Strip away the trappings and you are left with the fact that both women are writers. Paglia uses her words to construct banal prose, Swift uses her words to construct playful poetry set to musical accompaniment. Even as Paglia is likely four times Swift in age and has probably produced hundreds of thousands of more words, it is Swift who has touched more ears and excited more minds with her writings.

Looking at the two of them, clearly Paglia is am embittered, venomous shrew. She is jealous that after a lifetime of producing what she considers serious and important research, the younger, livelier and popular Swift is more quotable.

I do not know Taylor Swift. I have only heard a blurb or two about her and she seems like a decent pop star that puts out her bubble gum music and people really enjoy her work.

IF I were Taylor Swift’s confidant all I would advise her to say is...

“Hey Camille. This is my bank account from making pop music that make people happy. What have you accomplished?”

Or better yet Limbaugh’s undeniable truth #24 “ Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society”

Camille Paglia is a national treasure.

Taylor Swift ain't.

Feminism is about being a victim. Swift refuses to play the role. Hence “Motormouth’’ Paglia’s cheap shot(and the fact that Paglia would love to jump Swifts bones).

Odd Constitution she's using there.

My only knock on Swift is the company she keeps. They’ll mess up her mind. It always happens. There’s a certain skank named Lena.

I don’t know her music but everything I’ve heard about Swift as a person has been positive. She’s not the “seen leaving a club at 4am drunk” type. More like the “seen leaving the children’s hospital before heading to her show” type.

"Camille Paglia published a shockingly scathing attack on Swift, calling her a blond, elitist Nazi Barbie."

Paglia looks like an old shoe that the dog's been chewin'.

Taylor must have refused Camille’s advances.
