CHICAGO, April 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Americans For Truth today launched its "Stop the Monologues Project," to expose Eve Ensler's radical feminist play, "The Vagina Monologues" (TVM) -- which includes a chapter in which Ensler, a lesbian, asks a six-year-old girl several questions about the girl's vagina. A host of celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and Faith Hill, are joining Ensler in celebrating the tenth anniversary of her play this weekend in New Orleans.
On pages 103-104 of the 10th-anniversary edition of The Vagina Monologues, in a chapter titled, "I Asked a Six-Year-Old Girl," Ensler asks the following questions based on an interview with an unnamed girl (only the answer to the last question is provided below):
Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth and father of five children, said it is astonishing that Ensler and her vulgar play are being celebrated given TVM's past and current promotion of adult predatory behavior against minors: "Imagine if an adult homosexual man were to quiz a six-year-old boy about his penis -- or a straight man were to ask a little girl silly questions about her private parts – for use in play! Would such men be praised by the media and famous personalities?"
Stop the Monologues Project Director Donna Miller, the mother of a teenage girl, said, "I find it horrifying that an author would sexualize a six-year-old girl –– particularly when that same author has a record of writing favorably about adult/child sex, at least for lesbians."
Miller noted the hypocrisy of a movement whose stated goal is to "stop the violence against women and girls," while it celebrates a lesbian rape-seduction, underage drinking, and a lesbian adult asking highly inappropriate sexual questions to six-year-old.
The Vagina Monologues book, on pages 80-82, tells of a lesbian rape-seduction in a story titled, "The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could." In the monologue, a 24-year-old woman plies a 16-year-old girl with alcohol before seducing her (statutory rape in many states).
The original 'Monologues’ play included the same segment except the victimized girl was just 13.
Horrifying, but not surprising.

I can’t help but wonder how long I’d stay “on the street” if I were to question a minor about her vagina?
(Do I really need the /s?!)
I will say, however, "it's for the children, stupid,"
Do I need to use the /sarc tag?
gnip...
I hate to be crass but I can answer the following question.
“If it could speak, what would it say?”
Mine would say, “Shut the F up.”
BTW Wagglebee, that comment was to the disgusting woman, not you.
Hope you didn’t take it that way. *blush*
The Vagina Monologues book, on pages 80-82, tells of a lesbian rape-seduction in a story titled, “The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could.”
I figured it was, but thanks for the clarification!
Was "Snowflakes" the answer to all of the questions?
This makes me sick to my very core. LET KIDS BE KIDS, DAMMIT!
All these folks need is a compound out in the boonies.
They could be a religious "sect".
Does Eve Ensler have tomato plants growing out her ears, or some other obvious sign that she’s stark raving bonkers? Why isn’t this woman in a mental institution?
If she didn’t make up the whole story about the six-year-old girl, I think we can assume the girl said, “What are you talking about?” followed by, “Mom! A crazy lady is talking to me, and she won’t shut up!”
"Give me the children, I will give you a nation."
If a grown man had tried this with a 6-year old boy (e.g. how’d you dress it, give it a name), he’d be in jail and correctly labeled as a pervert.
The thing about the Vagina Monologues is that it is NOT funny, or urbane, or witty. It is just ‘there.’ Really, Ensler being a ‘lesbian author’ as opposed to just an ‘author’ and the ‘edginess’ of the subject matter (oh my!!!! vagina is in the title!!!!) are what gave it its off-Broadway buzz. Throw in the deriguer ‘celeb’ readers and well you have a ‘cultural event’ that still isn’t entertaining.
Am I allowed to share that?
Question: Does the average six-year-old these days, male or female, spend much time pondering those questions as they relate to his or her primary sexual characteristic? It’s been almost forty years in my case, but I honestly don’t remember thinking that much about little Rich at all, much less asking myself those questions.
[I have smelled a lot of snowflakes]
Why? I can understand the other part.
