Lauren- I love Ani and kept thinking of that song when i was reading certain parts of Cunt- particularly about her dripping her period blood on the floor...
i dont really have that much to say (i feel like i said the bulk of what is on my mind in class on wednesday). i have really enjoyed reading this book. I cant say that i like it better or worse than VM, it is just completely different. VM, i feel, had a tone of victimization and self loathing behing every monologe, whereas i feel that Cunt is more power driven, outspoken, and hopeful. But stating your case is one thing, doing it for the sake of shock is another....
There are times in this book that i feel Muscio uses language and detail for the pure sake of shock- as if if she graphically describes her menstral blood or vaginal discharge, the reader will take away from it some sense of empowerment, provokied by shocking/ borderline gross detail. Am i making sense?? i dont know- i know what i'm trying to say, but its hard to word it.
overall, i am enjoying this book though.
