Intercourse by Ariel Levy, Andrea Dworkin
5.0
the chapter on joan of arc is to date one of the best things i have read. i tried to read woman hating and really didn’t like it but i think her 80s work is alot better than her 70s will be reading her other books after!
“But the hatred of women is a source of sexual pleasure for men in its own right. Intercourse appears to be the expression of that contempt in pure form, in the form of a sexed hierarchy; it requires no passion or heart because it is power without invention articulating the arrogance of those who do the fucking. Intercourse is the pure, sterile, formal expression of men's contempt for women”
