"What offends everyone about Camille Paglia and Katie Roiphe is that they are both women who object to the caricature of predatory men and delicate women."

No, what offends everyone is that their objections to the caricature of predatory men and delicate women are also caricatures, couched in psychobabble and Jungian tropes....but caricatures nonetheless. Even more offensive is their opportunism and ceaseless self-promotion.
