You're right, I suppose...

particularly when you note that "when" (or is it "if"?) a pederastic movement founded on tradition begins, Paglia's work will take their deserved important place." But I still felt just a whiff of cowardice in that interview. In an earlier essay, she had written something to the effect that when she made some positive comments about boy love, she was confronted by an audience of females screaming at her -- and she took a dispassionate stance, wondering at the virulence of the reaction. What nerve had she touched? Why is it impossible to discuss what was central -- morally and aesthetically -- to a society that was a progenitor of ours? The very fact that "it's absolutely impossible to think we could reproduce the Athenian code of pedophilia, of boy-love" is as damning indictment of our so-called culture that I can imagine. I suspect she might agree and I wish she would write about why that is the case. I'll link below a thread that may be relevant to this discussion.
