Camille Paglia on Lena Dunham and Hillary

well lena dunham to me is just the absolutely the symbol of a certain kind of neuroticism which masquerades as feminism I mean Lena Dunham has a lot of problems that I had they have to do with body image they have nothing whatever to do with with the wider society but have to do with the chaos of her own family life and her family background and in enter so her feminism's is to me a perfect example of the kind of externalization of you know she's like looking for social causes for for you know there's a kind of you know this huge fluidity in in her inner life that is due to the way she was raised in that it was like in the art scene in the in New York she was raised with privilege the way she presents herself physically to me it's like I look look I'm just presenting myself exactly as I am I call her Lea you know the interent workin of today this mistake this is exposure of the body as something ugly and something is repugnant and yet somehow as sexual and then and the implied blame that if you find me ugly then you don't understand I am woman as she is okay and you are a sexist okay I'm sorry I know you are just a big big pile of pudding for that concern but big pile of you know I'm there I mean I she's like just a classic neurotic of the old style and wit listen not nearly as intelligent she seems to think she is I don't think she has any insight whatever into contemporary politics I think she says just she finds sexism everywhere okay and if I was like a monomania yeah with that type of feminist to see sexism every Oh Hillary is being treated in a sexist matter excuse me Hillary has benefited enormous Lea from being a woman people don't lay a glove on her she if she were if she were not a woman okay people would go after her all her opponents would have gone after her you know far far more severely for her you know corruption her dishonesty you know for her her I mean every like her incompetence I mean the woman has never succeeded in any job she's created chaos after chaos including now all of North Africa spilling his refugees into Europe horizons do is to take Hillary you know taking out you know Gaddafi and not thinking about what would happen afterward okay it is just absolutely ridiculous okay so like Hilary's is has benefited enormously indeed you know it from being a woman so that nobody could any time anyone criticizes her immediately oh oh it's like you know and and and they have they have the vapors the slightest thing and in England would be it would be absurd meaning you know the kind of stinging questions that aren't normal okay in the in the kind of debate that goes on in the House of Commons objects I mean just like it to me it's juvenile absolutely juvenile
