Diverse Vaginas
Eugene Volokh is "wrong, wrong, wrong"! But worse, the error involved vaginas. Sort of.
Volokh corrects an assumption he made in a prior post when commeting about this quote, made about a production of The Vagina Monlogues:
In flyers handed out to audience members at the show, University graduate Nicole Sangsuree Barrett wrote that while there was "diversity" in the show, it was minimal. Women of "a variety of skin colors, body sizes, abilities and gender expressions" were not adequately represented, she said.Volokh figured the variety of "abilities" referred to disabled women, as opposed to women with no acting "ability". He figured it must be the latter but today admits that no, indeed the criticism was that the show was not diverse because it didn't include women with no acting ability.
Which begs the next question: what was meant by women with a variety of gender expressions? With Volokh already fooled over whether or not it's a good idea to put on a stage performance with folks who can actually perform on stage, there's no way I'm taking a stab on what that means.
