“Everyone knows about her…

“Everyone knows about her silly statement to the effect that all penetrative sex is rape.”

Strangely, Andrea Dworkin did not know about this statement of hers. Maybe it’s because she never said it.

Michael Moorcock: … You argue that attitudes to conventional sexual intercourse enshrine and perpetuate sexual inequality. Several reviewers accused you of saying that all intercourse was rape. I haven’t found a hint of that anywhere in the book. Is that what you are saying?

Andrea Dworkin: No, I wasn’t saying that and I didn’t say that, then or ever.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever actually read anything by Andrea Dworkin, from beginning to end?
