Camille Paglia has spent her career saying what many fear to say — and paying the price for
saying it.
Born in 1947 to Italian immigrant parents, she rose to prominence as a cultural critic, art
historian, and provocateur whose essays carved through both feminist orthodoxy and
patriarchal tradition. Her voice was sharp, unapologetic, and impossible to categorize.
Her line — “A woman who is a real intellectual threat to men will always be called crazy” —
distills decades of experience into one brutal truth. For Paglia, women who disrupt intellectual
comfort zones are rarely dismissed for their ideas; they are pathologized. “Crazy” becomes the
shield men raise when intelligence meets defiance.
Her breakthrough work, Sexual Personae (1990), rewrote the story of Western art and sexuality
through a fearless, sometimes incendiary lens. Critics were divided, but readers recognized
something rare — a woman refusing to soften her intellect to be palatable.
Paglia challenged the notion that feminism must follow a single script. She defended free
thought, creative chaos, and the right to offend — believing that civilization depends on women
who think dangerously.
She has often been controversial, but her impact is undeniable. She opened space for women
scholars to claim intellectual aggression without apology — to occupy the arena of debate rather
than be its subject.
Camille Paglia’s quote remains a reminder to every woman who dares to speak too sharply or
think too deeply: if they call you crazy, you’re probably doing something right.

100% and therefore we are deserving of our voice being heard both individually and as a collective and that we are all validated and respected and valued and supported in our decisions!

"This included posting links to online shops where sexual abusers could buy sedatives disguised as hair products." Not all men, but A LOT.
