Camille Paglia's crooked strait-shooting (from the archive)

I tend to like Camille Paglia's straight-shooting kind of feminism which respects gender differences, although she is public lesbian.  Paglia believes, like Freud, that the pagan exists beneath our repressed Judeo-Christian culture and she champions art which celebrates the pagan, or her interpretation of paganism, as she praised Madonna a few decades ago. Our culture does repress many of the drives and instincts of basic human nature and one can almost see why white Eminem would choose black rap as a means of more open expression.

Although I don't really like to reach into the private sexual preferences of anyone, homosexuality actually represses real human nature.  Homosexuality is, in essence, the sexual preference for achieving orgasm with the same-gender, which is a sexual activity distant from the central survival and reproductive drives that monopolize real human nature; orgasm was evolved as an incentive for reproduction. When the same-gender sexual preference is elevated and promoted as a whole life style it blocks or subverts the larger basic elements of human nature, reducing their importance and corrupting human nature and human behavior.

Human nature developed many thousands of years ago and even the smallest change in human nature and our DNA structure, for example, in our immune system, takes hundreds of thousands of years. We remain genetically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, among other things,with group-selection as the primary unit of selection. Exclusively promoting sexuality or violence or androgyny or homosexuality actually represses much of real human nature, pagan or otherwise.  Let's have artists---and critics--- who express and don't repress more of real genetically derived human nature. This more real expression might actually exhume a more classic kind of evolutionary realism in art related to more traditional human nature and culture.
