this isn't about the camille paglia piece specifically but about this amazingly stupid junior high school paper-level response to it in LAist:
http://laist.com/2012/12/06/camille_paglia_rips_hollywood_a_new.php
Camille Paglia isn't known for being polite or couching her feminist arguments in niceties. In an opinion piece for The Hollywood Reporter, she keenly rips Taylor Swift and Katy Perry brand spanking new assholes, calling the singers "insipid" and "bleached-out" and saying that they and their ilk are ruining things for young women.
The piece itself is a little scattered, beginning by talking about how Perry and Swift are so bland as to vault feminism back about 60 years, then moving on to talk about how young middle-class white girls have sex these days without being considered rebellious, and wrapping up by saying that there aren't enough roles in Hollywood for older women in their 40s and 50s.
But in between all that, Paglia makes the correct point that watered down performers like Swift and Perry don't provide particularly interesting role models for girls, insofar as they seem to be more reflections of what society wants them to be than expressions of their own true selves.
The only catch? There are always artists like Perry and Swift out there, and they will probably never go away.
See, not everyone is a Camille Paglia. Some people take their music cookie-cutter because they are cookie-cutter themselves. And here's the thing -- that's OK. Just like not everyone will grow up to be a lawyer or a doctor, not everyone has the eclectic taste of a punk rocker, or a hip-hop head, or a connoisseur of electronic music.
In other words, some people like bland because they are bland. Writing a takedown piece of stars like Perry and Swift, who are harmless for all intents and purposes, just seems kind of unnecessary.

You're an idiot. Any intelligent, college-educated woman knows Camille Paglia or should. Oh, I guess you are vapid too because someone told you to jsut stand there and be a girl. Wouldn't want you to create any controversy, let women have jobs, etc. Those two singing twits wouldn't be on stages now if not for strong women and feminists paving the way and instead they give away all their power as corporate shills. Women like YOU don't even know the difference, you foolish, TV babies! By the way, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift do not make MUSIC. They are performers and controlled dolls. End of story.

Seems like Swift's ever-massing target audience identify with Swift as somebody bursting out of the cocoon, fighting the good and necessary fight as each and every girl-to-woman does, regardless of Feminism-per-se's landmark victories. Paglia and her critic should see this as the obvious pitch, whether they like the songs or not. Dunno wtf deal is w Perry.
