"A contemporary woman clapping on a hard hat merely enters a conceptual system invented by men."

Such a good comment. This is really good.

In fact, I'd extend this to even our patterns of thought. All impactful religions throughout history were patriarchal. Men create intricate systems of thought, and women don't. Every philosophical thought men and women hold about the world is borrowed from the minds of hyper-creative men.

It is still worth noting, that I do fucking hate Camille Paglia. The fact that she can say true stuff like this, and not understand conclusion of such observations doesn't bode well on her intellectuality. She calls herself a feminist, even after admitting that it's just a consequence of male and female psychology that society is driven by men pretty much solely. She wants said women who were feminists wanted to "be more like men". Yeah, ok. Fucking sure. If women wanted to be more like men, they'd just be more like men. They'd just emulate their behavior, with or without men even around them.

Paglia is such a cornball. But I suppose even a dog turd can have a diamond if the dog ate it at one point.
