination camp

There's a joke in there... somewhere. Eek



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Oh Jesus... I don't know how else to respond to that. Sorry if two percent or less of your student body is confused about what is between their legs, they'll get over it or they can write their own play.

You could get together and have the penis/vagina dialogues.

If I were going to create a list of words that trigger me, this article would be a great place to start.

Inclusion;
Empowering;
Minoritized;
Inequities.

Finally, this sentence sums up the nonsense of the SJW. “We truly believe that it is important to center our minoritized students and this decision is in line with this mission driven value."

What in the entire fuck is that about?
