"Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth"

- Camille Paglia

About this Quote

This quote by Camille Paglia talks with the power of stereotypes and exactly how they can be used to rock the boat. She argues that feminism is trying to do away with stereotypes, but they are really the "cars of art's attack versus nature." In other words, stereotypes can be used to challenge the conventional sight of gender functions as well as the power characteristics in between males and females. Paglia also suggests that creative imagination and misconception are linked, which when we utilize our creative imaginations, we produce new myths and also stories that can test the existing class structure. This quote talks with the power of art and creativity to challenge the status quo and create an extra equitable society.
