Camille Paglia Blames Dems for Destroying Journalism — ‘It Is Going to Take Decades to Recover’

| 6/21/2017 | Jeff Poor
Tuesday on Sean Hannity’s nationally syndicated radio show, author and University of the Arts professor of humanities and media studies Camille Paglia railed against the current state of journalism in America. Paglia called what she said the Democratic Party had done to journalism “absolutely grotesque” and warned it would take decades to
recover. “It’s obscene,” she said. “It’s outrageous, OK? It shows that the Democrats are nothing now but words and fantasy and hallucination and Hollywood. There’s no journalism left. What’s happened to The New York Times? What’s happened to the major networks? It’s an outrage.” “I’m a professor of...

Camille Paglia: On Trump, Democrats, Transgenderism, and Islamist Terror
|

The Weekly Standard ^
| Jun 15, 2017 | Jonathan V. Last
In a wide-ranging interview Paglia talks about Donald Trump's successes, how Chuck Schumer emboldened the "resistance," why the left can't condemn Islamist terrorism, and "the cold biological truth that sex changes are impossible." Camille
Paglia is one America's smartest and most fearless writers. Like Elvis, she's the kind of superstar who really needs no introduction—though it is worth pointing out that Pantheon has just published a collection of her essays on sex, gender, and feminism, titled Free Women, Free Men. It's fantastic and if you love her work, it's must-reading. (And there's another collection due out in the Fall of...

Camille Paglia: Hillary Clinton 'is a completely hollow woman'

Washington Examiner ^
| 5/19/2017 | Emily Jashinsky
"She is a completely hollow woman," Camille Paglia said, reflecting on Hillary Clinton's disastrous bid for the presidency six months after the former secretary of state fell to Donald Trump. In an interview with the Washington Examiner on Tuesday, Paglia, who voted for Jill Stein in November, recalled red flags from the
earliest days of Clinton's candidacy, pointing to her dependence upon artificial policy positions carefully manufactured in Brooklyn with the help of polls and focus groups. "Hillary, when she first declared that she was a candidate," the bestselling author explained, "they asked her about her policies... and she refused...

Camille Paglia: Democrats are colluding with the media to create chaos

Washington Examiner ^
| 16 May 2017 | Emily Jashinsky
Camille Paglia is much more worried about the media than about the steady string of Trump-related scandals they claim to be uncovering. In
a Tuesday interview with the Washington Examiner, Paglia excoriated the press for its coverage of Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey and his alleged sharing of classified information with Russian officials. Fresh off a spirited panel with Christina Hoff Sommers hosted by the Independent Women's Forum, the iconic feminist dissident, who serves as a professor of media studies at the University of the Arts, accused journalists of colluding with the Democratic Party in an effort...

New York Times columnist Frank Bruni moderates a 'Times Talks' discussion between legendary feminist Camille Paglia and 'Watch What Happens Live' host Andy Cohen about life in the Trump era. Paglia
says Bruni's newspaper and the Democratic Party still have "soul searching" left to do about why they called 2016 wrong. "It is incumbent upon the defeated party to pull itself together, or else we're going to get the reelection of the present administration," she said. "I didn't take him seriously at all," she said about the early days of the Trump campaign. "And then, shortly after the very first...

Camille Paglia: Women Aren’t Free Until Speech Is

Time Magazine ^
| March 21, 2017 | Camille Paglia
History moves in cycles. The plague of political correctness and assaults on free speech that erupted in the 1980s and were beaten back in the 1990s have returned with a vengeance. In
the United States, the universities as well as the mainstream media are currently patrolled by well-meaning but ruthless thought police, as dogmatic in their views as agents of the Spanish Inquisition. We are plunged once again into an ethical chaos where intolerance masquerades as tolerance and where individual liberty is crushed by the tyranny of the group. The premier principles of my new book, Free Women, Free Men,...

Camille Paglia Says Sheryl Sandberg Is ‘Smug and Entitled’
|

Washington Free Beacon ^
| 3/15/2017 | Sam Dorman
Controversial feminist and author Camille Paglia slammed Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg as "insufferably smug," and said her book about women in the workplace was "dishonest." Paglia
alleged that Sandberg concealed her "affluent lifestyle" in the book Lean In, according to a Tuesday interview in Broadly. Sandberg's feminism, according to Paglia, reflected the "excessively bourgeois or white middle-class assumptions" undergirding contemporary feminist thought. "I thought her bestselling book, Lean In, was utterly dishonest in failing to acknowledge how the affluent lifestyle of women executives like herself requires a rotating squad of servants and nannies, whom she has carefully kept invisible," Paglia...

Camille Paglia Denounces ‘Snide, Anti-Male, Feminist Rhetoric’ In Interview
|

Breitbart ^
| 15 Mar 2017 | ALLUM BOKHARI
In a comment that will no doubt outrage the feminist left, Paglia praised men for taking on the most dangerous jobs in society. It
is an absolute outrage how so many pampered, affluent, upper-middle-class professional women chronically spout snide anti-male feminist rhetoric, while they remain completely blind to the constant labor and sacrifices going on all around them as working-class men create and maintain the fabulous infrastructure that makes modern life possible in the Western world. Only a tiny number of women want to enter the trades where most of the nitty-gritty physical work is actually going on—plumbing, electricity,...

Camille Paglia Predicted 2017: What the ’90s provocateur understands about the Trump era

New York Magazine ^
| March 7, 2017 | Molly Fischer
Most media writers today would not treat a philosopher like Camille Paglia with the proper respect. They'd
either dilute her insights into a lifeless Wiki-style summary, or springboard off her deeply-reasoned ideas to pen their own sophomoric babble. So I congratulate writer Molly Fischer for breaking the mould and sculpting a magnificent portrait of Paglia. This story -- based on a three and a half hour interview with Paglia at a nameless New York restaurant -- brims with intellectual boldness, humorous anecdotes, and flashbacks across Paglia's long and controversial career as a free-thinker. I will not insult the intelligence...

Talking to Camille Paglia is like approaching a machine gun: madness to stick your head up and ask a question, unless you want your brain blown apart by the answer, but a visceral delight to watch as she obliterates every subject in sight. Most
of the time she does this for kicks. It’s only on turning to Hillary Clinton that she perpetrates an actual murder: of Clinton II’s most cherished claim, that her becoming 45th president of the United States would represent a feminist triumph. ‘In order to run for president of the United States, you have to spend two...

Suddenly weÂ’re talking again and in very different ways about sexual culture on campus. Comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher talk about the return of a stifling political correctness. And...

It’s not about sexism: Camille Paglia on Trump, Hillary’s “restless bitterness” and the end of the elites Is it 1968 all over again? Violent
clashes between antiwar protestors and Chicago police during the 1968 Democratic Convention boomeranged against the New Left and sabotaged the presidential hopes of the Democratic nominee, Hubert Humphrey, a genial, compassionate populist. The American electorate, repelled by street chaos, veered to the Right and made Richard M. Nixon president. The new crossover Nixon Democrats laid the groundwork for the two conservative presidencies of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. In our current campaign, the obvious strategy by...

Truncated title. Full title: Camille Paglia: Hillary Clinton’s Brand of Feminism ‘Defines Women as Perpetual Victims’ Could Cost Her Election Feminist provocateur Camille Paglia says Hillary Clinton’s adoption of a “blame-men-first” brand of feminism that “defines women as perpetual victims” who need protection and salvation from the government could be costly to
her campaign. Writing at Salon, Paglia – the author of Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars – asserts that Clinton adopted the “second-wave” brand of feminism – propagated by the “telegenic” Gloria Steinem, who stated, “A woman needs a man like a fish...
