Camille Paglia's view on female sexuality is nothing new, nor necessarily enlightening. Even Simone de Beauvoir wrote about the willing sexual surrender of a woman to a man in her book, "The Second Sex" in the late '40s. I would just add that what Paglia refers to as "surrender" is mischaracterized: it's a woman giving herself position to "let go", to lay down her defenses and be open to another individual.
