Mayor of New Orleans: "I Am A Vagina-Friendly Mayor"

Ray Nagin welcomes "V-Day" Founder, Eve Ensler to city
Friday, March 7, 2008
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says he is "a vagina-friendly Mayor."

Nagin made the remark while welcoming the author of the Vagina Monlogues, Eve Ensler to the city to promote the "V-Day" celebration in New Orleans next month.

Scheduled to appear during 2 days of educational, cultural and entertainment events at the New Orleans Arena and Louisiana Superdome, are Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Salma Hayek, Sally Field, Christina Lahti and Faith Hill.

Ensler says they will celebrate V-Day's 10 years of ending violence in the world.

Mayor Nagin began his comments at the news conference by saying, "How am I gonna stand up and say, I'm a 'vagina-friendly' Mayor to these cameras after 'Chocolate City' and some of the other stuff that I've done. But you know what? I'm in."

"She (Ensler) started describing the event, and you know what, I'm a guy and I've heard about the Vagina Monologues but I don't know what was going on. I didn't know anything about it and she started to describe this event - look, you know I've got a script and I'm not following it - and I was absolutely blown away at how awesome this work is. I mean, she is doing God's work. So, I stand before you, a vagina-friendly Mayor. I am in! And you know what? It is so appropriate right now. New Orleans, Louisiana is the birthplace of jazz, you know, but it is the birthplace of so many tremendous women."

The event is a benefit. Ticket prices range from $25 to $1000.

And I just came from a thread where someone had, in their sig, Mosh's infamous quote: "Balls deep?" How relevant.

Which begs the question, if I wrote a book called the Erection Monologues, would I be deemed a sexist pig of a man?

A vagina is not the female equivalent of an erection... And the penis monologues already has been written, it just never caught on because parodies rarely match their target in overall success. That and the vagina monologues is a feminist tool to make women realize that the vagina is a good thing, regardless of how it has been demonized over the years. No one demonizes the cock.

If you've ever seen the show, they spend a lot of time talking about how women grew up being taught that their bodies were dirty, that vaginas smelled bad, that they should hide it or shave is to make it presentable, that it was inherently a disgusting place, etc. All you ever heard growing up as a boy was "stop playing with it or it will fall off" (which we quickly learned was a lie).
