Oh, I see you edited your post. I didn't see the second question.

Uhhh, I don't...? Are you trolling

Nope, dunno where you got that from.

What, by having an abortion? No.

Yes to the first question, no to the second.

There's blood on the club and the hands, though you're correct, "bloodthirsty" is an embellishment in the same vein (ditto) as the OP.

:fire: Yeah I've read parts of Jayne's book, I don't think his theory of consciousness is taken that seriously anymore, though it was a cool idea.

Interesting stuff, thanks. Always a cool feeling when you learn that you're not alone with your puzzlement. If analogy is such a prevalent thing in ou...

Here's a link to my goodreads review of it: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4624457569 I didn't really like it.

That is an interesting take, I think I understand your point more now. Thanks

Dworkin was an important figure in the second-wave. Intercourse is a classic. I love her writing. That is why I mentioned her. I dunno why you think s...

Please do, I am curious. Firestone has some interesting ideas, but there's a lot I find unconvincing, some of which I also find disgusting.

To be clear, I am not defending this dynamic. Dworkin seems to have felt similarly, as I pointed out earlier in this thread. I can see how my choice o...

In Intercourse, Andrea Dworkin remarks: What Dworkin says here is basically what I outlined in the initial post of this thread.
