Camille Paglia Quote

Masculinity must fight off effeminacy day by day. Woman and nature stand ever ready to reduce the male to boy and infant.” ―Camille Paglia Source/Notes: Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (1990) |
![]() | “American feminism's nose dive began when Kate Millet, that imploding beanbag of poisonous self-pity, declared Freud a sexist. Trying to build a sex theory without studying Freud, women have made nothing but mud pies.” ―Camille Paglia Source/Notes: Sex, Art and American Culture : New Essays (1992) |
