The original intent of the Vagina Monologues was to raise awareness about and prevent the violence that goes on against women every day in every part of the globe (Yes, there's violence against men too) But last time I checked, there wasn't a male equivelent of FGM.

Reading about what Roger Williams College did for V-Day, doesn't seem completely within the spirit of what the Vagina Monolgues was about. I've seen the show, I have never seen what they are talking about with the seduction of an underage person, to romanticize that, flies in the face of what the Vagina Monologues was supposed to be about, that is the violence against women and girls.

Since Roger Williams activities didn't seem to get the spirit of the event.. What does your vagina smell like? Hello? What? Just more than a little crude... Penis Day, even though the organizers admit to it being crude, doesn't seem any less crude than what was organized for Vagina Day.
