Spring Break
Laughing bonds crowd at Vagina Monologues

It really made sense what the Vagina Monologues' director Erin McGinley said about the performance: that people laughing together bond better than people crying together.
Think about it - groups who are looking for higher representation won't get anywhere by sitting around crying about their problems. They won't get anything productive done.
For the groups to accomplish what they want, they need to work actively together - and doing it with a smile on their faces can't hurt anything.
It will create a positive vibe for everybody involved, as well as the onlookers.
That's what makes the Vagina Monologues special - it represents female empowerment but in a humorous manner.
The women who are in the event seem to truly enjoy practicing and performing - this bonds the performers, as well as the audience, who sees their chemistry.
This University - and worldwide - tradition allows women - and men - everywhere to join together during the performance.
While the typical female audience will enjoy laughs together, the men who are brave enough to show up always seem to have a good time too.
And it might help them to understand the opposite sex a little better (if we're lucky).
