Ignoring biological differences between men and women risks undermining western civilization
Ms. Paglia argues that the softening of modern American society begins as early as kindergarten. "Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys," she says, pointing to the most obvious example: the way many schools have cut recess. "They're making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters."
Camille is a cracker jack. I've enjoyed her biting commentary and no nonsense style for decades.
Here is what she said about Hillary Clinton recently.
"It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party’s best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She’s certainly busy, busy and ever on the move — with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.
I for one think it was a very big deal that our ambassador was murdered in Benghazi. In saying “I take responsibility” for it as secretary of state, Hillary should have resigned immediately. The weak response by the Obama administration to that tragedy has given a huge opening to Republicans in the next presidential election. The impression has been amply given that Benghazi was treated as a public relations matter to massage rather than as the major and outrageous attack on the U.S. that it was.
Throughout history, ambassadors have always been symbolic incarnations of the sovereignty of their nations and the dignity of their leaders.
As far as I’m concerned, Hillary disqualified herself for the presidency in that fist-pounding moment at a congressional hearing when she said, “What difference does it make what we knew and when we knew it, Senator?”

Complains US males are suffering from "devalorization"... names her son "Lucien".
Yeah, THERE is some common sense for ya
This woman doesn't know WHAT the hell she is. Just what are her "feminist" credentials? That she's an abrasive lesbian???
She may CLAIM to be a feminist, but she has spent her entire life running down REAL feminists, while promoting traditional patriarchal paradigms.
Did you even read that WSJ profile? Paglia comes off like a nut in that article.
Actually no I just saw that she was promoting traditional patriarchal paradigms and said now that is my kind of feminist. Granted when it comes to Feminist credentials.....she's no Margarate Thatcher or Sarah Palin, but she is one the media likes to put forth.

So you're going to start out a post by making fun of someone's name and then think that anything else you say is going to be seen as having any merit?

The fact that you think someone needs credentials to be a feminist indicates that you're a narrow minded ideologue. If someone's feminist ideas aren't your feminist ideas then they aren't a "real" feminist.
It's people like you that make us on the right laugh at the left's claims to be open minded and tolerant.
