Camille Paglia and Laura Beth Nielsen - Part 1, The Drexel InterView (Season 13)

This is the first part of a two-part interview featuring a charged dialogue between controversial cultural critic and humanities/media studies professor Camille Paglia and legal studies expert and sociologist Laura Beth Nielsen on the topic of free speech on the college campus. Host Paula Marantz Cohen navigates this vexed subject, while Paglia and Nielsen explore a range of related themes including the role of higher education administration in students’ personal lives and social choices; fostering dialogue around cultural transgression; the evolution of social activism on the college campus; racial/ethnic profiling; the state of higher education; and the implications of Title IX policy with regard to gender and sexual assault/harassment.
Recorded April 22, 2016 at the Paul Peck Alumni Center, Drexel University (Philadelphia, PA, USA).

    12:30, Laura is so out of touch with reality. She has no chance against Camille and I am sure she does not live in a black neighborhood and has never set foot on the south side of Chicago,, the problem according to her is always "systemic", we need to have a "conversation" this solves NOTHING.

    Are they talking about college-age adults? By the time I got to college, I was a man, and I would spit on anyone who tried to treat me as a child. I can see now the limits of my knowledge and lack of maturity, but I gained knowledge and maturity by bumping my head against the real world. Offensive speech? I lived in a crap hole neighborhood and carried a gun for self-defense. If you speak to students as if they were children, they remain children. Then they go out in the real world and continue to demand the coddling and privileges of children.

    2:40 As someone who has sold Halloween costumes for over 15 years in our store I don't know where she gets this information/opinion. Sexy Halloween costumes are super niche and sell very poorly compared to Super Hero, or Cool/Fun costumes which dominate the large top % of the charts in sales. Lower on the totem pole are villain costumes, and then borderline bootleg/low imagination costumes such as costumes titled, "Evil Singer Undead Girl", or "Karate Panda Warlord". Below those bootleg/low imagination costumes are where the sexy costumes lay sales/demand wise. The amount of sexy female/male costumes offered each year is more and more paltry as they sell very poorly since they are so niche. Even major distributors of costumes such as Rubies/Disguise/GoMJC etc would tell you this just by browsing their catalogs each year. Heck, GoMJC doesn't even carry them at all anymore and they rarely carry villain costumes. Her saying that women's costumes are getting sexier or more revealing each year is purely opinion and isn't based on any actual evidence that I can see. I would say the opposite is true as costumes that fun/interesting, unisex, comfy/easier fit, and that appeal to both men and women sell far better overall than any other type of costume.

    20:15 The Sibyl speaks a dire warning for those who have ears to hear it, "I find a tremendous narrowness of knowledge, and a kind of naivete, everywhere-not just among students but among faculty-about the real nature of human history. Okay? There've been just a series of great oppressive empires-everywhere: in the East and in the West-that had a certain cyclic kind of a pattern that can seen as parallel to our own, today. And I think that this great knowledge and wisdom that comes from a vast perspective of history-starting with the earliest periods, the Stone Age, and the nomadic period, moving into the agrarian period, and so on. So, yes, I think the curriculum has to be simplified but professors would never agree to it because that's not how they've been trained, and they would-our present professors-would be incompetent, in fact, to think in a larger point of view. But that's what students love. Students love a course that can give them a long view, in great, simple terms, of the great trajectory of history."

    Laura Beth tries to create the illusion of broad-mindedness in her responses to Paula's very cogent questions, but can't help injecting her ideology into her every answer--for instance, how dissent and the discussion that should come out of it seem to have to be centred around "colonialism."

    Even though I do not agree with Laura Beth Neilsen, I understand why one would be tempted to advise students on their costumes. Against my wishes, my oldest son dressed up as a giant penis for Halloween when he was sixteen. I am not sure what he learned from it. Nonetheless, it was his to learn.

    Does Laura Beth Nielsen know what she is talking about when she says men still out number women at college? I heard that it was women who out numbered men. If you Google "do women outnumber men at college?" you get an affirmative answer with articles like: "Why Do Women Outnumber Men in College?" and "Why Do More Women than Men Go to College?" Do feminist just assume that women have it worse, or do they just lie?

No one can "offend" another person: only they have the capacity to be "offended". How did such men as Frederick Douglass, and Booker T. Washington achieve what they did, and grow to such stature that their names will live long? They refused to be emasculated, offended, or belittled, by what the world said. How I wish their insights resonated now......

    I've noted that. My explanation is that because she does not engage in emotional reasoning but actual analysis, history, data, etc. she refers to her experience anecdotally as a bridge to other commenters who simply don't have her intellectual weight, productivity, or training. And also, she does have a position, a completely important and supportable one, and one that gets very little air time given the control the left has over the university and media arenas.
