And you should too, because we all came from one. I enjoyed the Monologues- it was humorous and reminded us of a lot of societal and human rights issues that still, sadly, plague this world. Admittedly, I found the play to be a little over-the-top when it came to trying to make you laugh; for example, the moaning scene that felt like it lasted a wee bit too long, or the cunt scene which was gratuitously theatrical.

I was the only male that went with the Rose Scholars group because my friend ditched me (ugh… men, am I right?), but I wasn’t the least bit lonely. There were men in the audience, sure, but through chatting with the people around me and watching the play, I felt that the Monologues created a sense of acceptance, especially since it also highlighted the concerns of the LGBT community, whose members at times may have felt alone in ways I cannot imagine. And some of the horrifying stories told on stage made even me wince and clench my legs together.

So even though the play would be sexual for the sake of being sexual (and sometimes egregiously so), I would definitely recommend this play to any feminist, of any sexuality, of any gender. I would recommend this play to anyone who wants to smile (and cringe a little). I gotta say, it was really, really weird to see a school play where they talk about sex so openly and so… vulgarly. But hey, they say a man thinks about sex every 7 seconds right? Might as well be productive and cultured when I do.
