Andrea Dworkin R.I.P.
Probably most famous for the phrase "all intercourse is rape", which apparently she never really said, Andrea Dworkin has died.
She did more to harm feminism than help it. She became the very cariacature of a man-hating ideologue, who couched much of her theory in terms of rape. She was the type of extremist exception in the movement who nevertheless came to represent it.
As Outside The Beltway put it, she was 'the archetype of what Rush Limbaugh termed "feminazi".'
