Is Camille Paglia insane?

Question

I read somewhere she said she can understand why men rape women because she often has lesbian urges and when women send her mixed signals she can imagine if she were stronger or had penis might possibly do the same. What is wrong with this woman?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Camille Paglia's not "crazy"...she just doesn't spew the usual politcally correct crap that gives feminism a bad name. She actually thinks issues through and takes into account human nature and realism.

Answer 2

I have never read any such thing from Paglia. You will have to post evidence for that.

Answer 3

Yes, she is.

If she were on the radio, I'd call her a shock jock.

No substance, endless words, clear lack of academic prose, borderline right winging ideals.

On the list of "feminists in antifeminist clothing" to listen to, she'd be at the bottom right next to that idiot Hoff-Sommers

Answer 4

what decade is she from?

i find it quite fascinating that nobody discusses contemporary writers but would rather rehash the 70s....mostly the unpleasant aspects (but never the chauvinists mind you--only the feminists are fodder).

Answer 5

i find her views fascinating. she's not crazy, but definitely unique.

Answer 6

I would have to say she has some serious mental issues going on!

Answer 7

I suppose she does indeed have some serious issues.

Answer 8

She's definitely bat sh!t insane.


And a misogynist.

Answer 9

She's got a screw loose. It would be funny if she ended up getting raped.
