Ahahahaha

I just stumbled on this quote--my darling Molly talking about Camille Paglia:

There is one area in which I think Paglia and I would agree that politically correct feminism has produced a noticeable inequity. Nowadays, when a woman behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, "Poor dear, it's probably PMS."' Whereas, if a man behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, "What an asshole." Let me leap to correct this unfairness by saying of Paglia, Sheesh, what an asshole.

I love her. :)

I have such a dissonance with Paglia because I like a lot of her literary theory, even if she did talk me into reading The Faerie Queene...wait, nevermind.
