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 can understand having a problem with the loudmouthed contrarian thing (and this is something that I've read of her elsewhere), and I can definitely get being bothered by the rape issue (I do think that on some level it's inevitable, as is say, murder, but I don't think that giving up trying to prevent it really follows).

I may make myself unpopular here, but on some levels I would agree that pedophiles are discriminated against. I also feel that a distinction needs to be drawn between those who have unpopular or inappropriate sexual attractions and those who act on them to the detriment of young children. The first I would consider pedophiles and the second group I would call as child molesters and sex offenders. Because there IS a difference between having a psychological disorder, and being influenced by that disorder to commit crimes.
