Feminists refuse to perform “The Vagina Monologues” because it’s gender exclusive

It’s fun watching the politically correct turn on each other.  

The new wave of social justice feminism has deconstructed gender equality to such a degree that now, the famous feminist play The Vagina Monologues, is no longer acceptable because it doesn’t represent all bodies.

This oddity — the outdated requirement that to be a woman you must have a vagina — is currently playing out on college campuses across the nation. As a result, the once heralded female-centric play is being rejected by theater groups.

An American University student panned the “antiquated” script because it dares suggest that only women have vaginas and “represents a binary representation of gender.” This student is on staff at AU’s Women’s Initiative, and the quest was to find a new set of monologues which “make this a place for all bodies regardless of gender identity.”

Students at Whitman College were able to find an alternative with a show it called “Breaking Ground” where students talked about their own bodies, as HeatStreet explained. They’ve been doing so for the last three years since rejecting the worn out feminist play.

And yet another, Mount Holyoke College — an all-female school — refuses to do The Vagina Monologues because students have become “increasingly uncomfortable presenting material that is inherently reductionist and exclusive.”

Playwright Eve Ensler weighed in on the backlash her work has received:

“The Vagina Monologues never intended to be a play about what it means to be a woman. It is and always has been a play about what it means to have a vagina. In the play, I never defined a woman as a person with a vagina.”

Well, lucky for us, she doesn’t need to supply the definition of a woman because science has already done that and there aren’t enough tears from triggered snowflakes in the world to change the cold, hard fact that having a vagina is the exclusive requirement to be a woman. If you don’t have one, you’re a man.

I hope I’ve been able to clear up any confusion because it’s obvious they aren’t learning this in college.
