Not necessarily what you were expecting, huh?






As left-brained, conserva-libertarian suburbanites, one can imagine that womens’ studies and feminism are not our strong suit. However, we’ve had a mad crush on Camille Paglia, our imaginary lesbian Western Classicist girlfriend, for years.


The lede from the Wall St. Journal:


'What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia. This self-described "notorious Amazon feminist" isn't telling anyone to Lean In or asking Why Women Still Can't Have It All. No, her indictment may be as surprising as it is wide-ranging: The military is out of fashion, Americans undervalue manual labor, schools neuter male students, opinion makers deny the biological differences between men and women, and sexiness is dead. And that's just 20 minutes of our three-hour conversation.



Judging by the way social media has been blowing up over the linked article over the weekend, it’s like everybody has just awakened to what she has been saying for over two decades.
