“Paglia argued that active programs in the field were thrown together out of the urgency to highlight women’s issues in the curriculum of the American academy. “
If that is the case, I guess that explains black and lgbtlmnop studies programs. As far as I’m concerned a woman majoring in women’s studies must be a moron and the company that would hire her even bigger morons.
And I thought the English department was pretty useless! Gender studies? How about a White Privilege department?
Essentially, there should be zero government financing of anything that is not directly related to something the student can use to make a living. If you say Journalism, I don’t think that qualifies. Political studies? Not on money borrowed from the government, thank you.
The main aim of “gender studies” fanatics seems to be that all males should be castrated, one way or another.
Why are there no White Studies? Men departments? Heterosexual courses?
Camilla Paglia and Jordan Peterson—a great combo for raising the alarm.
Schools/colleges are nothing but political indoctrination centers to raise and army of social justice warriors.
Camille Paglia is a cultural jewel. I have always admired her erudition and common sense. What she says is spot on. How can "Women's Studies" exist without a solid foundation in biology? Biology is science; political bullshit/identity politics is not.
"Gender Studies" is junk education, as the "Snowflake"/Safe Places hysterical places crises can attest.
Rush Limbaugh has referred to this book over the years when engaging serious discussion, as the title is often dismissed out of ignorance.
The book is not what the ignorant assume; it is serious and it is seminal. It starkly establishes the huge error of adopting the misleading word, "gender" into any serious discussion of a biological fact.
Male and female human beings are fundamentally different, if complementary.
No emotional, hysterical hissy fits can eliminate nature.
Students take on enormous debts for the opportunity to be “educated” at PC-obsessed universities and colleges.

She should become a republican.
