Why I like Camille Paglia

Aside from the fact she's one of the brightest women in contemporary America and a libertarian?

The fact that she verbally beat up Naomi Wolf (who's last book I read, Promiscuities, was just crap. When I was a raging feminist, I agreed with the tripe.. now, it's just 200 pages of whining.. I'm actually glad that my review of it disappeared on amazon.com.)

Particularly her one of her last chapters in Promiscuities. Wolf writes about how special her wedding day was.. not because she was getting married. Or taking part in some some sort of ceremony that has been practiced for ages. Nooooo.. that would be too mundane. Why was it special? Because for once in her life, she wasn't easy to get at.

Huh?

Well, all the buttons and zippers on her wedding dress made her body inaccessible and fully covered.. as opposed to the shorts and crop tops she would wear on a regular basis to the beach.

Dearheart, I have news for you, it's really easy to cover up and and not look like a frumpy doll. My mom said (and we've all heard it) "Why would men buy the cow when they can get the milk for free?"

But that's another point. Naomi "Make Al Gore an Alpha Male" Wolf isn't getting any press so now she has to drudge up some allegation that she and some other Yale women were harrassed 20+ years ago and Yale isn't going to do anything about it. So she told New York Magazine. Wah... uppity rich feminists who say that it's ok to display their bodies and then get upset when they are looked at?! PUH-LEEZE!

My guess: Naomi made the whole thing up.. after all, the patriarchy made Dr. Bloom do it. And we women are just constantly squashed under the patriarchy and constant victims of harrassment and sexual violence (due to the masculine influence in our culture).

There are men and women who are harrassed, who are abused, and who are victimized.. and Naomi Wolf is bad for them.
