Camille Paglia frasi celebri

“Niente dimostra l'isolamento della sinistra dalla gente quanto la derisione della religione, che per la maggior parte degli uomini rimane una caratteristica vitale della loro identità.”

Camille Paglia

“Lasciare il sesso alle femministe è come andare in vacanza lasciando il tuo cane ad un impagliatore.”

Camille Paglia

“Le vite degli imperatori romani dimostrano l'inadeguatezza del nostro moderno mito della libertà personale. Costoro erano uomini del tutto liberi e al tempo stesso disgustati della propria libertà. La liberazione sessuale, questo nostro illusorio miraggio, si conclude nella spossatezza e nell'accidia.”

Camille Paglia

Origine: Da Sexual personae, Einaudi, 1993.

“Tutti i codici morali sono degli impedimenti, sono solo relativi e artificiali. Eppure sono stati di enorme giovamento alla civiltà. Sono la civiltà. Senza di essi siamo sopraffatti dalla caotica barbarie del sesso, dalla tirannia della natura.”

Camille Paglia

“[Sulla procreazione assistita] [Sono] preoccupata dalla mescolanza perniciosa tra attivismo gay e scienza che produce più propaganda che verità.”

Camille Paglia

“Dato che le vignette di Charlie Hebdo erano disponibili in rete, non capisco perché i grandi giornali avrebbero dovuto ripubblicarle, esponendo i loro staff a potenziali pericoli da parte di fanatici senza scrupoli. I direttori poi possono anche indulgere in gesti nobili e simbolici, barricati come sono dietro sistemi di sicurezza molto più sofisticati di quelli della redazione di Charlie, ma di solito a pagare il prezzo più alto sono gli inservienti, le guardie, i custodi.”

Camille Paglia Frasi e Citazioni

“L'omosessualità non è normale; al contrario si tratta di una sfida alla norma.”

Camille Paglia

“[…] ho un rispetto enorme per la religione, che considero una fonte di valore psicologico, etico e culturale infinitamente più ricca dello sciocco e mortifero post-strutturalismo, che è diventato una religione secolarizzata.”

“[…] l'attivismo nero si è ispirato alla profonde tradizioni spirituali della chiesa a cui la retorica politica gay è stata ostile in maniera infantile. Stridulo, egoista e dottrinario, l'attivismo gay è completamente privo di prospettiva filosofica.”

Camille Paglia

“I Democratici che pretendono di parlare ai poveri e ai diseredati, sono sempre più il partito di un'élite fatta d'intellettuali e accademici.”

Camille Paglia: Frasi in inglese

“We have allowed the sexual debate to be defined by women, and that's not right. Men must speak, and speak in their own voices, not voices coerced by feminist moralists.”

“Much violence against women originates in emotional territory that they already command. By midlife and early old age, as the hormones of both genders change, women are in total, despotic control of their marriages.”

“In America, the best model yet for the first woman president can be found among the Texas feminists, notably Governor Ann Richards. East Coast feminists, like Gloria Steinem, who created the smug, superior feminist smirk (done to an unctuous turn by NOW president Patricia Ireland), have failed to produce a credible persona for national leadership, partly because of their juvenile, jeering attitude towards men. The irony is that the legal and media world inhabited by Steinem and her cronies is filled with bookish white-collar men who are the only ones in the world who actually listen to feminists rhetoric and can be guilt-tripped into trying to obey it. … In Texas, unlike the urban Northeast, men are men. Women politicians in that state have the toughness and grit to handle men at their most macho. Southern women, particularly those of the plantation-belt, “iron magnolia” school, are able to get what they want and still retain their graceful femininity.”

“Ambitious young women today are taught to ignore or suppress every natural instinct, if it conflicts with the feminist agenda posed on them. All literary and artistic works, no matter how great, that document the ambivalence of female sexuality they are trained to dismiss as “misogynous.” In other words, their minds are being programmed to secede from their bodies … there is a huge gap between feminist rhetoric and women’s actual sex lives, where feminism is of little help except with a certain stratum of deferential, malleable, white middle-class men.”

“Marxism is a flight from the magic of the person and the mystique of hierarchy. It distorts the character of western culture, which is based on the charismatic power of person. Marxism can work only in pre-industrial societies of homogeneous populations. Raise the standard of living, and the rainbow riot of individualism will break out. Personality and art, which Marxism fears and censors, rebound from every effort to oppress them.”

“The [sexual harassment] situation has gotten so out of hand that, in 1993, in one of the first British cases, a plumber was fired for continuing to use the traditional term "ballcock" for the toilet flotation unit, instead of the new politically correct term, sanitized of sexual suggestiveness. This is insane. We are back to the Victorian era, when table legs had to be draped lest they put the thought of ladies' legs into someone's dirty mind.”

“Nature is a Darwinian spectacle of the eaters and the eaten. All phases of procreation are ruled by appetite: sexual intercourse, from kissing to penetration, consists of movements of barely controlled cruelty and consumption. The long pregnancy of the human female and the protracted childhood of her infant, who is not self-sustaining for seven years or more, have produced the agon of psychological dependency that burdens the male for a lifetime. Man justifiably fears being devoured by woman, who is nature’s proxy.</b”

“We must examine the degree to which we coddle middle-class girls. There is something sick about it. The girls I see on campuses are often innocuous, with completely homogenized personalities, miserable, anorexic and bulimic. The feminist movement teaches them that it's men's fault, but it isn't. These girls go out into the world as heiresses of all the affluence in the universe. They are the most pampered and most affluent girls on the globe. So stop complaining about men. You're getting all the rewards that come with the nice-girl persona you've chosen. When you get into trouble and you're batting your eyes and someone is offending you and you are too nice to deal with it, that's a choice. Assess your persona. Realize the degree to which your niceness may invoke people to say lewd and pornographic things to you — sometimes to violate your niceness. The more you blush, the more people want to do it. Understand your part of it and learn to parry. Sex talk is a game. The girls in the Sixties loved it. If you don't want some professor to call you honey, tell him.”

Playboy interview (May 1995)

“Judaism’s campaign to make divinity invisible has never fully succeeded. Images are always eluding moral control, creating the brilliant western art tradition. Idolatry is fascism of the eye. The western eye will be served, with or without the consent of conscience.”

“How is it possible that today's academic Left has supported rather than protested campus speech codes as well as the grotesque surveillance and over-regulation of student life? American colleges have abandoned their educational mission and become government colonies, ruled by officious bureaucrats enforcing federal dictates. This despotic imperialism has no place in a modern democracy.”

“[Feminism] is alienating women from their own bodies … because they don’t understand that they have something that men want, okay? So they’re encouraged to interpret all male lust as oppressive and victimizing and negative, instead of seeing that it is up to them to husband this flame. They have a flame, and it’s enormously powerful…”

“I like Sarah Palin, and I’ve heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is — and quite frankly, I think the people who don’t see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn’t speak the King’s English — big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist. I stand on what I said (as a staunch pro-choice advocate) in my last two columns — that Palin as a pro-life wife, mother and ambitious professional represents the next big shift in feminism. Pro-life women will save feminism by expanding it, particularly into the more traditional Third World.”
