>Today such behavior survives only in sexual sadomasochism, universally labeled perverse

Currently reading Sexual Personae by Camille Paglia. It came out in 1990.

I’ve been made aware that ‘’pornography’’ is everywhere in major art, from Donatello too Edmund Spenser. My previous puritanical and traditional views about western art have been shattered, turns out we have always been pervs lol. Amorality, aggression, sadism, voyeurism, and pornography in great art have been ignored or glossed over by most academic critics because it either wasn’t P.C from the lefts standpoint, or un-Christian from the right. (Le radical centrism am I right guys?)

Also I need to read more of the classics, she’s referencing works left and right, in the middle of the book she inspired me to buy The Iliad and The Odyssey, about fucking time.

Thank you Paglia.

This tomboy

What a lady.
Reading this reminds me how much of the Greeks, the romanticists, and ‘’the psychologists’’ I ought to read considering this woman is constantly referencing works I’m unfamiliar with, loving it tho.
