My first impression of reading this book was that it was very different from the Vagina Monologues. I thought the VM were more blunt and out there. It made you come out of your comfort zone and read something that was very real and raw. But the EC is a little bit differet. I think this book is geared towards young girls you are growing up. Whereas the VM is for an older audience.
One of the issues that I think is in the EC is that girls fitting it and thinking that they have to be a certain way in order to get into the "in" crowd. In reality it is alot more challenging for girls to fit in with other girls, then it is for guys to fit in. There are always going to be different standards when it comes to guys vs girls. For example in the story, "Don't,cairo Egypt." it says "Dont lose your virginity." Sex is different for girls then it is for guys. When girls have sex with someone they are looked as being a whore or a slut, and they should not be doing something like that. But when guys have sex, they are praised for it.
