In her heart she is a mourner for those who have not survived. In her soul she is a warrior for those who are now as she was then.

Andrea Dworkin

Andrea Dworkin
Women, for centuries not having access to pornography and now unable to bear looking at the muck on the supermarket shelves, are astonished. Women do not believe that men believe what pornography says about women. But they do. From the worst to the best of them, they do.
Andrea Dworkin
The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.
Andrea Dworkin
Can women make use of men's vulnerability not to marry but instead to destroy male power?
