Designer defends female genitalia costumes for children
2004-07-21
Moonbat designerCynthia Wold has written a letter to the editor of the Ithaca Journal (go figure) defending the costumes worn by a group of children during the recent Ithaca Festival parade.
(The Ithaca Journal, like many lefty rags, is exceedingly jealous of its property rights and forbids copying of its articles)

Snippet, for relevant comment under the fair use doctrine:

Reverence for a woman's yoni is lacking in the Western world and manifests as self-hatred or self-disgust which can manifest as menstrual cramping, ovarian/uterine cysts, birthing complications, sexual difficulties, hip and sacroilliac problems, and more.

I am planning a Yoni Art Exhibit/Teach-In for the next Spring Equinox and welcome community dancers, poets, and artists to participate. Call [deleted, appears in original article] for more information.

#31  The "yoni" Sanskrit (ancient Hindi) for vulva, clitoris, vagina, and uterus. It encompasses the entire pelvis, pelvic muscles, and the sacrum (sacred) bone, and the powerful energy center located thereabout.

Oh great. A woman who's convinced that her snatch contains some kind of energy source. Watch out for this one, folks.

#24  A science and math teacher you say?

Must be a connection. As an undergrad science major, I was also obsessed with yoni, but the local specimens were more interested in jocks.

#23  Badanov, people who get in the way of Israeli bulldozers are a subset of the moonbat species, but it isn't a defining characteristic.

Dressing children in yoni costumes would seem to qualify even if she has never attended a mumia-cong rally or burned an American flag.

Also "Indian women agree: More Yoni is a good thing"
Wouldn't that be Indian men?

She also has that look in her eyes like that crazy bitch who drowned her kids in the bathtub.

#11  I guess yoni is a more sophisticated (less vulgar) way of say snatch, box, or crack.

Maybe Fred can incorporate the word into Rantburg. Such as:

Indian women agree: More Yoni is a good thing.

or:

Caution: Let your mouth talk, not your yoni.

Maybe we could rename the sinktrap to the yonitrap.

You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay, but ya doesn't hafta call me a yoni.

#10  At some point Feminism won and after that point those that continued to wave the flag of feminism because increasingly wacky and obsessed with their genitelia (and other women) in a way they always claimed men where with their equipment.

At the same time womens studies majors started appearing which added gasoline to the fire.

And now few want to be associated with modern feminism. Who can blame them.

#7  badanov- Thanks for the link. My God, she's certified to teach science and math! Gather up the young'uns. Something is seriously out of kilter here.

#6  mhw - I caught that bit too. This is all Jane Fonda's fault. LOL! Her and her vagina-friendly (or should that be "yoniphilic"?) pals are out to take over the world (no, really, we mean it!). I was going to say the OBL & Co. would be furious, but then again, I doubt this registers on their screens.

#5  For a deeper understand of who Cynthia Wold is look here.

Didn't know moonbat was a nice compliment for this person. I thought she might have been another Rachel Corrie heading down the wrong road. Oh well. I guess as long as she doesn't go to Israel to get hit by a dozer, she will be okay. My guess is her kids may have something to do with it.

If you read the article, she is saying female genitalia is regarded with "self-hatred, violation, rape, and sexual abuse in the world." Is Sandy trying to tell us something here. Maybe hubby didn't leave it in long enough, maybe too long? Someone help me out here.

#4  Spot

She's not just a fabric artist, she's the

"head fabric artist and designer of the costumes inspired by the feminist artwork of Judy Chicago and the dramatic work of Eve Ensler."

and of course Judy Chicago (born Judy Cohen, later Judy Gerowitz)

is the 'brains' behind the "art of menstruation"

how can you fail to be impressed

#3  hmm yoni.. that term is from india isn't it?

#1  Read the letter. This chick (a "fabric artist" no less) is one serious loon: if we reconsider the "yoni" (I'm considerin' yer yoni right now, babe), we can begin to counteract the evil masculine/patriarchial brutality in the world and begin the healing journey. LOL! You gotta love it; I'm sure the jihadis do. What planet is she from again?
