My name is Kesiah and I'm a feminist attending University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Yesterday I saw The Vagina Monologues, performed right here on campus, funded by the Women's Resource center and the library. It was amazing (I've never seen it before) and I loved that so many people turned out. The audience really got into it and the actors were really good. My friends and I stood up afterwards, I almost teared up so many times during the performance.
The point of this post is how many people showed up. When I walked in, I was completely floored. It always seems like (even in my liberal ass city) that feminists are painted as the typical stereotypes, and anything associated with feminism is kind of taboo. However, so many people showed up -- so many people genuinely wanted to watch, to laugh, to tear up, to hear what women had to say.
Did I mention I'm going to a Drag show here at UWM tomorrow? It's going to be amazing.
