The only lesbian feminist I'll listen to.
Her work is incredible
I guess if you support "man-boy" love and some child pornography she might be incredible. For most of us we will pass on that shit.
Yeah I just learned about that after I recommended her. Will not be recommending her again.
Ok
“In the case of Sinéad O’Connor: child abuse was justified.”
To avoid I presume is it?
“Because what is wrong with some mild sex play? What is the big deal? You know I can see forbidding, or being concerned about, situations where a larger man is convincing a small boy to let him have anal intercourse with him. I can see why people might start to be concerned about this, because does this young child I'm talking about a really young child, say, eight years old is he really cognizant about what is going on here, what anal intercourse is. But just sex play? What is wrong? I feel I have a radical sixties libertarian position on this question. I fail to see what is wrong with erotic fondling with any age. That's the direction I would go right now. I mean the anal inter course thing, that's going to be a hard sell for a thousand years probably. But I would really want to push the issue of what is wrong with”
A reader had written Paglia a letter, asking her what she thought of Ginsberg's support for NAMBLA, to which Paglia replied: "As far as Ginsberg's pro-NAMBLA stand goes, this is one of the things I most admire him for. I have repeatedly protested the lynch-mob hysteria that dogs the issue of man-boy love. In 'Sexual Personae,' I argued that male pedophilia is intricately intertwined with the cardinal moments of Western civilization." She argued that Ginsberg was "the apostle of a truly visionary sexuality," explaining that from a pagan perspective "Ginsberg's celebration of boy-love was pure and sinless, demonstrating the limitations of Judeo-Christian paradigms of sexuality."
Man that is rough, I like her views on academic Marxism, but was unaware of this bullshit.
Really Hodl? 🤔
"In 1993, Paglia signed a manifesto supporting NAMBLA, a pederasty and pedophilia advocacy organization. In 1994, Paglia supported lowering the legal age of consent to 14. She noted in a 1995 interview with pro-pedophile activist Bill Andriette, "I fail to see what is wrong with erotic fondling with any age. "In a 1997 Salon column, Paglia expressed the view that male pedophilia correlates with the heights of a civilization, stating "I have repeatedly protested the lynch-mob hysteria that dogs the issue of man-boy love."
