The WRC announced its decision in an email, which came after the center evaluated responses from a survey. Survey respondents opposing the production consistently indicated they were concerned that the play centers on cisgender women, that the play's version of feminism excludes some women, including trans women, and that overall, "The Vagina Monologue" lacks diversity and inclusion.

Oh god. I've had to pause it half way in for a breather.
The earnest hand gestures....

Ok.
Back to it.

maybe they're worried about excluding women who've lost their vagina in an accident...

I demand that “Death of a Salesman” is no longer performed, as it is exclusionary to those of us who are not dead salesmen.

On another note, I'm chuckling over a word I've never encountered before in their explanation, "minoritized"....Grin
Consider me educatized

It is like saying the color purple isn't inclusive of white people

Maybe they should have added Jess's contribution [boak]

Surely if you throw the 'Vagina Monologues' through the trans-narrative translator, then the accusation should be that it excludes some men?

MrsWinkly · 15/11/2018 16:05

It was only a matter of time before they came for The Vagina Monologues...

MrsJayy · 15/11/2018 16:04

They're not the first to be so brave and stunning.

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."

Let's just re-write everything that refers to women in a way that makes it clear the women referred to are actually women.
