There's no room for anything manly now, Controversial feminist Camille Paglia speaks out...
The Daily Mail ^ | 12/29/2013 | DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Our society is neutering boys of their maleness at a young age, while the lack of people with military experience in important positions is a recipe for disaster, claims Camille Paglia, the controversial lesbian author and social critic.

Self-described ‘dissident feminist’ Paglia, 66, believes that attempts to deny the biological distinctions between men and women is to blame for the much that is wrong with modern society.

'What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide’ she told the Wall Street Journal. Paglia, a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, is well known for her critical views on many aspects of modern culture, including feminism and liberalism.

She recently spoke out in support of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, supporting his right to express homophobic views.

‘In a democratic country, people have the right to be homophobic as well as they have the right to support homosexuality – as I one hundred percent do.

She’s a smart lady...and if I were a woman I’d be a lesbian.

She’s actually on our side in many ways, like Ayn Rand.

Why is the use of “homophobic” taken for granted in all this reporting? Phil was not in “fear” of homos; it was incredulity and disgust but not fear. There was no phobia about it.

On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when a wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. ‘I’m too young to die,’ she wails.

Then she yells, ‘Well, if I’m going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?’

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril.
They all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.

Then a cowboy from Idaho stands up in the rear of the plane. He is
handsome: tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt..........

One button at a time.........

No one moves................

He removes his shirt..............

Muscles ripple across his chest.........

She gasps....................

He whispers.................

‘Iron this... then get me a beer.’

Of course, because you can still have sex with beautiful women and you get to tee off from the women’s tee.

Because we don't control the media - the left does.

MSM - men seeking men media.

Well, sort of, in one way.

If Barry had a lesbian daughter she would look like Camille, er, er mother, er, er, older sister.

“Homophobic” has come to mean any idea that heterosexuality may actually be better for a species than any other sexuality. I figure Father’s Day and Mother’s Day will soon be criminalized as “homophobic” holidays any day now.

I’m not saying I’d be attracted to her, I’d have to get to know her libertarian tendencies for that to have happened.

I agree. She’s a classic liberal, i.e., “I may not agree with what you say but I defend your right to say and believe it.” She’s the only person in today’s left that I know of that can be described as one.

We’re surrounded by malcontents and intolerants who have the air of knowing what is best for everyone and an inability to recognize when they are wrong and admit it.

Never fear. There really are men out here once one gets past the parochial enclaves these insular people inhabit.

They do need to get out more.

We need to start calling anybody against conservatism “conservaphobic” or anybody who doesn’t like what Ted Cruz does “Texaphobic”, “malephobic”, or “Cruzophobic”.

Anybody less than enthralled with Christ or Christians should be “Christophobic”.

Anybody who says drunk driving is wrong should be called “alcophobic”. Those against speeding should be “speedophobics”. Those against tobacco should be “tobaccophobics”, or against large sugary drinks should be “gulpophobics”. Doctors who treat diabetes should be called “hperglycemophobic”. Cardiac doctors should be called “heartophobics”.

Etc.

By changing the terminology they are getting rid of key concepts. Specifically, in this case, the worldview that some actions are sinful. What they’re trying to get rid of is the idea of objective right and wrong. Instead, they are translating all words about sin, God, or right and wrong to mean, “You don’t like me...”

Regardless of her sins she sees a lot of what's wrong with our culture and speaks out eloquently and compellingly from a very unique perspective. She's pro-Christian in a societal sense despite not actually being one, she's pro-western values and pro-USA despite being quite liberal, she's pro-male despite being lesbian, and she's all of these despite tremendous pressure to conform from the leftists who believe themselves to own individuals such as herself. She's an ally, perhaps not in all ways but in many ways, and I'd enjoy meeting her, maybe even having a drink and a cigar as Rush Limbaugh famously did years ago.

No, they’ll just do a J.C. Penny’s and have a father’s day with two fathers and no mother. I haven’t set foot in their store since.
