Well, as you can see, I am posting two days later than the Friday deadline. I have had to put this book down and pick it up so many times. I agree with whomever said at times they wanted to throw it out of the window. For the most part, I am not enjoying Cunt. One section that I did like, before I state my dissatisfaction, is the paragraph that she wrote on in having a menarche party. What a wonderful way to celebrate crossing over into womanhood. For the most part, growing up, many people do view a womans menstral cycle as being a bad thing, but to be able to reclaim the meaning of our menstral cycles and to be taught to look at it as a celebration is awesom. Although I did not have a big celebration for my coming into womanhood, my daughter will. I agree with Amber that Muscio doesn't leave much room for the awesome miracle that can be and has been conceived from my cunt. I have two wonderful miracles that have come from my cunt and I am happy about them. Just like VM the authors don't leave room for married couples who celebrate and explore cunt and in situations where the man is honestly and truly happy about and want to make his woman's cunt happy and is doing so not grudgingly and with a smile. I was not happy with the section Reproductive Control for Cunts. I believe Amber put is so nicely about it seeming to be a celebration of abortions and not reproduction. I have to agree with Joe. One reason it took me so long to post my message is because I am higly upset with Muscio's audacity (did I spell that right) to put the the terms, Christian, Jesus and Apostles together with forms of negativity. For one, in the preface, page xxxi, she is naming different types of women and I do not like Women are Christian motorcycle dykes. I like motorcycles, and I am a TRUE Christian woman and I am not a dyke. I didn't like that she put those words together. I am not saying that those persons who are dykes or whatever are not good people, but as a Christian I do not agree with the lifestyle, but that is another conversation. Muscio also states on p. 39 that "a number of societies have the right idea prohibiting higly sensitive menstuating womenf rom entering churches. . ., sadistic god is worshipped". I don't know what church she was going to but she certainly would have been welcome in my place of worship. I know understand and know where the idea came from in the OT of the Bible, in the book of Exodus, when women were mensturating, they were ostracized and left out and anything that they touched or sat upon was considered unclean. I don't know if that is still the case in the Jewish religion today, but it does not exist in the the Christian religion. Yes, Mary Magdalenw was a Whore, prostitute, whichever you prefer, but did she in no way have a sexual relationship with JESUS!!! And to suggest that Jesus perceived Mary Magdelaen as an esteemed Teacher is an outrage and she in no way had anything to do with helping Jesus in the are of being humble, or sharing the love manifested in his heart. Furthermore, Eve was not created as a docile replacement for anyone by the name of Lilith. God created Eve in the beginning as a helpmate for Adam so that man would not be alone. Muscio made too many religious accusations that may have been true but she is mixing them up. On p. 105 where she states that women were silent as punishment for the sins of Eve, that is untrue. Our punishement for Adam and Eve's sins was for women to have to go through giving birth and the travail that comes with it. Women were to keep silent in church because they were causing too much comotion about things that they had no knowledge about. Anyways, you get my point.
