Reference materials on the subject of ...for Pasto:<br /><br />Reference materials on the subject of feminism vs. Darwinism are predictably opaque as is usual with "ism" studies though Paglia, given her position in scholarship, would likely be well read in them. A rare example of cogency on the topic would be:<br /><br />"Now, while the rest of the country is grappling with the issue of gay marriage, Stanford evolutionary ecologist Joan Roughgarden is trying to untangle Darwin's mess by publishing Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender and Sexuality in Nature and People . Roughgarden's thesis begins with the idea that since homosexuality is not a reproductive strategy, according to Darwin it's an aberration that should die off. But instead of deciding that homosexuality is wrong from an evolutionary standpoint, Roughgarden arrived at another conclusion: Darwin's theory of sexual selection must be wrong. Traveling this path and others, her book marks the first time that a scientist has presented a cogent challenge to one of Darwin's sacred cows."<br /><br />Quoted from an article by Steven Kotler at AlterNet.

Paglia is a Lit Professor and her book Sexual Personae is, along with the works of Harold Bloom, one of my favorite Lit Criticism works. <br /><br />She is brilliant. <br /><br />Her Social Commentary is always thoughtful as well, and I usually agree with her.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-76935545894470084262013-12-20T15:20:12.171+00:002013-12-20T15:20:12.171+00:00Anonymous,

I was not aware of that controversy in Radical Lesbo-Feminazi Theory.<br /><br />Do you have any links on that?<br /><br />I'd love to post some info.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-37209483229691271892013-12-20T13:52:10.706+00:002013-12-20T13:52:10.706+00:00I have to wonder how Charles Darwin's reputati...I have to wonder how Charles Darwin's reputation will hold up among the left-wing intellectual set. Darwin has replaced God-the-creator in leftist cosmology but Darwin's theory must label Homosexuality an evolutionary dead-end. If it's not a choice then it must be nature's way of telling you your genes are no longer wanted in the pool. Any other interpretation is contradictory.<br /><br />The deans of feminist theory are already attacking Darwin's theory of sexual selection. Paglia certainly knows that. How far they go in this direction remains to be seen but, pushed to its logical conclusion, Darwin will have to wind up being lumped with the rest of the dead white male patriarchy. Then where will the left go to explain existence?<br />Should be a fascinating battle. My favorite amusement is watching left-wingers eat each other. Stay tuned. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-49503892935443112002013-12-20T13:50:05.895+00:002013-12-20T13:50:05.895+00:00I don't watch Duck Dynasty.
