In reply to the discussion: Camille Paglia: A Feminist Defense of Masculine Virtues [View all]BainsBane
(57,714 posts)7. Since we're going with RW arguments on gender roles, let's ramp it up
Schlafly told Time magazine in 1978, "I have cancelled speeches whenever my husband thought that I had been away from home too much."[34]
In March 2007, Schlafly said in a speech at Bates College, "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape."[35]
She has called Roe v. Wade "the worst decision in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court" and said that it "is responsible for the killing of millions of unborn babies".[37]
According to an article in the March 28, 2007 edition of the Washington Post, "New Drive Afoot to Pass Equal Rights Amendment," Schlafly was then working towards the defeat of a new version of the Equal Rights Amendment: "Today, she warns lawmakers that its passage would compel courts to approve same-sex marriages and deny Social Security benefits for housewives and widows."[28]

Nice to see the pretense dropped that there is anything progressive about such positions.

Paglia's been beating this drum for 20 years...she's a slightly better educated Ann Coulter

I've never been able to distinguish between Paglia and Coulter or Phyllis Shaffley

Camille Paglia has either made a profession of trolling or is painfully stupid.
