The tragedy is that women so committed to survival cannot recognize that they are committing suicide.
Andrea Dworkin Quotes
You think intercourse is a private act; it's not, it's a social act. Men are s*xually predatory in life; and women are s*xually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love.

The power of money is a distinctly male power. Money speaks, but it speaks with a male voice. In the hands of women, money stays literal, count it out, it buys what it is worth or less. In the hands of men, money buys women, sex, status, dignity, esteem, recognition, loyalty, all manner of possibility.

Andrea Rita Dworkin was born in Camden, New Jersey. She was an American radical feminist and writer best known for her criticism of pornography, which she argued was linked to rape and other forms of violence against women. An anti-war activist and anarchist in the late 1960s, Dworkin wrote 10 books on radical feminist theory and practice. During the late 1970s and the 1980s, she gained national fame as a spokeswoman for the feminist anti-pornography movement, and for her writing on pornography and sexuality, particularly in Pornography: Men Possessing Women and Intercourse, which remain her two most widely known books.
