The Vagina Epilogues [Updated]

The progress of ethics and wisdom in  civilization generally gets better over time, though it may take some screwy routes to get there. I presume gender ethics will eventually get better too, but right now, it’s hard to be optimistic. Take the vagina, and the absence thereof:

  • According to blogger Amy Dyess, lead singer for Big Dyke Energy, there is a movement to condemn lesbians who aren’t sexually attracted to trans women, the kind without vaginas. She writes on Medium, “Lesbians have the right to a word that defines who we are. We have a right to exist and take pride in our boundaries. Our existence doesn’t invalidate trans people. Plenty of pansexual and queer folks are attracted to trans people, and that’s awesome. There’s nothing hateful about being a homosexual, yet extremists don’t want homosexuality to exist.” Here’s an example of the argument that holds that one’s sexual orientations are a form of bigotry:

 

Writes Dyess, “Being a trans ally doesn’t mean you have to tolerate or promote homophobia. Being a homosexual isn’t anti-trans. It’s unreasonable to expect lesbians to be pansexual. Sexual orientation is sex-based for homosexuals, bisexuals, and heterosexuals. Extremists can’t handle that words have meaning. Boundaries aren’t being respected.”

Well, welcome to the Extreme Left Planet, Amy. It isn’t enough to ensure that people have rights regardless of their differences, its is officially unacceptable to acknowledge that those differences exist of involve any real world handicaps at all. However, special privileges that only those with the special qualifies are always just.

Conservative and liberal are rapidly diverging into two distant corners labelled: REALITY and FANTASY, with the FANTAST side taking no prisoners….or as Amy Alkon says, “Yes, sexual preference has become a form of bigotry in Social Justice Crazytown.”

  • The furied elevation of Women Without Vaginas as a special class continued at Eastern Michigan University, where a scheduled performance of “The Vagina Monologues”was  cancelled because, according to the university’s release, “not all women have vaginas.”  The Women’s Resource Center EMU halted production of Eve Ensler’s iconic 1994 play because of its “lack of trans-sensitivity”, and “overall lack of diversity and inclusion.” According to Ann Arbor News, survey respondents opposed to the production consistently cited that “the play centers on cisgender women, that the play’s version of feminism excludes some women, including trans women, and that overall, “The Vagina Monologues” lacks diversity and inclusion.”

Notice how the extreme Left inevitably arrives at censorship and the suppression of free speech.. It is the totalitarian tilt of the entire ideology: the nail that sticks out must be pounded down. Nah, there’s no difference at all between women with vaginas and women without them, and, I assume the logic goes, women with penises instead. They are as like other women as two blades of grass, and since they are, any opinion or artistic expression that says otherwise, hint otherwise, or in any way supports one who believes otherwise is not merely a lie, but a form of hate speech that should not be permitted in a woke society anyway.

Have I got that about right? I think so.

Many surveyed  wanted to see the play modified to reflect better diversity and inclusion, particularly related to transgenderism. That’s part of the pattern too. You can’t indoctrinate a population if old ideas and opinions are still available. Ban those books, plays, artwork and movies, or cut and paste them into Truth. The past not only has to be ignored and forgotten, it needs to be edited so all of the poison—because SJW’s now KNOW what is right, and the arguments are settled–can’t confuse anyone else.

In the new Broadway musical based on “King Kong,” the female lead doesn’t scream when menaced by a 30 foot gorilla, because we all know a woman would never scream in such a situation. (I might, however…)

EMU is not the first campus to cancel a  production of “The Vagina Monologues.” American University substituted an event called the  “Breaking Ground Monologues”, in order to “broaden the focus from specifically female genitalia to multiple identities and bodies.” In 2015 ,a student group at the women’s university Mount Holyoke College ended its tradition of presenting an annual performance of the play, claiming the play is exclusive of the experiences of transgender women who don’t have a vagina. According to an email sent to students from the group Project: Theater, “At its core, the show offers an extremely narrow perspective on what it means to be a woman.”

It’s funny: I was always excluded by the original  version of the play, but I always had the old-fashioned idea that screenwriters and playwrights should be able to write for all audiences and all points of view. No, now the Left has decided that old way was best: works of thought and art should be banned if authorities conclude that they’re not good for us, just like the censors once banned Henry Miller, D.H. Lawrence, and “Huckleberry Finn.” The key thing they’ve learned is that this only works if the right people are “the authorities.”

I had a really punchy but uncivil, vulgar, sexist and totally deserved ending for this post, and this story makes me angry enough to use it. I won’t, though.

