"hair" The vagina monologues

Reading "Hair" as well as the beginning of The Vagina Monologues was an entirely new experience for me. I was a little shocked at what i was reading about which i thought was just vagina. Even when i started reading "Hair" i was getting caught off gaurd with lines such as "when he made love to me,my vagina felt the way a beard must feel." and "i could feel his spikey sharpness sticking into me,my naked puffy vagina." it wasn't until the very last line where i started to interpret what in fact this was about. "you have to love the hair in order to love the vagina. You cant pick the parts you want. and besides, my husband never stopped screwing around." I think that shes using the vagina to symbolize love, and the hair to symbolize all the flaws. I wonder if my interpretations are right could she be saying you have to deal with the and look beyond the little flaw and perhaps even not look at it as a flaw rather something good to have love?
