[On U.S. universities:] The bland leading the bland.

I believe that the shocking toll of AIDS on gay men in the West was partly due to their Seventies delusions that a world without women was possible. All-male energies, unbalanced and ravenous, literally tore the body apart.

Except for naval and air exercises, our military should be stationed on American soil, where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.

Because I'm criticizing liberalism, people automatically call me a conservative. This is madness! The idea that somehow one cannot critique liberalism from the left, from the left wing of liberalism. I mean, how can people be so stupid?

For me, the Profumo affair symbolizes the evanescence of male government compared to women's cosmic power.
Camille Paglia
Image
As a major contemporary composer, Madonna should not let the eye dictate to the ear.
Camille Paglia
Image
Male conspiracy cannot explain all female failures. I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant. Genius is not checked by social obstacles: it will overcome.

When anything goes, it's women who lose.

Butchery is not the point of vampirism. Sex - domination and submission - is.

My argument 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. Nature herself is a mass murderer, making casual, cruel experiments and condemning 10,000 to die so that one more fit will live and thrive.

Society is an artificial construction, a defense against nature's power.

Mind is a captive of the body.
