That little smirk. Ouch!

Yes, like you, I have read both and respect them both, too, from different perspectives. I esp adore Sontag's early writing. I knew that this post might whip things up and I appreciate your slant. You make a good point about patriarchy being an antagonist. However, I do think Paglia is spot on about Sontag's end career and it needs to be said - she did loose her shine appealing to certain quarters. On another note, If I didn't know better I might assume Paglia had done a line of cocaine because she is firing high on something (her arrogance?) and way out of herself, and for this reason this video is somewhat compelling even if her attitude is a little suspect (Sontag's is not much better) and designed for the spectacle.

hmm

it's going to be hard to shoehorn what i have to say in a single, necessarily superficial cast. 

i've read Sontag and i've read Paglia, and they are from (only slightly) different eras. they shouldn't have to compete. as i smirk, i blame capitalism, the entertainment culture & the patriarchy.

Reading "Doppelganger" by Naomi Klein at the moment (slow going only because looking at my phone is my default in transit), and it also speaks to how authorities in a field can feel like shadows of each other. Even when opposite in every way.

I mostly remember Paglia being held up by anti-feminist intellectuals as an alibi, a free pass that meant that they didn't have to change. 🤷‍♂️

who knew literary critiques could be this spicy?
