More quotes by Andrea Dworkin
The universal religion - contempt for women.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminism requires precisely what patriarchy destroys in women: unimpeachable bravery in confronting male power
Andrea Dworkin
The creative mind is intelligence in action in the world.
Andrea Dworkin
Surely the freedom of women must mean more to us than the freedom of pimps.
Andrea Dworkin
To be rapeable, a position that is social, not biological, defines what a woman is.
Andrea Dworkin
The fact that we are all trained to be mothers from infancy on means that we are all trained to devote our lives to men, whether they are our sons or not that we are all trained to force other women to exemplify the lack of qualities which characterizes the cultural construct of femininity.
Andrea Dworkin
The tragedy is that women so committed to survival cannot recognize that they are committing suicide.
Andrea Dworkin
I love books the way I love nature. ... I can imagine now that a time will come, that it is almost upon us, when no one will love books ... It is no accident, I think, that books and nature (as we know it) may disappear simultaneously from human experience. There is no mind-body split.
Andrea Dworkin
Men use the night to erase us.
Andrea Dworkin
Remember: Resist do not comply.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminist art... will take the great human themes – love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself – and render them fully human.
Andrea Dworkin
I also had nightmares. Somehow all the feelings I didn't feel when each thing had actually happened to me I did feel when I slept.
Andrea Dworkin
Violation is a synonym for intercourse.
Andrea Dworkin
One of the reasons that women are kept in a state of economic degradation- because that's what it is for most women- is because that is the best way to keep women sexually available.
Andrea Dworkin
Men have constructed female sexuality and in so doing have annihilated the chance for sexual intelligence in women. Sexual intelligence cannot live in the shallow, predestined sexuality men have counterfeiteed for women.
Andrea Dworkin
Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies.
Andrea Dworkin
A commitment to sexual equality with males is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist instead of the raped, the murderer instead of the murdered.
Andrea Dworkin
Monroe, the consummate sexual doll, is empowered to act but afraid to act, perhaps because no amount of acting, however inspired,can convince the actor herself that her ideal female life is not a dreadful form of dying.
Andrea Dworkin
We must refuse to submit to those institutions which are by definition sexist - marriage, the nuclear family, religions built on the myth of feminine evil.
Andrea Dworkin
You think intercourse is a private act it's not, it's a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love.
Andrea Dworkin
