My favorite take away from this story is how utterly Maureen Dowd got buried under Paglia’s crisp words. Almost no reportage on Dowd’s contribution to this debate. But then snark only lasts for a day or so before being wrapped up in newspaper and dumped in the garbage. Dowd is turning into the Rodney Dangerfield of the NYTimes.
The only thing Paglia did was get more women, especially feminists fired up. It’s divisive.
Women and feminists will read this and say, “Ah-ha! We told you what men really think of women, didn’t we? They think they are superior. They are exactly, who we thought they were! Paglia is laying it all out. Grass huts!”
Feminists are not going to back down or make any concessions just because Paglia writes an article. It was a lovely “airing of grievances” and maybe she can buy herself a Festivus pole. There are millions more like it, all over the internet. Feminists have a lot of grievances as well.
Thank you, obama, for making my life so much better.
Perhaps I need a few T shirts with the logo
