To many, February 14 is a day about love and romance, but to Vagina Monologues creator Eve Ensler and likeminded feminists, it’s a day about the oppression of women. So why do American universities buy in to Ensler’s message and marketing of “V-Day” merchandise and fixation with sexual violence? Jon Sanders explored the question in a commentary published at Front Page Magazine. “The answer is, they’re American universities, and the peddler of those ideas, Eve Ensler, knew her audience well and crafted a marketing plan for them that was nothing short of brilliant. Those of us in what the students call “the real world,” of course, necessarily think it’s stark lunacy,” he wrote. Sanders’ column was also seen by radio host Michael Reagan, who clearly liked it. His web site established a link to the Front Page Magazine posting.
