\"\"<\/a>RUSH: We\u2019ve got some great, great sound bites coming up. It\u2019s one of my all-time favorite people, Camille Paglia. Back on October 22, 2016, she was participating in the Battle of Ideas festival in London, and it\u2019s now available up to YouTube. She\u2019s got a new book out, and she thinks that modern era of feminism has been a disaster for women — and she is, in her own mind, a feminist. So I want to play these bites for you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Camille Paglia. October 22, 2016, in London, the Battle of Ideas festival. Now, it\u2019s linked to Drudge today. It\u2019s very timely because Camille has a new book, and it\u2019s collection of her essays over the years. She is a legitimate feminist. She\u2019s not a militant, New Age… In fact, she regrets and very abhors second-wave feminism, which is what she calls the modern era of feminism. I trace it back to the late sixties, early seventies. Second-wave feminism, she thinks, has been horrible for everybody. And I just have a couple of sound bites here. She speaks like a machine gun. So make sure listen fast here.<\/p>\n

PAGLIA: … The period of the 1920s, 1930s. That, to me, is my favorite period in feminism, because these women admired what men had done. There was no male bashing as became systemic, okay, to second-wave feminism. It\u2019s an absolute poison that has spread worldwide. A feminism based on denigrating men — trivializing what men have done, defining men as oppressors and tyrants through history — okay? It is an absolute lie. There have been crimes against women. Where they have occurred, we must condemn them, all right? But men throughout history have given their lives, okay, and their labor for the support of women and children. This is an element of second-wave feminism that, to me, is an extrapolation of neuroticism on the part of these fanatics, okay, who have been attracted to this movement.<\/p>\n
