I'm sure the little dears were stunned after having been spoon fed politically correct opinions about gender and identity politics for months and never really taken out of their comfort zone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-23621714948210238412007-12-22T22:59:00.000-05:002007-12-22T22:59:00.000-05:00I'm very disappointed with the blogosphere. There ...I'm very disappointed with the blogosphere. There is virtually no analysis, only griping. Just like this comment I'm leaving.<BR/>I also don't understand why logical training of blogger minds is so weak. There is plenty one can use to find contradictions in Paglia's arguments. But all I hear and read are whiny liberals complaining about the fact that Paglia holds the positions she does. I don't see any analytical breakdowns or flaws pointed out.<BR/>"Paglia isn't post modern! Paglia isn't a self-labelled contemporary lefty! Paglia doesn't respect university profs and PhDs just for their title alone! Paglia isn't politically correct or interested in gender identity for its own sake!"<BR/>Well, DUH! If you want to discredit someone, you have to find flaws in the argument, not just bitch about how an opinion isn't to your taste or isn't shared by your classmates or colleagues.<BR/>It's all personal attacks, disagreements and no analysis. What, is this woman's position so hermetically perfect you can't find a hole in it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-1114789603710991462005-04-29T11:46:00.000-04:002005-04-29T11:46:00.000-04:00Oscar Wilde didn't end up jail because he was gay....Oscar Wilde didn't end up jail because he was gay.
