The Vaginal Knitting Lady Strikes Back (NSFW)

I told you guys last week about performance artist and yeast infection sufferer Casey Jenkins and her performance piece "Casting Off My Womb", also known as "vaginal knitting". What is that, you ask? Well, Casey spent a whole month knitting a long scarf with wool that was shoved inside her vagina. Yes, even at that time of the month. Many people, including me, reacted with "ew" and "Why?" and "that's how you get a rash!" Casey has hit back at us naysayers in a thing she wrote for the Guardian. She never bothers to explain what she was trying to prove with the piece or what it represented, merely that we just didn't get it:

"The response to the clip was immediate, massive and, for the most part, negative, marked with fear and repulsion. The word "ick" features heavily, as do "eww", "gross" and "whyyyy?"...Commentators seem to be genuinely outraged that I would dare to do something that they view as strange and repulsive with my body without displaying shame...Women putting themselves forward in any capacity in the world is frowned upon, and for a woman to put herself forward in a way that is not designed to be attractive or pleasing is downright seditious. People are incensed!"

People aren't mad at your defying gender roles or whatever with your daring bit of genital crochet. They just think it's stupid and gross. It's so easy and boring to try and be edgy by using your vagina as a weapon. "Oooh, look at me I'm so transgressive!" You, my dear, are stuck in the "art school" mentality where you are always trying to scare the stiffs, (IE. piss off your parents), for no other reason than the fact that you get off on the attention. Maybe daddy didn't love you enough or perhaps mommy was too busy working to spend enough time with you. I guess the "look at me I'm so edgy" inclination is what drives all "performance art". More like self-centered psuedo-intellectual wankery, if you ask me.
