this is the coolest shit to me. one of the reasons i love libraries— you can almost feel the leftover touch of everyone who ever borrowed that book… sometimes you can see remnants of them, like notes in the margin or things they loved so much they highlighted even tho it was a library book, they just couldn’t help it..

& then these slips that show how many others checked the book out… & sometimes you learn you’re sharing a copy of a book with someone who read it in NINETEEN NINETY FIVE!!!

i wouldn’t even be born for three years when someone first checked this out. damn.

People throwing a pedojacket on a dead woman b/c they're too lazy to even Google her is fucking rage inducing. Dworkin was a lesbophobe who believed in political lesbianism but why criticize her for that when we can make shit up. The insane part is the op commenting that her condemning that part of her first book is wishful thinking that nobody can source. Bet you'll get blocked for proving that wrong

Literacy crisis and all that, I'm not surprised and it's not new. Plenty of people take that one chapter and refuse to look into it more and would rather post being loudly wrong than focus on her actual opinions

I find it interesting that while left-wing men and women and right-wing women are often cruel and completely unhinged about Andrea Dworkin, some right-wing men seem to genuinely respect and empathize with Dworkin, even though they're pro-life social conservatives.

Sean Trende straight up spitting bars here.

Andrea Dworkin, “Marx and Gandhi Were Liberals—Feminism and the ‘Radical’ Left,” 1973/1977 (pp. 5-6)

"When one stops playing the slave's game, the world falls apart. Nothing is left. Nothing that one learned before works anymore. How does one walk, talk, dress, play, think, love, differently? Each minute, how and what does one do? The world becomes a very dangerous place. When one stops playing the slave's game, one must start to invent every minute of one's life. There are no forms which already exist to show how, and there are no liberated communities where exemplary people lead exemplary lives. One lives on the edge of a personal world collapsed, in direct opposition to the whole world of reality and power, and what then can one do except invent?"

“Domestic work and child rearing are not women's work—we reject that precious birthright along with the bullshit male rhapsodies which sentimentalize it. Scrubbing floors and washing shit off babies and out of diapers are not functions of gender fate or identity, unless only women have hands.”
