Camille can fuck off- she's the worst friend liberals, lesbians and feminists have ever had. Her idiocy in the recent Salon piece was a pathetic example of the empress having no clothes. She's more full of herself and full of shit than BoBo- and that's saying something.
What we have here, fellow citizens, is a crassly egocentric, raving twit. The Norman Podhoretz of our gender. That this woman is actually taken seriously as a thinker in New York intellectual circles is a clear sign of decadence, decay, and hopeless pinheadedness. Has no one in the nation's intellectual capital the background and ability to see through a web of categorical assertions? One fashionable line of response to Paglia is to claim that even though she may be fundamentally off-base, she has "flashes of brilliance." If so, I missed them in her oceans of swill.
One of her latest efforts at playing enfant terrible in intellectual circles was a peppy essay for Newsday, claiming that either there is no such thing as date rape or, if there is, it's women's fault because we dress so provocatively. Thanks, Camille, I've got some Texas fraternity boys I want you to meet.
There is one area in which I think Paglia and I would agree that politically correct feminism has produced a noticeable inequity. Nowadays, when a woman behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, "Poor dear, it's probably PMS." Whereas, if a man behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, "What an asshole."
Let me leap to correct this unfairness by saying of Paglia,
Sheesh, what an asshole.

Molly Ivins said it best…

Paglia is the worst kind of pseudo-intellectual wanker, and always has been.
I used to like reading Paglia's stuff when I was younger, but wow did she ever fall off the intellectual cliff at some point.
I think she hungers for a Pasolini style gotterdammerung. Or maybe just some relevance.
