I know, I am also late on my posting, and though it does not count for a grade any longer, I just want to get this in. I will not lie, I absolutely hate this book. I know that there are some valuble parts to it, but overall, I was so dissappointed in it, that those parts were completely discredited for me. This book honestly made me sick to my stomach at times and brought angry, almost hateful tears to my eyes at others. I simply cannot respect Muscio as an author or person. While this may seem harsh, I only want to get out exactly what I feel. It took everything in me to keep reading this book and honestly, if we weren't writing a paper on it, I don't think I would have. I really try to encourage my sisters and my mother (who are all pretty behind on feminism) to read the Vagine Monologues, but I have told everyone I know to never read this book. It has had a really negative influence on me!
