message: The article seems to imply rather strongly that to advocate V-Day is to advocate peace, safety and human rights, while to want Valentine's Day is to be narrow-minded, shallow, and uncaring. JorgeMacD 04:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not sure what you mean.  It's not "Gender Equality Day," it's V-Day... it's to stop violence against women and girls.  They're not saying that men being hurt is a good thing, any more than someone raising money for breast cancer is therefore a big fan of colon cancer.--Agbdavis 07:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I moved the other usages back to the very top, but this should just be a disambiguation page with redirects to things called "V-Day", including "V-Day (feminism)". --70.234.37.206 04:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Though far from perfect, I have attempted to re-write the article so that it reflects the topic at hand, rather than acting as an essential commercial/apologia for the topic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.169.82.93 (talk) 06:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Empowerment
Many have applauded the Vagina Monologues and V-Day for its ability to make women feel empowered.  The play leaves many women feeling like they can change the world and that they can make the changes in their own lives that are necessary for them to better themselves.  This literary work has been said to help inspire women to heal from past violent encounters or to become leaders in their own communities.
Solidarity
The movement is meant to bring women together.  It is meant to help women to celebrate themselves, appreciate themselves, and to learn their self worth.  V-Day provides an outlet to bring women together and to help them deal with their own issues and problems by learning from those around them.  Through one unified movement, many are able to consolidate their goals and ideas and find common ground through the need for gender equality.
Standpoint Theory
Standpoint theory is based on the idea that one person cannot sincerely empathize with another individual unless they have been through the same issues.  The Vagina Monologues attempts to bridge the gap between individuals by providing them with in-depth details and backgrounds about one another's lives in an attempt to grow empathy for one another and to put themselves in one another's shoes.
Intersectionality
This movement brings many other factors into the discussion than just gender.  V-Day takes an individual's race, religion, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, social class, and gender into account.  V-Day makes people aware that there are people living in certain conditions different than others and that those conditions may be more conducive to violence and oppression.  Because V-Day is a global movement it is important to take all of these factors into account when organizing protests, marches, and community programs.