  1. Is there a Y-Chromosomal Unit equivalent type of…um…thing such as:

    *The Pecker Profiles
    *The Crotch Chronicles
    *The ManSword Manifestos
    *The Dick Diaries
    *The Schlong Syllabi
    *The Johnson Journals, or
    *The Schvantz Summaries?

    Hold the presses…​we’ve hit paydirt…

    COCK TALES

  2. D.H. Lawrence is horrible. Just a bad writer and not such a great guy. It wouldn’t break my heart if he were erased. (Just a personal opinion/bias.) Saw a great show on the BBC a few years ago about what a horrible bunch of people the Bloomburyers were. Yuck.

  3. I highly doubt there is a play out there that includes everyone and I imagine one that does would be so convoluted it would be terrible. There is such thing as too many actors.

  4. “. . . diversity and inclusion.” Hmm, I guess that doesn’t include lesbians who are not into “women with penises.” I guess they must be guilty of thought crimes not to speak of men who are not into “women with penises” and don’t believe in pansexuality.

  5. Did you see this monstrous story about transgenderism:

    http://thefederalist.com/2018/11/26/mom-dresses-six-year-old-son-girl-threatens-dad-losing-son-disagreeing/

    In their divorce proceedings, the mother has charged the father with child abuse for not affirming James as transgender, has sought restraining orders against him, and is seeking to terminate his parental rights. She is also seeking to require him to pay for the child’s visits to a transgender-affirming therapist and transgender medical alterations, •••which may include hormonal sterilization starting at age eight•••

    So this crazy mother has found a psychotic “therapist” who specializes in ruining lives by brainwashing little boys into believing they are girls and then sterilizing them before they are old enough to speak for themselves. The mother should be in prison or an asylum, yet “the court prohibits dad from dressing James as a boy or from teaching him that he is a boy” and it is the father who’s accused of child abuse.

      • “And because they decided in themselves not to know God, God handed them over to a worthless mind so that they would be doing whatever is inappropriate, as they are filled with every injustice and fornication, bitterness, wickedness, greed, envy, murder, contention, treachery and wicked reasoning, murmuring, slander, and they are detestable to God, being insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil, lacking reason, who do not obey their parents, because they have no stability, neither love, nor peace, nor compassion in them…”

        Sound like anyone we know?

        Remove God from society and teach the worship of humanity, and this is the result.

        • Custody battle over transgender issues exposes the massive fallout of the moral revolution

          “It points not only to that deep divide over worldview in this country, but to the fact that that divide has real life consequences. In this case, it comes down to the basic question, is this child a boy or is this child to be called and considered a girl? Is it child abuse to say that the child is a boy, his sex at birth, or is it child abuse, we should say in the other direction, to manipulate this child in such a way that the child is a pawn in a custody fight and the instrument of turning that child into a pawn is a transgender argument.”

          “…whether or not treatment should start that will sterilize this child as early as age eight…”

          “Every single dimension of it. At the base, the story is about the very lie of the transgender revolutionaries who want to tell us that when you’re talking about a six year old boy, who at least at times at his mother’s house takes on the identity of a girl named Luna, we are told that we are to abandon all concern. We are to throw away all restraint and under the demands of the new sexual revolutionaries, we are to celebrate this transition and declare that it must be so simply because in every case presented along these lines, it must be so.”

  6. Maybe trangenderism isn’t something that should be encouraged.

    Maybe it’s a mental illness.

    While historically we’ve accepted some mental illnesses as generally benign and we accept or tolerate such individuals as mere “eccentrics”, we never encouraged or endorsed truly hyper-eccentricity.

    Maybe transgenderism, at the level of militancy it’s espoused isn’t good for the community.

    Maybe we can stop pretending and actually draw some lines somewhere and quit trying to rhetorically accommodate and embrace deep mental imbalances.

    Maybe we should also stop trying to convince our young during their most confusing times of life that maybe they to should develop deep mental imbalances.

  7. ”stop pretending and actually draw some lines somewhere and quit trying to rhetorically accommodate and embrace deep mental imbalances.”

    Are you kidding?

    Wouldn’t that lead to inhabitants of a fact-based Universe openly mocking breathtakingly imbecilic policies like ​race-based discipline in public schools and/or the positively brilliant, ahead-of-the-curve idea of Community Policing?

    • Or securing consent from one’s Sex Robot before, welp, you get the picture.

      HeyZeus Alou & Ferchrissakes; do Lefties (some, not all) sit around and conjure up the STUPIDEST fucking things imaginable and then convince themselves that: “Hey, that’s really not such a bad idea?”

  8. I am going to say the most un-PC thing here… Eastern Michigan University Hurons. People scoffed at the slippery slope argument then…
