Does anyone know anything about The Vagina Monologues ?

I'd been told, by people who I'd regard as reliable, that they were extremely funny. Last night, I accidentally found a performance on the telly. The 2 minutes I watched seemed to consist entirely of a woman explaining how she'd "reclaimed" the word cunt, and then repeatedly saying it in different silly voices.

Which the audience seemed to find hilarious. Which I found incomprehensible. It's not like I found it offensive, it just... wasn't funny.

[One Notional Kudos Point to anyone who realises why I suddenly remembered about this :) ]

But why should women be unhappy to see men there? I'd be delighted to see men at such an event on their own, it would deminstrate that they weren't just being dragged along by their girlfriends.

I'd have thought/hoped so too, but people aren't logical - see the comments in Josh's entry (the link I pointed at above).

By the way, I've long wondered which of the people at Oxford who I didn't really know, but recognised as a name, at the time you are. :-) If you didn't know me at Oxford at all then I don't suppose it matters at all!

Ah, I must have missed that bit. Oh yes, I remember, the mocking friend. Well, what can I say, some women are idiots! Speaking for myself, I'd love to see men there on their own initiative. If I ever plcuked up the courage to go :)

No, I do remember you! I'm Kate Harding. I have no idea whether that'll ring any bells.

Yes, it does! I carried around something with your autograph on for years. Admittedly it was my OURPGSoc membership card, but at least I do know who you are. :-)
