“We were worried about vaginas…” is the opening line of the Eve Ensler production of “The Vagina monologues.” The show is about women and its purpose is to raise awareness about domestic violence. If the show was about heart disease an appropriate way to start the show might be, “we were worried about our hearts.” Vagina is the anatomically correct term for a body part rarely mentioned in “polite” dinner conversation.
Being a part of the monologues has opened my eyes to the controversy surrounding the monologues. The second I told my mom that I would be in a production called, “The Vagina Monologues” her face contorted as if I told her that I would be starring alongside Jenna Jamison in an XXX rated film. Even coming from a strong Christian home I still didn’t expect that reaction. It was about domestic violence, raising money for the cause against Femicide, and taking a stand for women everywhere! Even after explaining she turned her nose to the idea and told me that the family would not be hearing about this endeavor. Then I received information that there were certain people on campus that didn’t agree with our production either and I was sent a link to an online article published by the Catholic News Agency. This article was slamming Father Jenkins, president of Notre Dame University, for allowing the play to be performed.
Bishop D’Arcy of Fort Wayne – South Bend calls the performance “pornographic” and that the entire V-Day Organizion “directly opposes the dignity of the human person and is antithetical to Catholic teaching.” After reading the article I noticed that there were a few comments at the bottom all agreeing with Bishop D’Arcy’s condemnation of Father Jenkins and “The Vagina Monologues.” Naturally, I also commented stating my personal experience with the monologues and the good that it does for a campus and community. After performing the monologues in front of friends, family, fellow students, members of the community, and even my father, I have realized that many people love the show after they see it even if they walk into the auditorium hesitantly.
It’s not about religion, it’s about women. For anyone who thinks that the V-Day Organization was created to trample over Catholicism, I suggest you look up the V-Day website and click on “mission.” And to Bishop D’Arcy who mentioned the promotion of feminism as a downside of performing “The Vagina Monologues,” it’s 2009, get with the program. We can vote now too.
