I plan on reading it soon because I listen to the red scare podcast and Anna and Dasha reference it a lot

>>19948558
i want to fuck them both so bad it's unreal

paglia is such an eyeroll worthy midwit along the lines of jordan peterson, why do people take this stank pseud seriously

>>19948644
Because there are no other contemporary writers who understand sexuality as well as her; not any that I know of, at least

>>19948644
Who is worth reading then? About these subjects too

>>19948426
>Thoughts?
Garbage
>I find her development and perception of the Apollynian and Dionysian concept very interesting,
That's because you're a pseud.
>I find that she brushes away the influence of Christianity and is too much influenced by Sade for me to fully agree with but a very interesting book
Your review is trash lmao kill yourself midwit

>>19948654
have you considered not reading stupid shit about "sexuality" and doing literally anything else?

>>19948426
Feminist insanity.

>>19948644
We just meme her for bait quotes. Don't blame us that newfags actually fall for the meme and read her books

>>19948666
No, I find sexuality and archetypes really interesting

Maybe I'm just a midwit as suggested but my view of the worlds tends toward this viewpoint and as disagreeable as I find her, Paglia's work has helped me understand this better

>>19948688
>No, I find sexuality and archetypes really interesting

well that's really gay and stupid but you are probably a woman, enjoy your star signs

>>19948701
Guess you could say I'm a very feminine and Dionysian man, whoa crazy, almost like your describing me with a sexual archetype anon

>>19948666
I think writing off an important part of the human experience as “stupid shit” is retarded

Just read Open Me Carefully: Emily Dickinson's Intimate Letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson.
I never saw anything sexual in Emily Dickinson's letters to Susan Dickinson. She treated her more like a bosom friend.

Yeah, I’m thinking based

Only semi coherent and often unintentially funny. Once I'm on my PC at home I will greentext some epick moments like the schizo rant she did about Egyptian culture and the nature of cats

>>19948426
Is there a bigger meme than muh apollonian/dionysan dichotomy? It’s so obviously wrong that even Nietzsche, the philosopher who popularized the concept, distanced himself from it in his later works.

>>19949564
Why is it a meme and obviously wrong? I can understand the framework doesn't work well on an individual level just as Freud might not but across society and history I think it's definitely possible to trace this aesthetic binary

From what I understand she has no actual connection to the feminist movement so I don't understand the point of reading it

>>19949737
Get a perspective from someone outside the “movement.” Who cares if an author isn’t part of a self-congratulating circle jerk?

>>19949750
Because it's a waste of time
Why bother reading feminist literature unless you're trying to know your enemy?
Do you really care what some outsider like Camille Paglia says?

>>19949752
Wait you won’t read her because she dunks on feminism too?

>>19948426
The book is good. Her analysis of the devlopment of early culture as a rebellion agaist "earth mother" matriarchal tyranny is insightful and relevant. She's an honorary male.

>>19948583
>>19948558
Why would you waste your time with that dribble?

>>19948649
I'm glad there's someone that understands this useless field of study.

>>19948583
Dasha is crazy hot. Like do anal if you want, watever.

>>19948644
weird twitter 2014 typing style, "edgy but ugh not THAT edgy like smdh" 2014 thought style

you should say "problematic" VERY rarely but unironically, just a dash of unironically saying it here or there. also don't change this persona even as you hit 35
