I have enjoyed the discussions that we have in class. I read VM when I was working out every morning and I found myself laughing at some of the pieces. However, I agree that the monologues do allow women to be and feel comfortable in talking about their clitoris, vulva, etc. and not feel ashamed about it, as many people have been taught to do. I believe that goes along with the taboo of peoples view about the vagina. As has been stated by other in class. It is a good medium for women to be free to talk about our genitilia and not be shushed. As I said before, I found myself laughing at some of the monologues but then there were others that had a sad effect on me. I did not care for the fact that Eve just happened to make not that the monologue "The Little Coochi Snorcher" was by a [Southern woman of color], what does that point have to do with anything. Also, since Eve interviewed a wide range and class of persons, there were no monologues from married women who have a positive relationship. I think the monolouges are overrated.
