According to the V-Day website, http://www.vday.org/main.html, it's still all abot violence against women and girls... maybe women taking charge of their sexuality and their vaginas is a step in that direction..

I originally had typed that men taking charge of their penis's would do little to change violence against men, but the more I thought about it, maybe it would.

The organizer's original intent was to be crude... rather than trying to get a message out... they really didn't have a message, other than to be crude. I"m not sure that they got the actual message behind V-Day, but there is one... So in that case, there's really not a double standard.
