Andrea Dworkin, RIP
David Frum has a decent little piece about the leftist Andrea Dworkin. Link. Excerpt:
She understood that the sexual revolution had inflicted serious harm on the interests of women and children ”“ and (ultimately) of men as well. She understood that all-pervasive pornography is not a harmless amusement, but a powerful teaching device that changed the way men thought about women. She rejected the idea that sex is just another commodity to be exchanged in a marketplace, that strippers and prostitutes should be thought of as just another form of service worker: She recognized and dared to name the reality of brutality and exploitation where many liberals insist on perceiving personal liberation.
