Women As Warmongers
I am truly honored by everyone who subscribes to my substack. Only curiosity drives my writing, not expertise. I now funnel my essays through Wrong Speak because they have a word limit, which I appreciate. It forces me to do as Humpty Dumpty noted to Alice: "Say what I mean and mean what I say" with no excess fat. Hopefully, the limit provides a bridge for readers to enter my thoughts instead of wading through weeds to get there.
This essay was partly prompted by a quip by Camille Paglia that modern theorists act as if history started with the printing press. It was a truly profound statement that I have come back to again and again. -
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice,
And all that's nice;
That's what little girls are made of.
I am the beneficiary of second-wave feminism, entering realms that, in the past, few women entered. I am also intellectually honest enough to acknowledge women have brought our unique demons through those open doorways.
