Well, I bet if you showed me a "feminist" who really takes Paglia 
seriously I would start nit-picking over whether this was a Real Feminist 
and the debate would go nowhere.  So I'll just say that I'm not impressed 
by Paglia, don't see why a feminist would be, and don't think it's wrong 
for a feminist panel to refuse to take her seriously.

Imagine Paglia as a character in a Pynchon novel... (OK, just trying to 
make a little trouble).


Cheers,
David
