Right-wing Women: The Politics of Domesticated Females by Andrea Dworkin
5.0
i don’t think i can even begin to explain how amazing this book was everything dworkin says makes me question things even more. she is definitely one of the greatest writers of all time. i fear her books should be required reading.
“Each has to be understood as intrinsically part of the condition of women-pornography being what women are, prostitution being what women do, the circle of crimes being what women are for. Rape, battery, economic exploitation, and reproductive exploitation require pornography as female metaphysics so as to be virtually self-justifying, virtually invisible abuses; and they also require the wall of prostitution confining women (meaning that whatever women do is within the bounds of prostitution) so that women are always and absolutely accessible.”
