Writer takes Dworkin apart . . .

Why have you posted three old articles by Futrelle?

In one extraordinary essay, she suggests that male writers who challenge her views are no better than serial killer Marc Lepine, the brutal misogynist who gunned down 14 women in Montreal a little over seven years ago. "It is true that not every man picks up a semiautomatic gun," Dworkin writes, "but a lot of them don't have to, because they have pens." The pen, it seems, is indeed mightier than the sword.

So Peezus Myers wasn't even being original when he wrote that disgusting blog post saying all MRA's are mass murderers.

Well... I just nodded my head in agreement while reading something written by David Futrelle. This is a new sensation. Why do I feel how I imagine I'd feel had I cheated on my wife?

Yes, its Futrelle, but to be fair he makes a few reasonable criticisms of Dworkin. He also summarizes her worldview with respect to pornography very accurately, with quotes.

However, he hardly performs a forceful demolition job on her entire belief system. At most he makes a restrained criticism of her argument against porn.

He even defends her from the charge of 'hating men' on the grounds that she treats anti-censorship feminists even worse than men. That's just both terrible reasoning AND an attempt to whitewash the most obvious misandrist in the feminist canon.

Unsurprisingly, Futrelle makes a lot of tone arguments and treats her with kid gloves.

Thats nothing unusual, all third wave feminists disagree with dworkin.

Surprisingly how long this article is out of date and how long dworkin has been dead she still is talked about.

Typical feminist where women in her world can't do anything that's not pre-approved by the sisterhood.
