… an arc of transcendence. A woman merely waters the ground she stands on.
Above quote is by Camille Paglia from her book, Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Neferti to Emily Dickinson, Yale University and Penguin Books, 1991, pp. 20-1.
Dopers , what do you think of the above statement ?
Those who read her books ,what is your impression about her ?
It was a proud day when I learned to piss on things.
It’s silly and pointless.
There is no greater joy than pissing in majestic places.
But beware, twice I have been busted for pissing in majestic places. Well, actually once – the other time the cop let me off with a warning. And who knew pissing down old faithful was illegal? OK, OK there were signs…but really if it weren’t for the signs, I probably would never have thought of it. OK, I would have…but still…
Seconded.
Her whole shtick kind of irritates me. It felt like she was saying that feminists should be grateful that men came up with culture in spite of all their destructiveness and so forth. Meh.
My objection comes from a romanticization of a minor structural difference in modes of excretion. Seems just sort of uneducated and, well, Vogon.
Males as Vogons…It fits us somehow. Nah, we don’t even like poetry.
Nono. Paglia’s the Vogon.
When you get to be my age this rings true indeed.
I’m sending you an invoice for a new keyboard, Monitor and a large coffee. 
There is no greater joy than pissing **ON **majestic places.
What, it’s on her bucket list?
Wow, what a load o’ crap. It almost sounds like a parody.
She is a douche.
She is aware, is she not, that women and men alike are capable of peeing standing up, and that, while men may have (potentially) better aim, women can actually achieve greater distances?
P-Mate is the great equalizer.
I walked through ankle deep mud today so that I could piss in a lake rather then on a bush. It is wondrous to be able to piss on things.
Dude, that is awesome! I went through a phase in my teens where I tried to pee standing up, and it is possible but my aim was bad. I might try practicing that some more…
Well, maybe but they have to work much harder and awkwardly to achieve an optimal 45 degree angle of departure.
