Three high school girls were suspended last week for saying the word vagina during a reading from The Vagina Monologues at a literary night. Apparently, the girls had been asked to not say vagina, and disobeyed the order.
OMG kids in the audience might have heard the word vagina!
GASP!
Next thing you know, people will realize that IT IS A BODY PART. Vagina is not a swear word, it's not inappropriate. Do people really want their kids to grow up not knowing proper terms for body parts? Should 15 year old girls go the doctor and call it a hoo-ha?
I wondered if this was a sign of the fall of feminism, but then realized that a real sign would be people ignoring things like this. Shame on the principal of that school, and thank you to those girls for disobeying a ridiculous order and for believing in your convictions enough to do so.

Well said. Isn't this idea of being proud of our female sex and proud of having the ability to bear children, and have pleasure what the book is really all about? I distinctly recall a chapter where one woman says the word vagina over and over again until it loses it's rarity and is a normal part of her lexicon.
VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA!
