More quotes by Andrea Dworkin
When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love.
Andrea Dworkin
Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it.
Andrea Dworkin
And on that day, the day of truce, that day when not one woman is raped, we will begin the real practice of equality, because we can't begin it before that day. Before that day it means nothing, because it is nothing It is not real It is not true.
Andrea Dworkin
I'm a radical feminist, not the fun kind.
Andrea Dworkin
Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminist art... will take the great human themes – love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself – and render them fully human.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminist art may... though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme... should we call it 'joy'?
Andrea Dworkin
Surely the freedom of women must mean more to us than the freedom of pimps.
Andrea Dworkin
We are born into a world in which sexual possibilities are narrowly circumscribed. . . . We are programmed by the culture as surely as rats are programmed to make the arduous way through the scientist's maze, and that programming operates on every level of choice and action.
Andrea Dworkin
Money speaks, but it speaks with a male voice.
Andrea Dworkin
I dream that love without tyranny is possible
Andrea Dworkin
Truth is harder to bear than ignorance, and so ignorance is valued more--also because the status quo depends on it but love depends on self-knowledge and self-knowledge depends on being able to bear the truth.
Andrea Dworkin
Men characterize pornography as something mental because their minds, their thoughts, their dreams, their fantasies, are more real to them than women's bodies or lives in fact, men have used their social power to characterize a $10-billion-a-year trade in women as fantasy.
Andrea Dworkin
To be rapeable, a position that is social, not biological, defines what a woman is.
Andrea Dworkin
I have to ask you to resist, not to comply, to destroy the power men have over women, to refuse to accept it, to abhor it and to do whatever is necessary despite its cost to you to change it.
Andrea Dworkin
Male dominance in society always means that out of public sight, in the private, ahistorical world of men with women, men are sexually dominating women.
Andrea Dworkin
Women's fashion is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women.
Andrea Dworkin
Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not.
Andrea Dworkin
One needs either equality or political and economic superiority.
Andrea Dworkin
Any violation of a woman's body can become sex for men this is the essential truth of pornography.
