RIP Andrea Dworkin

Andrea Dworkin was a mighty crusader against pornography and for women’s rights. As the New York Times put it “Dworkin is one of the few remaining specimens of pure countercultural romanticism: fierce, melodramatic, and utterly convinced that all truth can be found in her own roiling, untempered emotions.”

She died at 58 on Saturday.

I respect her as a mighty, fearless, and independent spirit, even though we would have had screaming disagreements about many of our views.
