- :>> Paglia is considered to be a strident anti-feminist.
-
- :>"Considered?" By whom?
-
- : By whom? Let's start with Paglia herself.
-
- Then why not just post, "Paglia makes strident claims against
- conventional feminists." Leave the Divine Passive to academic administrators

- :> What business do two males have debating "who is a feminist" anyway?
-
- : What business does an economist have in responding to an author that he
- : probably hasn't read? Or in whites discussing racism? Or.....heh!

- I'm not sure whether to take it, _Tragedy of American Compassion_, or
- _Sex and Reason_ to read on the plane to/from California.

- Happy Hanukah, and practice a Safe Saturnalia!
