“Ambitious young women today are taught to ignore or suppress every natural instinct, if it conflicts with the feminist agenda posed on them. All literary and artistic works, no matter how great, that document the ambivalence of female sexuality they are trained to dismiss as "misogynous." In other words, their minds are being programmed to secede from their bodies ... there is a huge gap between feminist rhetoric and women's actual sex lives, where feminism is of little help except with a certain stratum of deferential, malleable, white middle-class men.” IfsMenMindLittlesMatterHelpingBodyTodayYoungCertainSexNaturalWhiteClassFeminismMiddleTaughtHugeConflictFemaleInstinctFeministSexualityArtisticMiddle ClassAgendasGapsAmbitiousRhetoricYoung WomenDocumentsAmbivalenceFemale SexualityNatural InstinctLittle Help Author:Camille Paglia
