Status Updates From Right-Wing Women

ALSO the bit about abortion laws and equating women to womb and pp was so well written

This book is nothing what I expected it to be at all LOL but very interesting given the US’ current political climate. And reading page 16 paragraph 3 :0

Onto Abortion - here Dworkin’s evaluations are at most risk of being dated, with marital rape being outlawed across the US in 1993. But, the main point that intercourse is laden with the use of force on every level remains - this is where people assume Dworkin is against sex (which is not true!). Also, her observations about the use of religion on the matter of marital rape and abortion are very timely.

Rereading Ch.2: The Politics of Intelligence. Dworkin provides some interesting analysis on literacy, different kinds of intelligence (sexual, creative, etc.), how Moralism is deployed to hedge women in, and how right-wing women respond to it. She argues for the sex-class distinction before anything else. I wish she spent more time discussing labour and the workplace, which is not actually a focus later in the book.

some light holiday reading
