Dworkin

I know many feminist scholars say Andrea Dworkin's theories and arguments, as ridiculous as I think most of them are, shouldn't be wholly discounted. But, come on. The woman was friggin' crazy.

Andrea Dworkin on . . .

Romance: "In seduction, the rapist often bothers to buy a bottle of wine.''

Sexual Intercourse: "Intercourse remains a means, or the means, of physiologically making a woman inferior: communicating to her, cell by cell, her own inferior status . . . pushing and thrusting till she gives in.''

Crime: "I really believe a woman has the right to execute a man who has raped her.''

Pornography: "Pornography is a celebration of rape and injury to women; it's a kind of union for rapists, a way of legitimizing rape and formalizing male supremacy in our society.''
