3. “Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.”
Camille Paglia
Careers, Gender, Education, Equality, Family
5. “I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society’s care.” Camille Paglia Law, Equality, Politics, Rights, Society
6. “My philosophy of equity feminism demands removal of all barriers to women’s advancement in the political and professional realms. However, I oppose special protections for women in the workplace. Treating women as more vulnerable, virtuous, or credible than men is reactionary, regressive, and ultimately counterproductive.” Camille Paglia Feminism, Politics, Equality, Gender, Society
7. “What was distinctive in those emancipated women – and here loom my later problems with second-wave feminism – was that they never indulged in reflex male-bashing: they accepted and admired the enormity of what men had accomplished and were simply demanding a fair chance to prove that women could match or surpass it.” Camille Paglia Feminism, Gender, Equality, History, Women
10. “What troubles me about the “hostile workplace” category of sexual harassment policy is that women are being returned to their old status of delicate flowers who must be protected from assault by male lechers. It is anti-feminist to ask for special treatment for women.” Camille Paglia Feminism, Policy, Harassment, Gender, Equality
13. “The trauma of the Sixties persuaded me that my generation’s egalitarianism was a sentimental error. I now see the hierarchical as both beautiful and necessary. Efficiency liberates; egalitarianism tangles, delays, blocks, deadens.” Camille Paglia Politics, Society, History, Philosophy, Equality
21. “It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.” Margaret Fuller Liberty, Women, Protest, Equality, Awareness
24. “We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to women as freely as to men. If you ask me what offices they may fill, I reply—any. I do not care what case you put; let them be sea captains, if you will.” Margaret Fuller Equality, Women, Opportunity, Freedom, Choice
