The world famous play The Vagina Monolgues has been renamed "The HooHaa Monologues" for a performance in Florida, after a woman - and therefore presumed possessor of a "HooHaa" - complained that she was "offended" when her niece - another presumed HooHaa owner - asked her what a vagina was.
This is happening in the nation that leads the world in media presentation of women, in the battle for social, economic and sexual equality and freedom, and - and I merely mention this - in porn consumption.
So ultimately, I just have a couple of questions. Firstly, give a shout out - yes, no, kinda - if you're offended by vaginas. Secondly, anyone got any views on the fact that the play, which speaks out against violence towards and the "silencing" of vaginas, is bowing to the pressure of offence in the USA of all places.

NB folks - I asked this an hour ago and it never appeared.
