“The Bobbit case, which brought to life the ancient mythic archetype of woman as castrator, demonstrated that women are as aggressive as men and that sex is a dark, dangerous force of nature. But of course the feminist establishment, stuck in its battered-woman blinders, learned nothing as usual from this lurid refutation of its normal views. Classic art works like Bizet's Carmen tell us more about the irrationality of love, jealousy and revenge than do all the pat formulas of the counseling industry.” MenArtCoursesForceSexDarkViewsCasesDangerousIndustryNormalAncientFeministRevengeStuckClassicFormulasAggressiveUsualEstablishmentCounselingArchetypeForces Of NatureIrrationalityBatteredBlindersRefutationLove JealousyBattered WomenBizet Author:Camille Paglia

“Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems.

“I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.” PeopleThinkingFeelsRealWholeProblemHappensIndustrySceneNormalGunReal LifeObsessedInvasionDominanceRobberyBank Robbery Author:Gaspar Noe
“A normal way that the American free market system has worked is that we have a process of unwinding. It's called bankruptcy.

“It is a testament to the effectiveness of advertising campaigns funded by the animal-user industries that a diet that is bad for us and harmful to the planet is thought of as "normal" and a diet that promotes health, happiness, and well-being is thought of as alternative, abnormal, or faddish. In fact, these days it is relatively easy to find vegetarian options in many restaurants and supermarkets, though you may have to ask.” WellsMayFactsAsksEasyAnimalPlanetsIndustryNormalCampaignsAdvertisingAlternativesWell BeingThese DaysDietsRestaurantsVegetarianUsersTestamentEffectivenessAbnormalSupermarkets Author:Sharon Gannon
