Let's, shall we?
Alright.
Chile's thrice.
Yeah, All right.
The moment of truth.
What did everyone think?
Oh, come on.
I know that the tendency is to back away from anything that makes us uncomfortable.
But this book to play, really, it challenges us to look at our own womanhood, you know, to examine the feminine experience, body images or sex clip Hering.
You know, it's not usually like this.
Last month we read how Stella got her groove back.
You know what I think we should do?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen, I think that we should all go around the circle and each answer one of the questions that this book posits.
What do we think?
Yeah.
Okay.
If your vagina could speak, what would it say?
My would love more wine a lot more?
No, I've already had my four ounces.
Unfortunately.
Well, Elena, since you are our illustrious host, why don't we start with?
You were joking.
No, I'm really I'm serious.
I want to know.
I'm curious to know what you think of the book.
Well, I thought play was funny in certain parts, but I also found it a little bit grumpy.
Rampy.
Well, What about the Bosnian rape victims?
Well, not that part, obviously.
You know, I think that we should read that one out loud, because if you haven't read the book Oh, no, no, no.
That traumatized me.
Which is why I get it from Memoirs of a Geisha.
Less trauma and controversy.
But what's wrong with a little controversy if it elevates the conversation?
I mean, isn't at the point of even having a book club?
I'm sorry, but the term coochie scorchers isn't particularly elevating in my mind.
I was surprised with all the mention of you know, what's vaginas?
That there was very little discussion about motherhood.
Okay, there was that amazing piece at the end about childbirth.
Well, there was that their one, but out of how many?
20.
Well, not everyone with the vagina wants to be a mother.
Well, a lot of us do, and we all came out of one.
And it's a big event for, you know, and and the main reason we have a you know, um, well, I haven't had kids.
So does that render my vagina irrelevant?
I mean, what about Linda, for that matter?
We're not talking about Linda's experience.
I think that's a little personal.
What are you talking about, then?
What are you saying?
That my vagina is just worthless than your vagina?
You're getting very upset.
I think Alina's touching on something that speaks to the heart of the peace.
I mean, I I had the same thought when I read it.
Actually, that big events happen all the time to vaginas.
But we, as a society have a deep discomfort calling them by name, let alone regarding them with respect or actually seeing them.
Yeah, I don't think that's what Elena was saying at all.
I do, I think, Elena.
And please correct me at high for hours.
But I think Elena is talking about vaginas as a metaphor for our own discomfort with the parts of us that make us most uniquely and primarily who we are.
Have you really looked at your own mhm or has anyone here?
I think that that is Elaina's point.
How can we see ourselves when we're afraid to look at who we really are?
This is Mia, Everyone.
She's new to shake her.
Yeah.
Really?
Inside.
Mhm.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
