Camille Paglia
Besides Trump, this woman is one of my heroes. Used to hear about her at Trek conventions, and from a group of women known as the Philadelphia Crew with whom I hung around, Philly being where she teaches. The fandom women I loved tended to be academic types, always analyzing, researching who we were and what we did, and writing about fandom and why we loved it. I was interviewed for a number of books in those days, and Paglia was, I believe, hanging around some of the conventions so she was frequently mentioned.
Paglia blows every norm you try to develop to pigeonhole people. Hated Obama. Wouldn’t vote for Hillary. I’m more a libertarian than a pure conservative, so I adore what this woman tries to do, even when I disagree with some particular view she expresses.
Wikipedia:
Paglia characterizes herself as a libertarian. She opposes laws against prostitution, pornography, drugs, and abortion, and is also opposed to affirmative action laws. Some of her views have been characterized as conservative. She is critical of current transgender discourse and has long rejected what she describes as “the political agenda that has slowly accrued” around the issue of climate change. ... In 2017, she stated that she is a registered Democrat who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary and for Jill Stein in the 2016 general election.

Hasbro Has a New ‘Monopoly: Socialism’ Game and Socialists Are Not Happy
By John Ellis
FTA:
And, Nick, by the time I read, “when you pass go, you get a $50 ‘living wage,’ which was presumably reduced from the usual $200 to emphasize that ‘socialism makes everyone poorer’ or somesuch,” I knew that I would be making a patriarchal rule that the only game played in my house on game night henceforth will be Hasbro’s Monopoly: Socialism. Thanks to your Twitter meltdown, I get to incorporate both fun and education into family game night.
