The Vagina Monologues is a play, but your point is valid. They are making their decisions without any objective criteria.
Well i am fond of both vaginas and god , in fact i never feel in the presence of the second as much as i do when in the presence of the first . I can tho see how either or both , or maybe both at once are considered controversial by some .
