What Andrea Dworkin, the feminist I knew, can teach young women

Good to see a feminist giving props to the most vicious and open man haters among them instead of pretending NAFALT.

She had become famous in the early 1980s for the ordinance that she and the legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon had drafted for Minneapolis, recognising pornography as sex discrimination and a violation of women’s civil rights

Nice tip of the hat to the woman who invented sexual harassment as a concept. The new feminists might pretend to disagree with the old bigots but they sure love using the old bigots legal arguments.

Don't feminists fucking routinely try to tell us that they don't take people like Dworkin seriously anymore? And here we find ourselves. Unbelievable.

She had become famous in the early 1980s for the ordinance that she and the legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon had drafted for Minneapolis, recognising pornography as sex discrimination and a violation of women’s civil rights.

So. Denying women's agency, and their right to participate in an industry. Interestingly, men are not also considered victims, and gay porn isn't even considered.

So much bigotry, so many double standards, all in once sentence. What an admirable person!

“The libertarians are winning this war Julie,” Andrea said as we sat in her hotel room, drinking the bitter espresso that enabled her to keep awake through the day (Andrea was notoriously nocturnal). “If we give up now younger generations of women will be told porn is good for them and they will believe it.”

lol god forbid.

This is Julie Bindel and I'd expect nothing less. She's a nutter among nutters and could easily give Dworkin a run for her money.

there was no monstrous ego to deal with, and nothing of the spoilt, pampered middle-class feminist we Brits had come to dread in our north American sisters.

This is so incredibly funny.

“My hatred is precious,” she once said to me.

Andrea. Julie. Feminists.

Did they mention her false rape claim? So ridiculous that even the sisterhood was divided.

Hahaha poor sick sad whale:

We talked of reviving the feminist anti-pornography movement in Europe which was, we feared, dying. “The libertarians are winning this war Julie,” Andrea said as we sat in her hotel room, drinking the bitter espresso that enabled her to keep awake through the day

boohoo, they won :D
