Andrea Dworkin was hideously ugly

I kind of knew her in passing....literally....

She knew no man would be of interest in her so she lashed out in response

Which is basically the impetus of feminism like Rush says

The refuge of unattractive women today

Other women just exploit it now to claim victimhood

There was a particular incubator of feminist Genesis in the 1960s and their inheritors today which involved a specific group and class but that’s another topic

Andrea Dworkin was morbidly --- beyond morbidly, I think the clinical word is "malignantly" obese, BMI 50 or greater--- for most of her adult life; but she was not so when she was younger.

She also had a male life-partner for most of her adult life (31 years), John Stoltenberg, who actually married her.

It's often said she made herself fat to acquire body-armor: to make herself unattractive to men, because of the sexual abuse which she endured when she was young and homeless and bartered sex for food and shelter, and from left-wing "Movement" men. There's some truth in that, I think.

She was in many ways a monster, but one whom I pity.
