Do people not understand what can of worms they are opening here by allowing a small minority of people to dictate what we are allowed to read? I'm sorry some woman's sheltered upbringing caused her to find the word 'vagina' offensive but it's a perfectly legitimate medical and legal term. This woman claims to be offended because she didn't want to explain to her niece what a vagina is but obviously she doesn't mind explaining what a 'hooha' is. I don't even know what a hooha is and I have 6 years of post graduate education. If the girl is old enough to ask what a vagina is I'm sure she's old enough to notice there's a crack between her legs and probably deserves to know what it is.

Let's stop being ridiculous and placating these ignorant people. If we're to take down everything that offends someone we won't have anything left. If I wake up one day and I'm offended by the word pizza should every pizza place in the country change their signs?

I can assure you I have no interest in ever sitting through the Vagina Monologues but I have even less interest in going to a venue that is willing to allow ignorance to dictate their actions. Use your heads and stop the censorship or it will only get worse.

Ah hahahaha! I have to agree with you on that. I tell you, I almost fell off my chair as I listened to the story on Robin and Company. What is wrong with these people???

Do you offer the same defence to people who scrawl grafitti? The author of this tedious feminist rant intended to offend. The driver was offended. This isn't a medical treatise-it's an evening's entertainment. If the theater owner blew her off, it would be a non-story...but this is the South. We do things a little differently here. "Whorehouses" become "chicken ranches," "Titty Bars" become "Gentlemen's Clubs" and, occassionally, on large billboards near a few beach side schools-- "vaginas" become "hoo-has".

You've never seen the bumper sticker, "Hoohaa is for lovers"?

Amazingly, most of us managed to grow up into healthy adults, unembarrassed by sexual matters, without radical feminist playwrights getting in our faces with their vulgarity. I see all of this as just another example of how radical leftists want to push the envelope and test how far they can go in redefining what is acceptable. How far we've come from the poetry of I Sing The Body Electric, to The Vagina Monologues.

One of the saddest developments over the last 20-25 years has been the explosive emergence of sexual images and messages in the pop culture, which is breeding a generation of young girls who want to wear Prada when they are 11, and are anorexic by 14. How do parents protect their girls from the pressure to grow up too early, when "in your face" images sexual imagery and language becomes so prominent? It may be important for Eve Ensler to scream to the world about her vagina, but it's important to me and mine that we protect our little ones from having to grow up too fast and too soon.
