RWU’s inaugural “Penis Day,” as written up by noted right-winger Christina Hoff Sommers, that is. Once again, college officials come across as hypocritical, short-sighted, and humorless.
Free Testaclese! (Maybe the mascot’s sympathizers could stage campus protests in which they “go commando” in solidarity?)
You would think there would be a pubic outcry.
The long and the short of it is, students should be exposed - to many things.
Too bad, dong gone it.
Yeah, those students had balls, but then they got the shaft.
How the hell did miss Cristina Hoff Sommers reach the conclusion that “The Vagina Monologues” is an “anti-male” play? 
I say it’s all bunk. The administration can hardly expect to allow vagina-shaped lollipops but not a penis mascot based on the grounds of vulgarity or prudence. In fact, I’d like to see any sort of logical line of reasoning that doesn’t end in: “allow both, or allow neither.” And I really want to take my picture with Testaclese! I hope he comes to my campus next year!
As a public service, I’ll paste in 2004’s penis appreciation puns.
I musta missed the memo informing me penis appreciation was cut down from 7 to 1 errr…days. I’m convinced my Congressman, Pete King’s behind it
Looks like they rubbed the administration the wrong way.
You have to wonder, though, why a university official would be so pleased to greet a large mushroom.
Oddly enough, one of the genus names of mushrooms is “phallaceae” (look at the picture on the bottom right :D)
If you ask me, it’s the administrators that are the dicks here. I demand equality of genitalia! It’s time this matter really comes to a head.
I agree that the administator’s are being rather teste here, I mean, come on! Why so hard on the issue? I think they are ntohing but a bynch of monkeys that need to be spanked.
On a serious note (although I do agree the administrators were in the wrong) how does the suthor get away with saing the monologues are anti-male? They are pro-female, but not anti-male. Hell, in one of the monologues, a man (GASP!) is the one responsible for showing a woman the beauty of her anatomy because of his love for it.
I’m sure this will end up in either the Pit or GD, but for now I’m enjoying the puns. I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread.
That’s only because you expect someone to come in who’s a Master Debater
I think the college administration was acting on the principle, “give 'em an inch, and they’ll take…six, eight, who knows?” 
These guys are complaining about lesbian stage action? Has college really changed that much since I left?
Yeah, you wouldn’t want to turn a blind eye on this thread.
I for one have faith in the power of protest – and particularly when on a wavelength of irony, sarcasm and ridicule. The pen is mightier than the sword…
I don’t know why this is being framed as a right vs. left conflict, when it’s really a gender equity issue. My politics run to the left, but I applaud what the College Republicans did with Penis Days – but only if they were demonstrating how there’s a double standard with gender issues, and not “putting the hypocracy of Democrats and the left on display.”
Then again, it may just be where the Pubbies are trying to honor Richard “Dick” Nixon.
One hopes no one will break the rules in this of all threads. They might be sentenced to penile servitude! :o
Phallaceae is the family name. The generic name is (you guessed it!) Phallus, of which there are several species like Phallus hadriani [NSFW, depending on your work environment].
After a little searching: the official P-Day website, complete with pictures of Testaclese. Although I think they misinterpreted the Vagina Monologues, I like the way they responded. Their promos are hilarious, even if they’re hilarious in a somewhat offensive way (see the one titled “My penis is confused.”) I’d like to know what anti-feminist b!^@& Christina Hoff Sommers has to do with it, though.
You know where to find a good penis mightier?
