Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Andrea dworkin has some incredible points. And some that are a lot less palatable for modern feminists.
I personally find her to be an often misguided, incredibly dedicated protector of women- I’m so glad she was formational in spreading modern feminism, but I have to double check what view of hers is cited. Sometimes she’s identifying a subtle pressure point in society as above, and sometimes she’s suggesting that men cannot have sex with women without being predatory, that heterosexual sex is inherently degrading to women and automatically statutory rape (obviously oversimplified). To be clear, I think that’s an interesting theory, and I can see using it as a thought experiment, but I think it’s very incorrect.
