"This gender myopia has become a disease, a substitute for a religion...."

Paglia: I am an equal-opportunity feminist.
I believe that all barriers to women's advancement in the social and political realm must be removed. However, I don't feel that gender is sufficient to explain all of human life. This gender myopia has become a disease, a substitute for a religion, this whole cosmic view. It's impossible that the feminist agenda can ever be the total explanation for human life. Our problem now is that this monomania—the identity politics of the 1970s so people see everything through the lens of race, gender, or class—this is an absolute madness, and in fact, it's a distortion of the '60s.

Your Say

I believe that all barriers to women's advancement in the social and political realm must be removed.

Well I don't. There are some areas women shouldn't be, and some men shouldn't be, and I oppose stupidity that tries to end that.

Another Rube self-identifies. Feminism was NEVER about making things fair for women. It was one flavor of Marxism created to destroy relevant part of Western Civ.

Monomania? I thought the problem nowadays was mamamania and daddymania.
