![]() ![]() So because her writing doesn't challenge someone who's already a radical feminist, I also think this book probably wouldn't do any good at convincing someone who's pro-pornography to change their mind (which is why I originally read it, to have talking points against sex posi third wavers.) Maybe it's a matter of knowing your audience? but it was hard to tell who this book is for. Obviously they're conveying really important information but some of it was sort of dense.Īs with the other 2 Dworkin books I read I felt like this didn't really challenge me intellectually, because I already agree with what she's saying, so reading this was kind of just alternating between YES! She put it into words! and being abjectly horrified about the crazy shit she deconstructs. Chapters 4-7 of this were way too theoretical for me though, really abstract and kind of hard to understand. I think that this was a lot more concrete than what books like Intercourse talk about (though no less or more important!) and so this book has an immediacy to it. The introduction and Chapters 1-3 are some of Dworkin's best and most accessible writing, on a subject that's as urgent today as it was when she wrote this. ![]()
