VAGINAS YES! PENISES NO!Campus Commissars Fight Phallic Foolery

Campus commissars have once again provided us with an inadvertent peek into the hidden agenda underlying their pose as defenders of "free speech," "artistic expression" and the like. While condoning Lesbian "art" featuring graphic and even illegal sex acts, Roger Williams University in Rhode Island has punished campus satirists for daring to poke fun at these eccentric entertainments, according to the National Review.

At the heart of the controversy is the Vagina Monologues, a critically-acclaimed play by Eve Ensler which, among other things, glorifies the seduction of a drunken underage girl by a 24-year-old Lesbian (the underage girl is variously played as a 13-year-old or a 16-year-old depending on the production). The play's performance has become an obligatory ritual during campus celebrations of V-Day — Vagina Day or Violence Against Women Day, as you prefer — a feminist revel meant to replace Valentine's Day.

This year, College Republicans at Roger Williams University decided to fight back. They staged P-Day — Penis Day — featuring the performance of a play called The Penis Monologues. Christina Hoff Sommers reports in the National Review:

"Two participating students, Monique Stuart and Andy Mainiero, have just received sharp letters of reprimand and have been placed on probation by the Office of Judicial Affairs. The costume of the P-Day `mascot' — a friendly looking `penis' named Testaclese, has been confiscated and is under lock and key in the office of the assistant dean of student affairs, John King."
