Sommers seems to have two concerns, one about the sexual explicitness or 'vulgarity' of these events and performances, and another about the V-day play as anti-male. But she does not really identify how this stuff is anti-male. I'm assuming that she is simply assuming that any focused examination of men's violence against women is necessarily anti-male. I'd disagree. It's entirely possible to conduct such an examination, whether in a play or otherwise, while continuing to believe that most men are not violent, that most men treat women with love and respect, that all men have this potential, and that men do not have a monopoly on violent behaviour.
