The paragraph spans pg 37-38 of her first major published work: Sexual Personae:<br /><br />We could make an epic catalog of male achievements, from paved roads, indoor plumbing, and washing machines to eyeglasses, antibiotics, and disposable diapers. We enjoy fresh, safe milk and meat, and vegetables and tropical fruits heaped in snowbound cities. When I cross the George Washington Bridge or any of America's great bridges, I think: *men* have done this. Construction is a sublime male poetry. When I see a giant crane passing on a flatbed truck, I pause in awe and reverence, as one would for a church procession. What power of conception, what grandiosity: these cranes tie us to ancient Egypt where monumental architecture was first imagined and achieved. If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts.<br /><br />It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it.<br /><br />Give Caesar his due.Paul Glanvillehttp://gkpnet.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-12085826900257878902013-09-12T14:36:58.498+03:002013-09-12T14:36:58.498+03:00Enough of a bother to sign into Blogspot that we a...Enough of a bother to sign into Blogspot that we are all anonymous here: interesting premise for dialogue...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-24486071044515415832013-09-12T14:30:32.852+03:002013-09-12T14:30:32.852+03:00The only bit that rings faux in the small diatribe...The only bit that rings faux in the small diatribe: rule of the species not exactly a rule for each and every - an argument too musty to be worth much, except perhaps still useful for clumsy politics aspiring to culture-making...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-55379492828135547872013-07-02T23:03:51.326+03:002013-07-02T23:03:51.326+03:00You sound like someone who should be disgusted, of...You sound like someone who should be disgusted, often.Political Refugee from the Global Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523068770529814044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-29057918481373069132013-07-02T17:43:31.783+03:002013-07-02T17:43:31.783+03:00I am not sure how it is even possible to debate ar...I am not sure how it is even possible to debate around most of these ideas. With the risk of sounding closed minded, I can only dismiss this entire bunch of delusional c**p which has just been taken too far. If something is so confidently and shockingly expressed, does not really mean it is actually challenging what it intends to challenge, on the contrary. <br /><br />I think she should have said: "If civilization had been left in female hand like me, i.e. Camille Paglia, we would still be living in grass huts, or better yer, there would only be men in the grass huts. Women would be kept somewhere just to poop some brats out and then thrown to slave work."<br /><br />I am disgusted!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-80053706666499015732013-06-19T08:01:43.922+03:002013-06-19T08:01:43.922+03:00elements of both translates to species in this cas...elements of both translates to species in this case, human beings.
