"Leaders at a college in Michigan decided to cancel its production of “The Vagina Monologues” because it’s discriminatory, given “not all women have vaginas.”
The women’s resource center at Eastern Michigan University put the kibosh on the famous production since it caters only to women who have the physical anatomy that accompanies the female sex, according to The Ann Arbor News......Those opposed to the drama said they were concerned about the fact that the production excludes some women, namely those who don’t have vaginas...
The resource center issued the following statement on the show’s cancellation:
"We feel that making this decision is in line with the WRC mission of recognizing and celebrating the diverse representations of women on campus along with the overall mission of the Department of Diversity and Community Involvement, in which the WRC is housed, of supporting and empowering minoritized students and challenging systems and structures that perpetuate inequities.
We truly believe that it is important to center our minoritized students and this decision is in line with this mission driven value."
