Women’s College Cancels ‘Vagina Monologues’ Because It Excludes Women Without Vaginas

IT’S COME TO THIS: Women’s College Cancels ‘Vagina Monologues’ Because It Excludes Women Without Vaginas. “At its core, the show offers an extremely narrow perspective on what it means to be a woman … Gender is a wide and varied experience, one that cannot simply be reduced to biological or anatomical distinctions, and many of us who have participated in the show have grown increasingly uncomfortable presenting material that is inherently reductionist and exclusive.”

Plus, “we can’t present a show that is blatantly transphobic.”

All-Women’s College Cancels “Vagina Monologues” Play Because It’s Not “Inclusive” of Transgender Students…




How many transgender students are currently enrolled at Mount Holyoke? . . . Zero.

Via Campus Reform:


Mount Holyoke College, an all-women’s college in Massachusetts, is retiring its annual production of the Vagina Monologues this year because the play is not inclusive of transgender students.

The annual production of the play is part of a country-wide tradition to perform Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues on Valentine’s Day to raise awareness about gender-based violence and usually coincides with the V-Day campaign. The proceeds are donated to sexual assault prevention organizations or women’s rights organizations.

This year, however, Mount Holyoke’s Project Theatre Board is defying tradition by permanently retiring the play. In a school-wide email from the Theatre Board, a representative from the group, Erin Murphy, explained the problems with the play and the reasoning behind its discontinuation.

“At its core, the show offers an extremely narrow perspective on what it means to be a woman…Gender is a wide and varied experience, one that cannot simply be reduced to biological or anatomical distinctions, and many of us who have participated in the show have grown increasingly uncomfortable presenting material that is inherently reductionist and exclusive,” the email, obtained by Campus Reform, said.

Replacing the play will be Mount Holyoke’s own version that will be trans-inclusive and fix the “problems” supposedly perpetuated by Ensler. Murphy also claims that there are problems with race, class, and “other identities” within the play.

Vagina Monologues Excluded for Excluding “Women” Who Don’t Have Vaginas


Sooner or later, every totalitarian movement turns on its own. Just ask Leon Trotsky, the Soviet communist with the icepick in his head. Or ask Eve Ensler, barking moonbat author of the “Vagina Monologues,” which will no longer be performed at all-womyn Mount Holyoke College because the Project Theatre Board finds even this infamously tasteless excretion of the feminist movement to be insufficiently progressive since it “is not inclusive of transgender students”:


In a school-wide email from the Theatre Board, a representative from the group, Erin Murphy, explained the problems with the play and the reasoning behind its discontinuation.

“At its core, the show offers an extremely narrow perspective on what it means to be a woman…Gender is a wide and varied experience, one that cannot simply be reduced to biological or anatomical distinctions, and many of us who have participated in the show have grown increasingly uncomfortable presenting material that is inherently reductionist and exclusive,” the email, obtained by Campus Reform, said.

Murphy also perceives other thought crimes—regarding race, class, and “other identities”—within a play that until recently might have been regarded as political correctness pushed to the last extreme of self-parody.

Mount Holyoke will replace it with their own version of the play, intended to be more ideologically pure. They are probably doing the same thing to Shakespeare.

Correction: Mount Holyoke is not all-women. Not anymore. In keeping with the school’s official ideology, it will now accept mentally disturbed men who pretend to be women.

Those who can’t figure out what the word “woman” even means to a liberal anymore are encouraged to watch the following video detailing the school’s new policy. Be forewarned that if it doesn’t shatter your sanity it will probably induce convulsive vomiting.
