"Sotomayor's vainglorious lecture bromide about herself as "a wise Latina" trumping white men is a vulgar embarrassment - a vestige of the bad old days of male-bashing feminism"

This quote by Camille Paglia is a criticism of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's statement that her experience as a "wise Latina" would certainly enable her to make far better choices than white men. Paglia believes that this declaration is a type of "male-bashing feminism" and is a "vulgar embarrassment". She sees it as a pointer of the outdated as well as offensive views of feminism that were preferred in the past. Paglia believes that Sotomayor's statement is a form of "arrogant lecture bromide" which is a pompous and also self-aggrandizing speech. She thinks that this kind of declaration is improper and offensive and also should not be endured. Paglia's quote is a pointer that we must aim to be much more comprehensive as well as respectful of all genders and histories in our culture.
