Gay men draw vaginas

After I did, everyone at our table gawked at it, critiqued it. In our video, we laugh when we call the project "gay vagina anthropology," but that really is how we think of it. I heard the word “vagina.” What I saw was a wattle. Maybe Neil Patrick Harris, Perez Hilton, John Waters, or George Takei would be interested.

Scroll down for the ones with artists’ statements.

Is this project an attempt to get gay men to confront those stereotypes (and any truth behind them) and, if so, how?Wilson and O'Malley: We've encountered misogyny from some artists in the way they've interacted with us at our public art-making booths.

Before you get all PC-sensitive about this (like some did with this video) and start throwing around the M-word (misogyny), please watch the video featuring creators Shannon O'Malley and Keith Wilson poking their heads through Annie Sprinkle's vulva [link NSFW], and realize that this is all in good fun.

It's about gathering data and presenting a phenomenon. (She mentioned “internal genitals” as an alternative.) When Plimpton insisted that she would continue to say “vagina,” her feed filled up with indignation. First, there's "the implicit assumption that gay men will find vulvas/vaginas ludicrous or mystifying." But Gantz's primary objection to "Gay Men Draw Vaginas" is this:

The more glaring omission—and the more dangerous one—is gay men who happen to have, or used to have, vaginas.

FISH SMELL," but she just collected the drawing and moved on. Those red bits under a turkey’s neck were like the skin of a vagina. Now they're looking to put out a coffee-table book of the hundreds of drawings they've collected called Gay Men Draw Vaginas, and some of the images are, in fact, quite hilarious. What are the odds that they would stand accused of inducing dysphoria in trans men, ordered to change the name of the book to "Gay Men Draw Front Holes," and accused of transphobia if they refused?

After a few unenlightened comments came out of the mouths of the gay men, Shannon asked me to draw a vagina on the table with a crayon. The light emanating behind her was inspired by portraits of the Virgin of Guadalupe. He made a great contribution—his drawing is of this punky, young, twinky gay guy, posing like a porn star, his hips thrust forward, and he's got a vagina.

As a gay man, she was my idol growing up, and I was listening to her earlier in the day. I saw everything! Then Keith's boyfriend drew one. Ultimately, though, we hope people do a lot of things; we hope they'll laugh, we hope they'll think about what it means to identify as a "gay man," we hope they'll think about ideas our culture has about bodies and body parts.

Then his boyfriend drew one, and it was way prettier but way more inaccurate.
