They're talking about a different Bob, right?

[driftless]

They did that play in my hometown of La Crosse, Wisconsin last year, and a local judge named Ramona Gonzalez actually took a role in the play. You could read reviews of the play without having any idea of what the play was actually like. It was basically depicted as a frothy pro-women vehicle over which patrons could have many an illuminating and thought-provoking chuckle over. Very little of the actual dialogue or overall thrust of the play was revealed.

I have been aware of the play and of what a left-wing nut Eve Ensler is for a number of years. But many average Americans are quite unaware of what the play is really trying to promote. Actually most of the dialogue is too stupid to be taken seriously...except by the far-left liberal feminist elite and the easily brain-washed young women who think this ridiculous play really accomplishes anything except lowering IQs.

Oprah once named Ensler "Woman of the Month" or some such title in her O magazine a couple of years back.

Now I know why I've studiously avoided this play--It's every bit as bad as I suspected. This is what our country's heroes died for, so that bored, pampered pseudo-intellectual, developmentally challenged brats could spend their time making obscene salads and cookies?

Don't they know we're at war? I'm beginning to think our country needs to implement some kind of mandatory military service for both men AND women. These female children have entirely too much time on their hands.

[Reactionary]

Since the decadent little leftists view men with such disgust, perhaps they'll be off to fight the wars against people who want to enslave them and cut their worthless tongues out.

The worst thing that could ever happen to these swine would be for white men to tune in and drop out.

[OldSmaj]

And one final word of advice: Stay away from Bob. Thank you.

Is this the Bob that hawks the "natural male enhancement" product, Enzyte, I think it is, on TV?

If so, he's come a long ways, if his fawning wifes reactions are any indication.

These people are idiots.

Parody is often the surest means of exposing folly.

from your earlier post, and its subliminal directive to make me go & look up what modus tollens is, im thinking you meant to say it that way.....

in which case, well done! it appears to be the typical leftist hypocrisy; trumpeting to the world how they favor "exposure", yet attacking, denigrating, and demagogue-ing whoever "exposes" them.

A young man makes and serves me a vagina salad for dinner with his parents

The sick part of this is having his parents there. And Eve Ensler.

[Larry Lucido]

I couldn’t speak when it came my turn in the workshop. I was speechless.

Okay, so Sommers has identified one positive effect of Monologues on some women.

[Taliesan]

These women must not have had a very happy home life. To feel empowered by talking about your genitalia? One searches for a superlative for "pathetic", then just walks away.

These women are all Democrats, and think John Kerry is "thoughtful".

[Hemingway's Ghost]

And for heaven’s sake, do not let Eve’s Army hijack Valentine’s Day, a day that celebrates love and romance.

Can't we just ditch Valentine's Day altogether? C'mon: it's the stupidest holiday of them all.

[John O]

so let me get this straight. According to the v-monologues a woman's sex organs are her most important part and the determiner of her destiny?

Seems I got into a lot of trouble for believing that back in college. I guess I was just too far ahead of my time

[Marie]

What I find so ironic is that these folks are glowing over the essence of their femaleness while pointedly ignoring why the "V" is really so special in the first place. Isn't it the road that transports souls to earth?

Oh, wait.... we can go on and on about how great sex is, but babies.... *shudder* Let's ignore the womb. We can't see *that* anyway.

What is it with these people? They crow about how great it is to be a woman, but spit on the most wonderful trick that only we can do. Grow babies!

Dont forget that feminism was created so ugly, boring women could have a social life too....

[Rate_Determining_Step]

Bob?

[lastchance]

Christina Hoff Summers' book" Who Stole Feminism " is wonderful. For another similar opinion on the "Vagina Monologues" read Tammy Bruce's. " The Death of Right and Wrong."

[MikalM]

No. THIS "Bob":
