GS: What do feminists prove by reading 'The Vagina Monologues' on the Michagan state capitol building's steps?

Question

From reading the article Democratic Representative Lisa Brown misunderstood why her fellow legislators objected to her speech which included the quote, "I'm flattered you're all so concerned about my vagina. But no means no."

Quote from fellow Michigan Representative--"Her comments compared the support of legislation protecting women and life to rape, and I fully support Majority Floor Leader Jim Stamas' decision to maintain professionalism and order on the House floor," GOP Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons, of Alto, said in a statement last week.

Therefore Ms. Brown was not allowed to speak for one day. Somehow Lisa Brown construed this to mean it was because she said the word 'vagina'...she apparently misses the subtleties of the situation.

Are SOME feminists their own worst enemy because they either misconstrue situations OR deliberately ignore the central issue and concentrate on a side issue and then proceed to make a mockery of THEMSELVES?

Answer 1

Lisa Brown has delusions of adequacy. I wouldn't drill that Michiganistan +ω@+ with Bill Clinton's bent tool.



The dweebs in Lansing need to focus on the economy, clean up Detroit and Flint, and dispense with the feminist navel gazing. House elections are in November, and Brown has made some new foes; I'm sure.

Answer 2

One monologue-

The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could", in which an adult woman recalls being given alcohol and statutorily raped at 13 by a 24-year-old woman as a positive, healing experience, ending the segment with the proclamation "It was a good rape."



I find it strange that feminists support rape. Maybe that's what this was about...I guess feminist democrats support rape of adolescent girls by adult women.

Isn't that charming? (sarcasm)

Answer 3

from what i've heard all over the news and from people around me, it WAS because she said the word 'vagina'. apparently that word is considered dirty there. what i think? people need to calm the fu** down and accept that every person here is a person and deserves the same rights. so if you want to deny a person their rights, take away your own first.



i'm glad you said "some" rather than all feminists, because honestly a lot of the feminists i know are great people and want equal rights. i consider myself a feminist i guess, but i'm all for chivalry and i wouldn't abort my child. but, the rights should still be there.



also, i don't think it's feminists who are proving anything. who says the people there are all feminists? half those people were probably sick of republicans trying to take away women's rights. it's getting old, and it's just a LITTLE bit screwed up.



anyway, that's just my opinion. i hope this is helpful to you! :) i'm a female by the way...

Answer 4

There's nothing wrong with calling out and embarrassing people who advocate rape, like the "wand" psychos.

Answer 5

They prove that they can project their own incapability to discuss PENIS as anything but a dirty word, or to encourage it in any other way than male self-loathing.

Answer 6

That they'd rather waste time publicly reading a book no one else care about rather than close their self imposed wage gap.



Hint for feminists: Closing the wage gap means you have to work. And reading books on capitol hill doesn't count.

Answer 7

and yet when I say I like my penis...i'm a perv..

Answer 8

I know, right?



And those black people back in the 1880s who dared to compare the "Black Codes" laws after Reconstruction with the laws in slavery times -- didn't they understand that those laws were to "protect" black people?



Hint: Attacking women's rights is not "protecting" them.
