I went to college with Naomi. Camille Paglia has got her number:

""It really grates on me that Naomi Wolf for her entire life has been batting her eyes and bobbing her boobs in the face of men and made a profession out of courting male attention by flirting and offering her sexual allure."

"It was "indecent" of her to wait for 20 years "to bring all of this down on an elderly man who has health problems, to drag him into a 'he said/she said' scenario so late in the game", she raged.

""How many books, how many articles, Naomi, are you going to impose on us so we have to be dragged back to your teenage heartbreak years?"

"She added: "This is regressive. It's childish. Move on! Get on to menopause next!""

Of course, Paglia's comments were not included in the US media's reports.

Camille Paglia is dead-on. Why are feminizts like Naomi Wolf so upset about sexual harrassment? Heck when Clinton did it, it was no big deal to them. They're the the ones who do everything to get men to sexually respond them and when men do they slap them down. I think Ms. Wolf and the rest of them need to grow up and get a life!

Naomi Wolf is a big turn-off to any real man.

She'd get more acceptance with sex-change surgery. Otherwise she's doomed to none-night stands with Algore-like automatons.

>>>>>"It really smacks of the Salem witch hunts and all the accompanying hysteria," Paglia said.

That ranks as the funniest thing I've ever heard a feminist say about another feminist.

Higher learning in America...couldnt get much lower

Camille Paglia versus Naomi Wolf? Intellectually that's a tiger versus a fieldmouse. Not even fair.

The professor, who has been described as "destructively seductive"...

Man, I hate it when I get called that. <|:/~

""It really grates on me that Naomi Wolf for her entire life has been batting her eyes and bobbing her boobs in the face of men and made a profession out of courting male attention by flirting and offering her sexual allure."

Naomi's problem is that she realizes that she's no longer a cute young thing. Men will humor a cute young bubblehead, and allow her to think that she actually is an intellectual. When you get past 40, you better have some real intellectual substance, because you will no longer be humored. This is upsetting to Ms Wolf

I wonder who this imagined harasser is? I used to have a friend or two in the Yale English department, although that was a while ago. Harold Bloom, maybe? If so, he can take care of himself.

i used to watch NW on tv shows, and she always acted cute and seductive. i wonder how seductive you have to be to be "destructively seductive"?
is it only bad when guys do it, but ok when cute girls do it?
i hope somebody can report some instances from 20 yrs ago when NW acted seductively destructive. it would make a good article.

"It felt so familiar: this sense of being exposed as if in a slow-moving dream of shame," she wrote. "I could practically hear my own pulse: What had I done, done, done?"

Well, for starters, you allowed a professor into your home. That kind of blurs the lines between "professional" and easy lay. Second, if someone really walked into your home and grabbed your crotch, as an adult person, why on earth were you asking yourself, "What did I do?"

I would think, "Why you disgusting filthy pig!" and the smacking around with whatever was handy would commence. But, I'm not a bimbo.

Haven't seen her book, but if Wolf made specific allegations against a named or readily identifiable professor, she could be sued for a lot of money. If she can't show those allegations to be truthful, she will lose.

I don't think there is anything sillier, or more laughable than what the feminist movement has become. What started out as a noble ploy for equal rights, has become angry feminist that have achieved equal rights bashing their heads against the wall trying to become men. Ladies, our culture doesn't need two versions of men, we need two equal but different partners. Men and women are different, face it, they should have canned the gender wars back in grade school.
