My ... Likes to Sue

You probably know about The Vagina Monologues.  If not, you're not missing anything other than smut poorly camouflaged as high art.  Think I'm boorish?  Here are examples of some of the flyers advertising a recent Monologues:

The week before V-Day, the Roger Williams campus was plastered with flyers emblazoned with slogans such as “My Vagina is Flirty” and “My Vagina is Huggable.” There was a widely publicized “orgasm workshop.” On the day of the play, the V-warriors sold lollipops in the in the shape of–-guess what? Last year, the student union was flooded with questionnaires asking unsuspecting students questions like “What does your Vagina smell like?”

Seems about Larry Flynt's speed, doesn't it?  Then again, perhaps sex is something that should not be kept private, and indeed, should be glorified on college campuses.  Or perhaps not.

College officials punished male students who decided to parody the Monologues.  Christina Hoff Sommers has the details in this interesting article.  Her story leads:

[W]hen the College Republicans at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island rained on the celebrations of V-Day by inaugurating Penis Day and staging a satire called The Penis Monologues, the official reaction was horror. Two participating students, Monique Stuart and Andy Mainiero, have just received sharp letters of reprimand and have been placed on probation by the Office of Judicial Affairs. The costume of the P-Day “mascot” — a friendly looking “penis” named Testaclese, has been confiscated and is under lock and key in the office of the assistant dean of student affairs, John King.

Hmmm.... so women are allowed to praise their nether regions but men are not.  That's an equal protection violation.  And since praising genitalia and sex is acceptable only when done from the female's perspective, the school also engaged in viewpoint discrimination.

I'm wondering whether the male students who suffered gender and viewpoint-based discrimination are thinking: "My [use your imagination] likes to sue."
