Seller's Description:
Very Good. 257p. A softcover book in near-fine condition. Very light shelf wear; otherwise clean and tight. The feminist author views sexual intercourse and a tool of the patriarchy to subjugate women.
Andrea Dworkin has been maligned by those who have not read her works. Those that have and malign her are reactive and read with the intellect instead of the heart. Her works are all about the alienation of men and women in the most intimate aspect of our lives ---sex. She is not against intercourse. She is against it being characterized as violation which is what the dominant culture wants everyone to believe. Intercourse does not have to be a dominate person pounding a hole of a submissive person. I should be about two people communicating with their bodies, their love in sensual desire. Her generous heart is trying to explain this by examples of literature and the dominant society which says women are only for reproduction or pleasure. I used to believe the crap I read about her until I read her books and finally understood what she was saying.
