Jackson Hole Women Open Up

By Lauren M. Whaley, 2-28-07

My friend Tiff is on a quest to reclaim some of her feminine real estate. I call it her Pussy Project.

She hopes people will use the word like they use “sick,” “sweet” and “cool.” As in, “the face shots on that last ski run were soooo pussy” and, “Grinding with you last night at Eleanor’s was pus-sy!”

“Why do men use it as a put down when they spend their whole lives chasing it?” she asks.

Recently, at 43 North, she presented her case to a table of men, one of whom replied, “That’s a super-pussy idea.” But would he really dive in and use the term? Or was he just giving it lip service?

Tiff’s pussy project dovetails nicely with an upcoming local performance of the Vagina Monologues, as part of the global V-Day campaign to prevent violence against women and girls.

Doors for the performance open wide at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Mainstage Theater. Shows start at 8 p.m.
