I donโt believe rape is inevitable or natural. If I did, I would have no reason to be here. If I did, my political practice would be different than it is. Have you ever wondered why we [women] are not just in armed combat against you? Itโs not because thereโs a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence.
Andrea DworkinWe think that we live in a heterosexual society because most men are fixated on women as sexual objects; but, in fact, we live ina homosexual society because all credible transactions of power, authority, and authenticity take place among men; all transactions based on equity and individuality take place among men. Men are real; therefore, all real relationship is between men; all real communication is between men; all real reciprocity is between men; all real mutuality is between men.
Andrea DworkinFamilies make possible the super-exploitation of women by training them to look upon their work outside the home as peripheral to their 'true' role.
