- Nonsense. Men bleating about reverse
- discrimination when considering even small
- increases in opportunity for women is analogous
- to your color comparison. Men dismissing
- Dworkin's hateful rantings is not.

- I'm sorry, but Dworkin is an idiot. The
- world may well end up being better off as
- a result of her having existed, and she's
- interesting as an example of just how much
- the status quo can detrimentally warp someone
- beyond any human recognition, but that's another
- issue and beside the point: she's still an idiot
- (unless she doesn't really believe in what she
- spouts and is doing it for a calculated effect,
- which I highly doubt).
-
- And not speaking to you Jess, but at large
- to the general discussion: please, can we be spared
- the "well, her starting point is valid, she just
- comes to the wrong conclusions" jibberish? I mean,
- so what, just what in hell is *that* supposed to
- prove, besides absolutely nothing?
