I just got done watching this with my girlfriend. I loved the rest of the play but I have to say this part really made both of us cringe and feel creepy for even listening to it. I totally understand that she was only repeating a story that she had heard from another woman and that, luckily enough for the woman, the experience ended up being a positive one for her. And I understand that the point of the story was that she had shameful and horrible thoughts about her vagina and this woman supposedly helped her to deal with that. Honestly though, I'm a 27 year old and a lesbian and I can say with 100 percent certainty that I would never take advantage of anyone, let alone someone under the age of 18 or any age I feel isn't old enough to make sexual decisions. I found it disgusting that an adult woman would get a teenage girl drunk and exploit them the way this woman apparently did. Saying "Yeah, but the girl was ok after and it enriched her" or whatever people say is not an excuse. Would it be ok for a grown man to do the same thing to a young girl if afterwards the girl felt the experience was positive? No, it's still disgusting. It's gross for an adult to get another adult drunk for the sole purpose of taking advantage of them, let alone a child. Whether the kid was alright afterwards is pointless. The adult knew what she was doing was wrong and did it anyways. That's the point. Also, people are very hypocritical about molestation and rape perpetrated by women. As someone above said, if this had been the same story about the same situation with a grown man instead of a woman and the child felt they turned out ok, there would still be outrage by women's groups and feminists, as there should be. But that's a pretty irresponsible and dangerous double standard.
