Camille Paglia: [clip] "On the feminist angle, I must mention Virginia Postrel's splendid review of Susan Faludi's "Stiffed" in the December issue of the libertarian magazine Reason. Its title -- "Reactionary Running Mates: Susan Faludi sounds like Pat Buchanan" -- gives you a hint of its originality and ingenuity.
This article will certainly enhance Postrel's ever-growing reputation as one of the smartest women in America. For years, she has demonstrated her daunting gift for cutting-edge social and economic analysis as well as her admirable command of lean, lucid prose. As a contemporary thinker, Virginia Postrel is vastly superior to derivative, overpaid affirmative action queens like the turgid Judith Butler or the windy Martha Nussbaum, who have manipulated the academic system and cowed the gullible with their manufactured importance."
