taking sides: Naomi Wolf vs Camille Paglia

Sweet's Inventing the Victorians is great.

I am so not surprised that Wolf has incorrect information in her books.

kinda ouch but mostly lol

dropping "a major premise of your book is completely wrong" in the middle of an interview makes for some great dialogue

Naomi Wolf suspended from Twitter, presumably for some bonkers tweet suggesting the feces of covid-vaccinated people could be harmful to others

Let's see *you* eat it, then. Trust the science!

Wolf’s science presupposed that the problem was not knowing which faeces is not vaccine-tainted and therefore safe to eat

she should put that hypothesis to the test

She literally called for the sewage of vaccinated people to be separated from the general sewage, so that the water supply wouldn't be contaminated with mRNA. I fail to see any downside to this plan.

Btw the Johnson & Johnson vaccine doesn't use mRNA so if you had that one, your shit's good.

Wolf has also been posting about how nice conservatives turn out to be and how empowering shooting a gun is, seems like only a matter of time before she apologizes to Harold Bloom for saying groping was bad

I recently read N Klein’s 2014 book on climate change & there is a recurrent healthy scepticism of miraculous technological solutions from “the scientific community” as an article of faith that saves anyone from having to think about necessary political/economic change; in light of this shit it’s very “you vs the Naomi she told you not to worry about”

My one Naomi Wolf story is that my wife and I were at a public lakeside beach with our two kids when Wolf, a complete stranger to us, asked us to watch her two kids. She disappeared to god-knows-where for 90 minutes. Upon reappearing, she did not thank us. Fin.

that’s hilarious but also kinda genuinely horrifying

telling thread

Now that Naomi Wolf has been suspended, worth remembering that her Beauty Myth was published in the same year as Black Feminist Thought by Parricia Hill Collins. In 1990.

Publishing CHOSE to make shoddy non-feminist hot air its ‘big’ book and the aithor into THE feminist.

LOL @ that Belfast post.

Very nice.

Naomi Wolf is headlining an anti-vax "liberation" event on Juneteenth.

Organizers told me conflating the holiday celebrating the end of chattel slavery and Covid restrictions was appropriate because "we have been enslaved by our government."https://t.co/eAytxIyFxd

She's leaning in

oh...my god.

If you help smuggle people out of heavily vaccinated areas into places where they can freely get themselves and others sick is it an Underground Ailroad

It’s too bad they’re not dumb enough to have that shit in Texas.

She's still at it.
