- Tell me, bashed-fem and bait-taker, wherein is the flaw in
- the reasoning:
-
- Dworkin: All sex is rape
-
- Moi: Sex is required for the continuation of the species. The
- continuation of the species is a good thing. All sex
- is rape. Rape is required for the continuation of the
- species. Ergo,
-
- Per Dworkin, rape is a good thing.
-
- I do *not* consider rape to be a good thing. I consider Dworkin's
- statement to be the height of recent feminist stupidity. The
- feministas have been tripping over themselves to come up with
- these inane - yet 'controversial' - gimicks. My favorite:
-
- A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
-
- There's at least two hidden jewels in that one...
-
- Dworkin is a nut. If she was taken seriously by *anyone* - it
- would be a set-back to her sex. Not that all that many are
- probably to eager to claim her...
-
- And then:
-
- > >heterosexual men would be well advised to at least
- > >consider the fringe benefits of homosexuality...)
- >
- > Aha! The *true* purpose of your attack on women!
-
- "My attack on *women*" Beautiful. But the PC checkmate only works
- on people who give a shit, dear. Dworkin does not equal All
- Woman-Kind. An attack on her can only be portrayed as an attack
- on All Woman-Kind by the lunatic fringe of the feminist movement,
- who count for squat - and scant more.
