There’s at least one thing I like about Paglia. She really seems to piss off some people. Marc ---

I’d wait for the middle of a long and fast-moving thread and then I’d just mention the name esprix, and chuckle while picturing him having to read the whole thread just to find out who was talking about him. Fuck you, you hairy ape. Esprix ---

I say we make it like a prisoner exchange: the liberals shunt Camille Paglia off to some country of deaf-mutes, and the conservatives do the same with William Bennett. Everybody wins!😃 ---

“There are some people who we just do not want to be gay, and I will name names. Camille Paglia! _Stop her!_… Agh! We should be able to make trades now, like in sports. Let’s just trade Camille back to the straight side and in return, Meryl Streep. What do you say?” - Maggie Cassella ---

Hey pepper…some of us do like Camille Paglia. I for one just haven’t seen a whole lot of really substantive criticism here, and as a rule I don’t like to hang out in the pit anyway. And when I tried to engage on the subject in GD (way back when), I essentially got no response. If you would like to discuss the subject elsewhere I would be happy to. ---

HEY! That’s not a stick. A girl’s gotta keep her house keys SOMEwhere. And I would BE a talking head more often if a certain goddam jealous writer in L.A. didn’t keep blacklisting me . . . As for Camille (Paglia, not Marguerite Gautier), she has been added to the List of People I Wish Weren’t On My Side: Embarrassing Feminist: Camille Paglia Embarrassing Leftie: Michael Moore Embarrassing Atheist: the late Madalyn Murray O’Hair [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/camille-paglia-shut-up/74376.md?page=1)
