A liberal arts college in an affluent suburb of Austin, Texas has canceled a campus production of “The Vagina Monologues” because students have concluded that the play places too much emphasis on the vaginas of white women.
The site of the flap is Southwestern University, home to about 1,500 undergrads. The annual cost of tuition, fees and room and board at Southwestern is $50,090.
The complaining students say playwright Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” fails to capture the “reality of womanhood” because it predominantly presents “the white woman’s experience,” reports Campus Reform.
Instead of “The Vagina Monologues,” students at Southwestern will produce and star in another play called “We are Women.”
Southwestern sophomore Rachel Arco is organizing the substitute play.
