Shoot Me But -- Vagina Monologues is Funny!
Submitted by Roy on Sun, 2007-04-08 04:18
Have any of you dudes actually seen the "Vagina Monologues": off-broadway play, campus renditions, or DVD edition?
Well, whenever I hear about some feminist abomination, I like to check out the original text, law, blog, post, screed, etc.
So I recently rented "The Vagina Monologues: Eve Ensler." (2002 DVD recording of her performance piece.)
This woman is funny! And smart, and ironic, and wicked, and self-critical, and insightful...
Not at all what I expected to see based on all the negative reviews on the MRA blogosphere.
She is far more critical commenting about women's psychotic self-inflicted foolishness than she is about men or the evil patriarchy.
My favorite quote ---
"You have to love hair... to love the vagina."
You'll probably have to live in NYC or LA or get a NetFlix subscription to rent this DVD.
Eve Ensler has been unfairly reviled. She is one very funny gender-politically-incorrect stand-up comic!
Of course, the whole "V-day" debacle is a poor reflection of her work.
I always wish to know my enemies before I condemn them, and Ensler is worthy of reconsideration.

ok, but what do you mean..
"You'll probably have to live in NYC or LA or get a NetFlix subscription to rent this DVD."
Why is that? I live in Thousand Oaks..can I rent it at a Blockbuster near LA? I am alread a member of the one here.
I don't know anything about netflix. How much does it cost, etc?

Completely off topic but
Completely off topic but Netflix is an excellent service. I think the pricing starts at about $12/mo and goes up (depending on how many movies you want to have out at a time).
I saw it on HBO years ago
I didn't think it was funny or even witty, but that's just my taste. And I found the scene, where the good rape of the minor girl was advocated, hypocritical and just plain criminal. Is that still in the movie you rented? I heard it had been edited out of some productions.
So??????????
This woman is funny! And smart, and ironic, and wicked, and self-critical, and insightful...
So what? I once read in a definitive biography on Adolf Hitler that he actually was witty and self-critical at times also. That (dead) beast Andrea Dworkin made a few clever witticisms during her misandry spreading career too.
And as for the Vagina Monologues I would probably find talking fur burgers funny also. I may rent the DVD just to see what the fuss is all about.
Blockbuster.. how I detest thee
Blockbuster is controlled by a very Christian board of directors. There is a large number of movies that you will not be able to find in Blockbusters.. most of all older "drug movies" such as Requiem for a Dream and Groove.
really?
How about Panic in Needle Park, or Reds?
