I am a VAGINA WARRIOR


I am a proud Vagina Warrior. Here's my shirt to prove it!

I had known that a student group at work was holding a reading of The Vagina Monologues but it wasn't until I received an email about these awesome "Vagina Warrior" t-shirts that I really started to look into what it was all about.

www.vday.org And don't you love their logo ({}), yep, that's what it looks like.

I snooped around the website myself and am now a proud sporter of my new tshirt. Craig got one too...they were only $5. Now, considering that fact that those words are the only words on the shirt, no website, no info, no nothing, only the words VAGINA WARRIOR across the chest in bold red letters pose a challenge. I think I can pull it off without looking like a perv but I'm not sure about Craig. This will be a challenge for him. Even if he just wears it around the house it was worth the $5 for a good cause. Please visit their website and learn more about the movement to stop violence against women and girls. Just to save you some time here is their mission:

V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women.

V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely.

V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now.

V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities.

V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world.

V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops.

V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence.

V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community. Join us!
