the riot, vagina monologues theatre culture the riot mag the riot magazine
I am a university student traveling throughout Central and South America to exploring how The Vagina Monologues has been translated and interpreted in different Latin American countries, and whether or not the themes morph to be culturally relevant. By focusing on the power of language, I will investigate how a play formulated by Western feminists has crossed into the global community to become a powerful piece of theater for women from different cultures.
My goal here is to keep family, friends, classmates, professors, and those interested informed about my journey — the people I meet, the places I go, the discoveries I make.

i would really appreciate any help! i need about 4 more people to participate!
If anyone wants to head over and give her a hand, it’d be much appreciated!

Nice bit of accommodationism there. “We’ll just mutilate baby girls a little bit, to make the misogynist patriarchal assholes happy.” Well, we have no obligation to make misogynist patriarchal assholes happy at all, especially not when it involves waving scalpels about in the genitals of children.

"Unfortunately, being a woman in society means that sometimes you have to sort of quell what is instinctually broad and magnificent and magical about you…I don’t know if that’s necessarily relegated to being a woman, because we’re all so worried about fitting in and not sticking out. [But] what’s great about this whole [comic book] genre is that it’s all about sticking out. It’s all about being magnificent to the highest power."
— Gina Torres on voicing Superwoman in the new DC Animated film Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.
