Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson by Camille Paglia
1.0
I remain confused, disappointed, and angered by Paglia. within the first few pages, she takes time to praise the "brilliance" of Freud's psychodynamic family romance theory, and goes on to discuss the failings of feminism at length, at one point saying the vagina "has invisible teeth, males leave less than they enter"
I've honestly never read anything so deeply misogynistic and off base that wasn't written in jest, much less written by a woman. I assume much of it was written to be shocking, and while it achieved that goal, I was unable to get past the first chapter.
