Whenever I read Paglia’s stuff, I think she sees people without gender. If you’re a dolt who propagates bad ideas or treats people badly, she will hold you accountable regardless of gender. Likewise, she has a high regard for strength of character and trueness to one’s beliefs, as we saw in her treatment of Sarah Palin. That’s why she is a refreshing read for people of all political stripes.
I don’t see how Paglia can be such an astute woman and still say she believes in the things she does. She is far left in her politics and supported Bernie despite the horrible failure of socialism. She chose her lesbian lifestyle and is a libertine when it comes to sex - this promiscuity contributes to the severe depression and STDs rampant among many feminists and lesbians. Thankfully she has been a consistent voice against the whining “feminists” who really don’t want equality but expect special treatment and access due to their girlie parts. Camille adopted a male child (not sure how old he was), and perhaps that has softened her appreciation as she sees him grow into a man.
