#1 Ms Paglia is a unique thinker. She hates everybody...

#2 I like a lot of what she says for several reasons. First being that she rants about academic sloth, bashing her sloppy and pseudo-intellectualy peers mercilessly. Second, she is far more of the ideal of what "sexual liberation" was originally supposed to mean: the realization that sexuality in biology and culture are not the same thing, and both must be tempered with reason. We cannot obey all of our biological impulses or else we are violent animals; and we cannot obey all of the demands our culture would place on our sexuality, without some justification other than religion.

This attitude spills over into her other commentary, and is not a bad approach to serious social studies.

#3 well said, moose. She obviously had a very profound impact on someone very close to me. I hope they read this.
