"and I'm imagining meeting Paglia at a party and initially being like wow this person's so interesting and rad, and then the more she talks that "how do I end this conversation" feeling starts setting in, an hour later as she's still ranting about pussies being shellfish and chythonian transvestites "

"That emrata completely misused that Camille Paglia quote from Sexual Personae?? It's so obvious that she just read from Paglia's wiki quote page and has not read any of her work."

"I just started today and got through the chapter "Sex and Violence, or Art and Nature" and it's steeped deeeeep in the sexual metaphor of woman/nature vs man/society, woman/emotion vs man/rationalism. So much so that I'm having trouble wanting to continue the book at all."

"Last night I finally got around to reading the beginning of Camille Paglia's *Sexual Personae* and she talks about how men bonded together to invent culture as a defense against female nature."
