THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES!!

So I went to go and see the vagina monologue on Saturday and I just want to say that it was really good this year. I went last year and I wasn't expecting to hear what I heard so this year I was more comfortable because I knew a little bit more on what it was about. I must say that everyone did VERY well!!!  As I was at the show the price on disclosure kept popping in my head. It was so crazy how these women at first spoke so low of their vagina  they were all thought that it was a spot that was so bad to look at, touch and even think about, their vagina's were forbidden!  I was raised to think this as well. I'm mean when you’re a child your parent tell you things to protect you and it and I understand that, but is there a way that we as mothers and mothers to be can change how we talk about it? We should attempt to not make it sound shameful.  As teens most females grow into having self-esteem issues and body because of the media’s ideologies which some never grow out of, can we make it so that girls know that their vagina's are for the time being not access able but it is still beautiful?

Now, to the pieces that I really enjoyed. “The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could”  The girl who performed it brought it to life. I read this piece before and I knew what it was about but there was something about her, it seem like see took on this person...she felt her pain when she was hurt and felt her pleasure when she was pleased. 

Next is “The angry Vagina”. It made me laugh so hard because that is exactly how I feel every month and every time I have to go to the obgyn. It's like my vagina gets so mad at me because I'm doing all this extra stuff to it  because society says that we have to, it made me think  and I was happy that I could relate to this on EVERY level.

Then we had The fun fact about  the vagina, again it made me think about disclosure. Finally we have positive disclosure that doesn't frown upon a woman’s body. It is something that takes a female part and instead of putting it down lifts it up! I was proud to say I had a vagina..haha..oh yeah!!

Lastly I want to address the One billion rising video. That video was so empowering!!! To see all these women from difference cultures and backgrounds go threw horrible situations which happen everyday and is over looked was crazy!! To see them in the end stand up and fight back really touched my heart, it was like we are finally fighting for us, fighting for our rights!!  After watching that I got excited that we are taking back our power and it made me want to get out there and be apart of this fight as well.
