   Ah, but, Camille Paglia is so fun to read! Funny as phuck, hella' 
phresh!Wouldn't you rather read an essay by Camille than say, (just picking 
out a name from my brain, no implied comment, in fact I like her stuff, 
Drucilla Cornell?

   As for feminists being unattractive dykes w/ short hair that don't shave 
their armpits who hate men, there were many attractive dykes w/short hair 
in the Gay Parade Sunday here, that I'd think of cruising thinking they 
were gay males, then I'd doubletake when I saw they were 
wimmin/womyn....and there are tons of ugly lesbians that are in your face 
about not wanting to try to look prettier 'cuz that would be "sizest and 
lookist"

" (st8 or gay, doesn't matter, though given the closer georgraphical 
proximity of gay male dominated neighborhoods to lesbians vs. breeder 
neighborhood w/ hooters franchises, haven't we all seen much more hostility 
directed at gay men by lesbians, whether or not they deserve it, in that 
particular instance [and , OH YES, the historical presence of retrograde, 
sexist and racist behavior and 'tudes as well as obnoxious classism [[hate 
that term, class exploitation and domination, is rooted in relations of 
production, yes, underlaid w/psychological and interpersonal factors, but, 
really, if tomorrow, the rich fucks w/guatemalan nannies, smiled and 
thanked them for raising their kids instead of their wages and working 
conditions, imperialist capitalism wouldn't be altered in the least...]] ] 
than ever gets directed at st8 men? Always easier to direct ones rage at 
those closest to one, rather than the real oppressor, who wouldn't attempt 
to understand your anger...
