About this Quote

This quote by Camille Paglia indicates that females are not capable of leading a civilization. She recommends that if ladies had been in charge of civilization, we would still be residing in yard huts. This declaration is a reflection of the patriarchal society in which Paglia was raised, and it is a reflection of the gender inequality that has existed in lots of societies throughout history. It is also a reflection of the idea that women are not efficient in leading a civilization, and that males are the only ones who can do so. This quote is a suggestion of the importance of recognizing the abilities of ladies and the value of gender equality. It is likewise a suggestion of the importance of recognizing the contributions of ladies to civilization and the importance of giving them the same opportunities as guys.
