Andrea dworkin has some incredible points. And some that are a lot less palatable for modern feminists.

I personally find her to be an often misguided, incredibly dedicated protector of women- I’m so glad she was formational in spreading modern feminism, but I have to double check what view of hers is cited. Sometimes she’s identifying a subtle pressure point in society as above, and sometimes she’s suggesting that men cannot have sex with women without being predatory, that heterosexual sex is inherently degrading to women and automatically statutory rape (obviously oversimplified). To be clear, I think that’s an interesting theory, and I can see using it as a thought experiment, but I think it’s very incorrect.

I don’t get how this was downvoted. The ambiguity of “minimizes” along with an article literally minimizing civilian casualties is 100% the onion. Maybe it’s too depressing to be funny. I certainly can’t laugh at it, it’s more that it makes me feel even more cynical about the world, but it does feel like the onion to me.

People huff freon.

Okay, but the freezer smells good
