I'm not used to using CUNT as anything other than a satirical insult.
On Saturday I attended a production of The Vagina Monologues done by the theatre group on campus. I had been meaning to see/hear them for a while now and am quite pleased that I actually got the opportunity to do so. Both the content of the monologues and the production itself were quite good, as I expected them to be.
It's definitely something worth seeing. A few of the monologues were damn funny, especially the one concerning the various types of moans that women might let out while having an orgasm. Others were quite moving and touching. There was one added recently that deals with Katrina that really tugged on my heart strings (my heart is a marionette, you see). While I may not have a vagina, I was born in New Orleans and while I only lived there for about a third of my life, I still feel a strong connection to that place and can't think about the Katrina situation for long without strong emotions of all types bubbling to the surface. All in all, it was a worthwhile evening.
In related news, a new phrase has been added to my household lexicon:
"VAGINA MOTHERFUCKER!"
Neither my roommate (who also attended the production) nor I have quite figured out how to work the phrase in to our everyday conversations in a way that isn't total non sequitur, but when we heard it exclaimed we both knew instantly it was a keeper.
That, in addition to the other recent addition (courtesy of David Wain) of "I would totally fuck a baby into that vagina" has led to the use of the word vagina during conversation more in the past few days then in the previous few months at least, if not longer.
And before you get the impression from the use of such ridiculous phrases that I'm some type of misogynist (too late probably), all of these conversations are held in my generation's usual language of complete sarcasm and satire. Young, disillusioned, and overly political members of the armchair intelligentsia have to relieve stress with a little stupid from time to time just like everyone else out there. All smart and no dumb makes Will a dull boy.
In fact, along those lines, I would be lying if I didn't admit that one of the main reasons I actually wrote this post was so that I could use the words vagina and cunt a few times. Because, really, how many times to you get to type the word cunt in a (semi)serious piece of writing?
