When feminist discourse is unable to discriminate the drunken fraternity brother from the homicidal maniac, women are in trouble.
Vamps and Tramps (1994) p. 33― Camille Paglia -
When I meet gay men anywhere in the world, there is a spontaneity and a spirit of fun and mischief that lesbians seem incapable of.
Vamps and Tramps (1994)― Camille Paglia -
When women cut themselves off from men, they sink backward into psychological and spiritual stagnancy.
Sex, Art and American Culture : New Essays (1992)― Camille Paglia -
Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans? Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers.
― Camille Paglia -

Vamps and Tramps (1994)― Camille Paglia -
Within the U.S., the Obama presidency will be mainly measured by the success or failure of his economic policies. And here, I fear, the monstrous stimulus package with which this administration stumbled out of the gate will prove to be Obama's Waterloo.

Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (1990)― Camille Paglia -
Woman's sexuality is disruptive of the dully mechanical workaday world, in which efficiency means uniformity. The problems of woman's entrance into the career system spring from more than male chauvinism. She brings nature into the social realm, which may be too small to contain it.
Vamps and Tramps (1994)― Camille Paglia -
Women are not in control of their bodies; nature is. Ancient mythology, with its sinister archetypes of vampire and Gorgon, is more accurate than feminism about the power and terror of female sexuality.
Vamps and Tramps (1994)― Camille Paglia -
Women played no part in Athenian high culture. They could not vote, attend the theatre, or walk in the stoa talking philosophy. But the male orientation of Greek culture was inseparable of its genius. Athens became great not despite but because of its misogyny.
Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (1990)― Camille Paglia -
Women's studies is a comfy, chummy morass of unchallenged groupthink. It is, with rare exception, totally unscholarly. Academic feminists have silenced men and dissenting women.
Sex, Art and American Culture : New Essays (1992)― Camille Paglia -
Women's studies needed a syllabus and so invented a canon overnight. It puffed up clunky, mundane contemporary women authors into Oz-like, skywriting dirigibles. Our best women students are being force-fed an appalling diet of cant, drivel and malarkey.
Sex, Art and American Culture : New Essays (1992)― Camille Paglia -
You have to accept the fact that part of the sizzle of sex comes from the danger of sex. You can be overpowered.
