Status Updates From Right-wing women

“Women keep abortions secret because they are afraid of the hysteria of men confronted with what they regard as the specter of their own extinction.” p.78.

“The sexual revolution, in order to work, required that abortion be available to women on demand. If it were not, fucking would not be available to men on demand. Getting laid was at stake.” p. 100.

phuuuu. i have missed feminist philosophy SO much. dworkin, my new heroine, is absolutely brilliant, she is sharp and hitting it where it hurts. this will be a 5 star. i also love that she argues for the compassion of these women, instead of hating them. brilliant, 80s radical feminists were the peak, man have we lost our sharpness since then

“…the disdain of men for women makes the work of women worth less simply because women do it” p.69.

“Women die, mourning not the loss of their own lives, but their own inexcusable inability to achieve perfection as men define it for them.” p. 16.
