For the sake of "inclusivity"

Students at Washington University in St. Louis recently struck a blow for inclusivity when they made a thematic change to the popular play "The Vagina Monologues," dropping the show's focus on vaginas in favor of more generalized monologue-based performances.

The student performers "spoke 20 different pieces, all centering around sexuality, sexual violence, body image and more," the student newspaper Student Life reports.

The new title of the play was "[Blank] Monologues." The performance was "able to create an environment where experiences surrounding sexuality, body image and vaginas could be freely discussed without judgement," one student told the newspaper. ...

Okay ... I've been meanin' to talk with y'all 'bout this for quite a while now. I really think we all need to pitch in to create a more inclusive environment on this here board where we can freely discuss, share experiences with, and generally celebrate vaginas without fear of disapproval and judgment. Who's with me?
