Until I first experienced The Vagina Monologues one very late night on HBO, I was mostly indifferent to my role as a woman on this planet. Being 16 and plagued by the preoccupations of boys and school I never really took the time to understand the meaning and beauty of being a member of such a wonderful sex.

My views on the symbolic meaning of my vagina changed when I saw Eve Ensler perform the monologue "I Was In The Room." The monologue describes Ensler's witness of the birth of her granddaughter. Towards the end of the monologue Ensler compares the wonders of the vagina to the heart, "It can live for us, it can bleed for us, it can die for us." I was moved to tears and was motivated to see the rest of the play. It was beautiful and empowering and made me really appreciate my sex. It gave me a new definition of feminism.

Every woman should see this play. It's somewhat educational and easy to relate to and most importantly, it will move you to truly love yourself.

This movie was excellent. I love Eve Ensler, she is my favorite female playwright. This is an important movie, it reminded me of the importance of my own "vagina". It shows how us women are just as important as men and that we can do just as many things as them. Even though there were those moments of sad traumatic stories about abuse and rape, there are more happy stories of pleasure and good, thank God. Those critics out there who call it trash need to wake up and give people and things a chance. "You can't judge a book by it's cover". Kudos to Eve Ensler. Two Thumbs Way Up!

Note: I saw this play and after I saw it I felt stronger not only as a woman but also as an individual.

One of the many questions that came to my mind while watching Eve Ensler deliver her often-abrasive performance in The Vagina Monologues was - Did those people sitting in the audience really pay good money to listen to Ensler rant & rave as she did about vaginas?

And another question that came to mind was - Is Ensler really that much of a deluded hypocrite that she condemns men who sexually abuse underage girls, while in the next breath, condones lesbian women who do the same thing?

If you ask me - I thought Ensler came across as being annoyingly anal about discussing the taboo subject of vaginas. This totally one-note presentation of hers often struck me as being very heavy-handed.

And the fact that she never once interviewed any men to get their opinions of a vagina gave me the clear indication of just how frigid and rigid and sexually biased Ensler was about her precious vagina.

At times, Ensler struck me as being such a man-hater at heart. I mean, she appeared absolutely hellbent on placing the full-blame on men as being the sole reason why so many women are of a negative-mind about their vaginas.

Yes. Perhaps I was in the wrong frame of mind when I sat down to watch The Vagina Monologues, but, from the perspective of a man, Ensler's verbal spewing out did nothing to de-stigmatize the vagina, nor did it lift the curse from anyone who (whether they like it or not) may have been born with a vagina.
