/lit/ - Literature

I'm going through an erotic philosophy-of-sex phase, so Paglia's book stuck out. Any thoughts on this book? Also, any other sex/art philosophy similar?

What’s up fags, have any of you read this? I enjoy her commentary and interviews but I’m wondering if the actual text is academic and dry or is this a fun read? How does the prose flow?

Paglia said of the book, "It was intended to please no one and to offend everyone. The entire process of the book was to discover the repressed elements of contemporary culture, whatever they are, and palpate them. One of the main premises was to demonstrate that pornography is everywhere in major art. Art history as written is completely sex free, repressive and puritanical. I want precision and historical knowledge, but at the same time, I try to zap it with pornographic intensity."[

Paglia says basically all western culture is because of fags not striving for vagoona = not being bogged down by retarded women

Every question about sex/gender on this board should be answered with this book

>no it literally didn't, and there's a rich literature that debunks and disproves every major claim in the book
What the fuck are you talking about? Most of the book is data and statistics. The claim that blacks have low IQs has not been debunked. It's pure, verifiable data. Comparing racial earnings, and then comparing again while controlling for IQ hasn't been "debunked." You're a fucking idiot, mate.

What does /lit/ think of Paglia's Sexual Personae?

Is this the best work by a woman of all time? I think yes

What does /lit/ think about it?
