CAMILLE PAGLIA, the pro-pornography, pro-prostitution, atheist critic of feminists, is a wonder of false opposition. Her contradictions are dizzying. Feminism is “authoritarian” and “puritanical,” Paglia asserts. Feminism certainly is authoritarian (and puritanical in some ways), but the denial of male and female as spiritual and biological realities is radical and inhuman. It cannot but lead to authoritarianism. That’s the only way to stop men and women from being men and women — or to offer them the possibility of transcending these categories. Paglia’s libertarian freedom is a denial of male and female too.

Paglia even says that Nature is “fascist,” and thus human beings must be fascist too:

My argument (as in my first book, “Sexual Personae,”) has always been that nature has a master plan pushing every species toward procreation and that it is our right and even obligation as rational human beings to defy nature’s fascism.

[…]

The state in my view has no authority whatever to intervene in the biological processes of any woman’s body, which nature has implanted there before birth and hence before that woman’s entrance into society and citizenship.

How can someone have a lucrative, celebrity academic career and believe something so dumb as that inanimate, non-thinking “Nature” is the Creator of all before us and can even create thought? Paglia is part of the problem of authoritarian feminism. Just notice the puritanical way she dresses in the interview above. What could be more authoritarian (and puritanical in the sense of, deadening and dreary) than the belief that a human being is an “implant” by “Nature.” If Paglia herself is an implant, then why the heck should we care what she thinks? It’s all just the blind operation of fascist “Nature.” You see what I mean? The lesbian professor is nothing but a non-stop headache despite her perceptive insights into the sheer lunacy and totalitarianism of other celebrity feminists.
