What's Good for the Goose is Very, Very Bad for the Gander

Vagina Monologues good! Penis Monologues bad... Very, very bad! Christina Hoff Sommers' piece (poor word choice in this instance) at National Review Online exemplifies the monumental hypocrisy and double standard extant on college campi and the world at large (note: this was probably offensive to even the author, so if you have difficulty with body parts, you probably should pass on this):

College administrators have been enthusiastic supporters Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues and schools across the nation celebrate “V-Day” (short for Vagina Day) every year. But when 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.

If you've read this much, you might as well read the rest of the article, and wonder aloud (or to yourself), whatever happened to egalitarianism, tolerance, equal rights and freedom of speech?

Sadly, I think the organizers (poor word choice) might have been have had more success if they would have portrayed The Penis Monologues and Penis Day from a "Gay" point of view. What were they thinking?
