Britney’s response to Camille Paglia
Eloquent uber-feminist Camille Paglia slammed pop tarts Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan for their recent coochie exhibitionism. Paglia insists this behavior is reversing forward strides the feminist movement has made, and destroying what benefit these highly-visible celebrities might have given young women as role models.
Camille Paglia: “These girls are lowering themselves to the level of backstreet floozies. It angers me because I fought a bitter fight to get feminism back on track and be pro-sex at the same time. This is degrading the entire pro-sex wing of feminism. I am completely appalled by what these young women are doing because I think that they are cheapening their own image and obliterating all sexual mystery and glamour. A great promise was contained in the moment when Madonna kissed Britney at the MTV Awards. She in a sense was saying, ‘I’m passing the torch to you.’ It was a fabulous moment. Britney looked toned, in control of her career and it was up to her to take the next step. Literally, from that kiss, from that moment onward, Britney has spiraled out of control. It’s like Madonna gave her the kiss of death! Britney is throwing it away!”
Camille, you must not be so smart as people say. Forget about how much money I’m making. I’m a 25-year old dropout mother of 2 from the friggin’ Bayou, who is currently leading the whole planet around by its nose with my vagina. If you can’t see the delicious, pro-feminist irony in that, you’re just out of touch. I got a billion uniques today, bitch! WTF did you do?
PS: I can give you Madonna’s email, if you want it, lol.

This is very sad to read because what Camille Paglia and you fail to realize is that Madonna is the foreunner of raunch culture and has influenced Paris, Britney and all the other younger girls who Camille deems ‘floozies.”
Do you hate hardcore porn being brought to your 9 year old daughter by the media? Blame Madonna, who had nowhere to go but Skanktown and the media who made it rewardable. Ciccone has very little sheer talent-she is a poor actress and her singing voice-to say nothing of her wretchedly insincere speaking voice-is one of the weakest in the entire industry.
Madonna really made it by being the first media generated supe star; trashy, nasty to her fellow female performer (until she was too haggard and old to get away with it as often) and courting stylists, trainers and designers instead of working on her craft but most importantly the media has always seen her as a scared cow-be trashy, be vulgar and we will keep you famous,on magazine covers (has Beyonce ever had a Vanity fair cover?) loved AND respected they say. Thus her spawn followed suit.
Camille Paglia knows Madonna will never be a true glorious sex symbol, like Monroe, Ekberg or June Wilkinson and that she always cared more about money and appearance than sex but Camille still champions her because Madonna has the Catholic Church oozing out of ever pore and is an example of what the short, thick waisted, smaller breasted average Catholic woman with ‘exploit my dead Mommy angst’ can do. Camille sees and defends herself.
I for one like classy, talented well endowed women like Sophia Loren, Nigella Lawson, Kate Donovan, Super Amanda, and Kelly Brook who have class, mystery and vibrance and who have awesome bodies that they have not destroyed with exercise bulimia. Women like these have other stuff going on-like sex, sensuality and beauty!
