RADAR ALERT: Take Back Valentine's Day from the Abuse Industry
Submitted by Matt on Sun, 2007-02-11 04:32
We here at RADAR would like your help to make sure that Valentine's Day retains it's traditional value as a special time to celebrate and enjoy the love, honor and respect that most men and women still hold for each other.
We need your help because some revisionists are using 'The Vagina Monologues' play as a vehicle for hate and condemnation, and a new, inappropriate symbol for Valentine's Day. They want the V of February 14th to be remembered, instead, as a symbol condemning men as being insensitive, cruel, abusive, stupid and uncaring. Worse, 'The Vagina Monologues' is disingenuous. It rightfully condemns male/female rape, but wrongfully celebrates female/female rape. See: http://www.ifeminists.net/introduction/editorials/2004/0127.html.
Annually, hundreds of showings of the 'The Vagina Monologues are performed around the country every year – mostly on college campuses. And hundreds of editorials trumpet an unseemly level of respect for these hate-filled offerings.
What To Do:
Watch for announcements of 'The Vagina Monologues' productions and supporting editorials in your neighborhood. Compose an email to producers/editors and mail it using one or more of the below suggestions. Remember that Valentine's Day is Wednesday. So do this as soon as possible.
- Tell them that most men – contrary to the hypocritical message of hatred portrayed by the 'The Vagina Monologues' – actually love, honor and respect their women, and have done so for centuries.
- Tell them men have built magnificent temples and statues out of respect for women.
- Tell them the rape of a girl by a grown woman, as portrayed in 'The Vagina Monologues', should not be held in high regard while at the same time casting men as evil for doing the same.
- Tell them that St. Valentine has been a traditional symbol for the encouragement of love and affection between the sexes. 'The Vagina Monologues' serves only to encourage men and women to despise and distrust each other. This is a high insult to the St. Valentine's tradition of mutual love, honor, and respect, which deserves to remain exalted and preserved.
And remember to have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Vile, Vindictive, Vixens!
The lesbian losers that produce, promote, and accommodate this hog-wash are bad enough; moreover, having it funded by tax dollars is utter bullshit!
My last semester in college, I took a required art appreciation class. One day the class was instructed to attend an art display on campus. One of the bimbos had sketched a drawing depicting a male penis dissected like you would a worm in science class; spread wide open and held in place with pins. I thought it was vulgar! One of the other males asked the "artist" (who was on-scene to collect her kudos) what kind of statement she was making and she instantly came unglued. Psychos can't take criticism!
A question and some things to add add to emails
What did the rest of your art appreciation class think of this dissected penis art? Was there only one member who was bold enough to ask the artist a question? I know I would have been curious as to the point of the piece myself. If it was an expression of her desire to understand men and learn about them - the way school students learn about animals and biology and anatomy through dissections in science class - then I would see little wrong with it. I would doubt that was her intended purpose though given that I am naturally suspect of university indoctrinated women.
Originally, Miss Eisner wrote "The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could" segment of the play with a 12 year old girl as the liberated lesbian inductee. She changed it in later versions to 14 and most productions portray that character as 16. Goes to show what society is willing to tolerate and what they are not. 12 was to distasteful to most audiences and even 14 is only tolerated by some audiences.
The only male in the play 'Bob' is portrayed as utterly worthless except for one redeeming characteristic - through his love of pussy he taught her to love her own pussy and every other pussy. What message does this send to the audience? It tries to teach women that men only love their pussies and that if they learned to love pussy as much as men then they no longer need men.
The whole play is so drenched in lesbian indoctrination.
I would love to see a play about womanhood and the essence of the female being. Just not one that says the only thing that is at the core of all women is a desire to be lesbians and hatred of men. I think most women don't feel that way and that there is more to a woman's soul then that.
The Truth about V-Day...
They're either lesbians who hate everything about male/female romance, or women who are lonely and jealous of others involved in a in relationship. How many women who are in love would forsake a romantic dinner to attend a V-Day rally? Only lesbian couples and castrated man slaves, both of which are useless to our society.

If they attended millitant indocrination camp...
...AKA public school and university they might. Not because they don't feel love for their man, but just because they've been taught their whole lives that hating men and running them down it what a woman should do. There are plenty of these confused women out there. They love men, but at the same time they love to hate them. It's a strange world these days.
I'm glad the reception to V.M. was hostile, but..
the only thing that concerns me, is that it seems like most of the objection is against pedophilia and lesbian sex, and not much about innacuracy in D.V. info that is out there (not sure I'm right about that..I didn't check all the links). But "perhaps" the public is still ignorant about domestic violence; still, I guess the good news is that these feminist pigs have really shot themselves in the collective foot this time - now maybe people will begin to question them about everything they present to us!

Take back the date
Here is a suggestion. Support Independent Women's initiative, the Take Back the Date drive.
It is, in my opinion, a worthwhile alternative, at least on campuses.

Check Out Eve Ensler's Mug Shot
The Wikipedia link below will take you to a striking pose of Ensler in her full neo-feminine glory. Frankly, she looks like an ugly transvestite... the kind that even a good-looking trannie wouldn't hit on.
No wonder she glorifies her vagina; it has to be more attractive than her face....
(From Wiki's entry) --
"From October 2005 to April 2006, Ensler toured twenty North American cities with her newest play The Good Body, following engagements on Broadway, at ACT in San Francisco, and in a workshop production at Seattle Repertory Theatre. The Good Body addresses why women of many cultures and backgrounds perceive pressure to change the way they look in order to be accepted in the eyes of society."

Eve Ensler Criticism
Thanks for the Wikipedia link - notice that a new Criticism section has just been added. It should be interesting to see if this section remains or is censored. We know how radical feminists typically respond to legitimate criticism.
Criticism
The Vagina Monologues includes a section entitled "The Little Coochi Snorcher that Could". This portion of the play, as originally performed, has been criticized for including a lesbian "rape" scene of a 13-year-old girl by a 24-year-old woman who uses alcohol to lower the inhibitions of her victim. [4] This scene has been seen by some as supporting a double-standard of "good rape" when initiated by a lesbian as compared to rape intiated by a man, which presumably is considered "bad rape".
The scene was modified in later performances to omit the more inflammatory passages. The 2001 feminist.com site, which co-ordinated performances, was emphatic that performances for anti-violence/campus events adhere to the new script. It stated, "You must use the version...that is included in the Performance Kit that you will receive. No other version of the play is acceptable for your production. Do not use the book of the play or versions of the script from previous College Initiatives."
"its", not "it's"
Damn it, it's violence against my eyes & mind when "its" gets spelled as "it's".
Is Valentine's Day worth taking back?
Let the women have their silly little play, and you can buy a case of beer with the money you were going to spend on chocolates. The only one that loses is Walgreens. :)
I have to agree
I don't see what men get from V's Day. It's men who do the buying of presents and taking-on-dates and God-help-you-if-you-don't-send-me-flowers-to-my-office-sending-of-flowers routine. No, V's Day means one less thing to deal with in terms of "appeasing the goddess". What a load of crap.
Yes, we don't need it in any form, really.
right
That's why it's up to women to "take back the date," which is the less evil alternative.
Yea, it would be nice if there was a third option, one where the guy wasn't the villain -- or presumed villain, until he proves himself not to be by buying the appropriate ransom. But that'll never happen.
