The main topics in the Vagina Monologues revolved around how lots of women are not appreciated and personally don’t embrace their womanhood as much as they should. Each actor recited their own story that conveyed a strong message to the audience because just listening to their words made me visualize every detail in their monologue. As women we were given vaginas for a reason and its time that we acknowledge and take pride in our bodies.
I learned by attending the Vagina Monologues that in the United States, the last recorded clitoridectomy for curing masturbation was performed in 1948--on a five year old girl. Also the clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure. The Vagina Monologues relates to class material in regards to the discussion about body image. Lots of women don’t value their bodies because they are too ashamed to talk about it. For example, a vagina is what makes a woman an actual woman and without it there would be no gender classification. I feel women don’t get enough credit in this world. We are the ones who gave birth to men, but no one really cares to appreciate that due to the fact that we live in a patriarchal based society. As one of the actors Eve Ensler stated: “I bet you're worried. I was worried. I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas and even more worried that we don't think about them.” It’s time for women to get more involved and voice their opinions because we were born with a right to freedom of expression. How can we be about change when we don’t speak on it? Being concerned and speaking on the right issues can only lead to progression and change. The show was very informative and gave me the confidence to believe in myself from the inside out. A woman is composed of many different elements and being able to dig deep and realize that within you is such a beautiful thing. Lots of people attended this event and it
