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.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t know I have a vagina when I was six years old.
Exactly.
The entire fuss is as immature as a group of 8 year old boys that has just learned the word "penis" and take childish delight in repeating it.
"Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ...Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis ... Penis"
Does that make me sophisticated?
No?
Just checkin'.

the news is great, as are the other posters...
Welcome to The United States.
I have to say, my 7 year old granddaughter is a little to preoccupied with reading, drawing pictures, and playing like a 1st grader to be worried about this force fed BS.
I moved from New York to South Carolina over twenty years ago, I have not only not seen any snow since but if I ever had smelled snow, I forgot what it smells like. I do remember tasting it though and it taste like, well, like water.
Life is certainly strange and diverse. You don’t remember what some things smell like and others you never forget.
Originally the age (IIRC) was 12 but they changed it due to negative reactions.
I believe you are right.
There’s probably a reason for this woman’s strange fixation, but I really don’t care what it is.
Imagine what would happen to a man if he asked a young boy about his "equipment."
Note; does not apply if man in question is a politician in the Democratic party. Does not apply in the cities of San Francisco, Berkley or Ithaca.
PENIS!
Before repeating it the third time they would fall to the floor erupting with laughter. By the time you got them settled down one of them would fart and they would be rolling on the floor again.
Boys just won’t buy into that kind of BS. They have a natural defense.
A man with a fixation for little boys (or girls) is called "a pervert."
What should we call a woman with a fixation for little girls (or boys)?
In 1980 when Captain Oveur asks an eight year old boy if he likes gladiator films it’s absurdist comedy making fun of pederasts.
In 1998 when Eve Ensler asks a six year old girl what her vagina smells like it’s considered high art and is celebrating “womanhood”.
"Oh, Sir! That is sooooo sophisticated and avant-garde. You should write a theatrical work on the theme."
"Yeah, whatever, lady. I just wanted to let the entire World know that I had one. So does my dog."
