Transcript
Here is Camille Paglia explaining herself why there is less great female artists. Thing is tier the explanation for why are there no great women artists. Okay? The the feminist explanation always is women have been held back. Soon we'll have the great female Michelangelo. Soon we'll have the female Leonardo and so on. And I'm saying, okay, alright, I in my argument section of personae, okay, is that, okay, women don't need art. Okay? And the mania of art making to exist. There are there are important women artists. Okay? But tier I I do not meet that many compulsive, obsessive driven women, okay, who have to defend and define their own identities. Okay? By creating something else, an object. Okay? Most women I know are perfectly content to live. Okay? They're they're you know, they they they see reality for what it is. Okay? And they are centered in reality. They have their own sense of identity from the moment they're they menstruate, they know they're women. Okay? But men are driven. Men don't no. They have to on. They're driven the hormone, makes them like crazy, and so they they're searching for this. So, you you and I when I when I look at male history, I, you know, I don't see I don't see what what worst better studies people see, which is, you know, male oppression and female victimish. That's not what I see. Oppression and female victimish. That's not what I see. K? Alright. Now what I see is like wave after wave of men desperate, okay, to create their own identity, pushing out, okay, dying. You know, they're the one that are like myrmidons that are pushing pushing. They're pushing human civilization out. Okay. I'll stop it tier, but there's plenty more clips of her online if you really wanna dig in. And if you wanna go to the next level, read, her magnum opus, Sexual Worse, which she funnily always says that she took ten years to write, and she she didn't get laid a single time during those ten years because she was so obsessive about this book. And rank, it shows when you read it. It's like the sort of book it is so dense with genius and wisdom that, like, every three to five pages, you gotta put it down.
