Screaming is a man’s way of leaving a trace. The scream of a man is never misunderstood as a scream of pleasure by passers-by or politicians or historians, nor by the tormentor. A man’s scream is a call for resistance. A man’s scream asserts his right to live, sends a message; he leaves a trace. A woman’s scream is the sound of her female will and her female pleasure in doing what the pornographers say she is for. Her scream is a sound of celebration to those who overhear. Women’s way of leaving a trace is the silence, centuries’ worth: the entirely inhuman silence that surely one day will be noticed, someone will say that something is wrong, some sound is missing, some voice is lost . . .

Dworkin. Against the Male Flood: Censorship, Pornography, and Equality

So how many rich affluent girls were trafficked? Or was it just poor and non-american girls?

Like, epstein files show the rich don't have anything happen to them while they actively raped children. Esptein's closest person was a woman who helped him pick girls to traffic

Like, rich women would be doing this same shit if they held all the power and money like these men did. This level of money and power corrupts people into evil villians.

Saying that the class compenent of the epstein files is less important than the misogyny of them is a disservice.

The money only made the the sex trafficking ring immuned to policing. Without the money, sexual abuses towards women would still be disproportionately committed by men worldwide.

Do you believe working class men do not rape working class women? Do you believe ruling class men do not rape ruling class women? Do you believe disabled men do not raped disabled women? Do you believe black men do not rape black women?

If yes, you have your answer. Sex trafficking has disproportionately targeted females throughout history. It's intersection with class dynamics do not make patriarchy invisible. I assert patriarchy is primary because it's the root of the problem while class conflict only fuels it. If you don't still get this, disengage, commie. I don't aspire false allyships.

Andrea Dworkin, Right Wing Women

What do you think of dworkin saying "the woman is the ultimate house n*gger"

I think, after 30 minutes of searching, that she was quoting Yoko Ono?

I think every woman who isn't black should be careful about directly saying the n-word, even if they are quoting it from another person. Quotation marks do not absolve your statement of racism. I don't know enough about Yoko Ono to have a deeper opinion on whatever she was trying to say, except that she shouldn't have said it like that. Her point was negated entirely by the fact that she used a slur to name black people but referred to women as simply women. That language indicates two very different types of dehumanization.

And I don't know anything at all about what Dworkin wrote in regards to her quoting Yoko Ono, whether or not she was uncritically agreeing with or criticizing her. This is the only source I could find that makes mention of it, and it's a review for a different book. The essay it attributes this quote too isn't even named, so let me know the essay if you know it.
