Andrea Dworkin, 1946-2005

• Gender Studies

I have no patience with haters of porn. Oddly, I'm not a consumer of it. I'm bored by the anti-romanticism of the little porn I've scanned. Maybe one day someone will introduce me to a film that I enjoy.

But Baptist or feminist crusading against erotica simply disgusts me. But there's no denying that Andrea Dworkin shaped the discussion of pornography.

Her radical-feminist critique of pornography began with her first book, Woman Hating, published when she was 27. She campaigned frequently on the subject, helping to draft a law in 1983 that defined pornography as a civil rights violation against women.

Feminist icon Andrea Dworkin dies

Susie Bright reflects on Dworkin:

The funny thing that happened on the way to the X-Rated Sex Palace was that some of us came to different conclusions that Miss Dworkin. We saw the sexism of the porn business... but we also saw some intriguing possibilities and amazing maverick spirit. We said, “What if we made something that reflected our politics and values, but was just as sexually bold?”

Andrea Dworkin Has Died

Admire her, despise her, unable to decide? Did Dworkin influence you?

"I have no patience with haters of porn." I agree whole-heartedly. I never understood the community campaigns against the local porn stores. They're not hurting anyone.

I never knew her. I live on another continet. I used to dream to meet her some day. I keep her picture near by my pillow. She saved my life with her writing. I think she was for the helpless and hopeless women, for the prostitutes and abused what Theresa used to be for the outcasts in India. So I think Andrea was a saint. I feel her empathy and her maternal generosity. She sacrificed her life, her image and her happiness for the victims of the cruelty. Let her rest in peace!

I heard several recordings of her speeches back in the late 80's over a public radio station called KPFA. She disgusted me thoroughly. I detected the same sort of hatred in her voice when she talked as I see in the eyes of netanyahu. A fanatical and unreasoning hatred. One that can not be negotiated with. The woman did immense damage to women's equality and gave the opponents of women's equality tremendous quantities of ammunition. The fact she was publically more hostile towards women who disagreed with her twisted theories than the right wing freaks who used her twisted logic for their own repressive and controlling activities speaks volumes of what dworkin was really about. In the same way what david horowitz is doing now displays what he was always about.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Andrea Dworkin, 1946-2005. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
