Andrea Dworkin was right

Prostitution may be against the written law, but no prostitute has defied the prerogatives or power of men as a class through prostitution. The model exists to entice counterfeit female sexual revolutionaries, gullible liberated girls, and to serve the men who enjoy them.

Women will never be free unless we are not any longer treated as objects, which includes sexual objects. We are human beings; we are the center of our own lives. We are not things for men to act out on.—Life and Death (1997)

We cannot talk about what freedom is for women without talking about what freedom is for battered women. To me, that means that every woman who is or has been battered has to have in our society a real right of sovereignty over her body.—Life and Death (1997)

What do we do about the batterers? This question is an urgent one. You pull them off of one woman, they find another woman. There aren’t individual solutions to this problem, although every woman’s life saved is a victory of sorts.—Life and Death (1997)

I would like for us to stop thinking we need to prove anything to them. They need to prove to us that they can respect our lives enough to make social policy that stops battery.—Life and Death (1997)

I would like to see us stop trying to be so damn civil to the people who are hurting us.—Life and Death (1997)

It was good of us, and generous, to pursue remedies in a principled way, without shedding blood. These things have been done to us. They will stop.—Life and Death (1997)

It is the defenders of male privilege who say that male sexuality is essentially rapist.—Life and Death (1997)

Some feminists say “please.” Some feminists say “put up or shut up.” But it is the defenders of male privilege who say that it is the nature of men to aggress against women; that male sexuality requires such aggression.—Life and Death (1997)

Male lies all around us celebrated force as romantic rape; male laws protected force used against women in rape and battery; in this very unfriendly world we enunciated, at risk and in pain, the meaning of our own experience. We called it rape.—Life and Death (1997)

Indeed, male rage against date-rape charges originated in the conviction that men had a right to the behaviors constituting the assaults; but also, that manly behavior, manhood itself, required the use of force, with aggression as the activating dynamic.—Life and Death (1997)

The liberals sacrificed the women of this country to the usual imperatives o f male bonding. How many—left, right, or center—harass the very low-paid, low-status women who work for them (they exempted themselves from the reach of sexual harassment laws)?—Life and Death (1997)

We mean no and we prosecute the pigs to prove it. More and more of us do, more and more. We prosecute and sue our fathers, lovers, bosses, doctors, friends, as well as the ubiquitous stranger.—Life and Death (1997)

For all our cultural brazenness, men have learned that no might mean no because we take them to court. It started as a rumor. The rumor spread. The bitches are really pissed.—Life and Death (1997)

which come right out of the pages, right off of the video screens, are often with the videos going and the men imitating them, have a level of sadism that women my age have almost never seen.—Modern Times Interview With Larry Josephson Radio Program, American Public Radio (1992).

We have a generation of people now who are 20 years younger than you and me who were raised in this society saturated with pornography, and I am telling you that the kinds of sexual assaults that these women are being subjected to,

an eroticisation of violence against women, and desensitization of women’s humanness and value as human beings.-Modern Times Interview of Andrea Dworkin With Larry Josephson Radio Program, American Public Radio (1992).

That there is an incredible kind of alienation that has to do with the way that pornography teaches men to look at women and to treat women, an incredible kind of dehumanization that has to do with the way men objectify women and pornography facilitates that,

We must unlearn the passivity we have been trained to over thousands of years. We must unlearn the masochism we have been trained to over thousands of years.

Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us.—Our Blood (1976)

It is in male bonding that men most often jeopardize the lives of women. It is among men that men do the most to contribute to crimes against women.—Our Blood (1976)
