V-Day Silliness

Meanwhile, of course, colleges are infested with "walking vaginas." I'll let the joke write itself.
More V-Day Outrage Brings More Help From Luce Policy Institute
Walking Vagina Appears at Appalachian State University
HERNDON, VA—You know V-Day has gotten worse when people in God’s country are wearing vagina costumes. Yes, Boone, North Carolina’s Appalachian State University features as part of this year’s V-Day festivities a walking vagina on campus. And with February 14 just two days away, college students across the nation are bracing themselves for the onslaught on decency that is The Vagina Monologues.
The Monologues, a radical feminist play written by Eve Ensler and performed by college students around the world, purports to “end violence against women.” But neither the play nor its parent movement, V-Day, have any real impact on violence. They do, however, have an impact on the young people who are taken in by the vulgar pornography of the play, and buy into the negative messages that reduce women down to their intimate anatomy.
No link; that's from a press release forwarded to me, from the Claire Boothe Luce Policy Institute.
I'm not really bothered that there are vaginas walking around on campus. Nor am I bothered that feminists are not bothered by this.
I guess I just don't get what they imagine their accomplishing by broadcasting the fact that they have vaginas. Yes, we know. That's why we talk to you.
Well, that and boobies. But I guess boobies are too "patriarchal" an icon, what with Benny Hill and all.
