I remember reading Paglia's crap way back when, and even at the time I recognized it was pernicious. Of course even pernicious crap is protected by the First Amendment, and I also recall that Paglia regularly got her ass handed to her by other academics. I'm not sure that she had much influence outside academia. She styles herself as a libertarian, and like most libertarians she has a snarky attitude that reveals how much smarter she thinks she is than everyone else. I think of her as kind of the Ayn Rand of gender studies.
