sure, but again, this is all coming literally decades after the body of work people refer to when they talk about her ideas. i obviously don't think it's wrong to point out the deficiencies there, but late in life turns towards reaction aren't exactly uncommon, and i think it has very little to no bearing on the things she spent the entirety of her life dedicated to talking about

any evidence to back up the claim Dworkin was a Zionist?

i've read some iffy stuff from her on Israel but she seemed to be sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians. i know that sounds like liberal zionism but i can't really hold it against her when she wrote it. in fact, widespread support anti-Zionism and the one state solution is a relatively recent development.

in the link i posted she claims

the Israelis are my guys, a miracle of self-determination and courage. Well, they took the land; but they had to.


it goes on to say that:

She was a good Jewish girl in a pro-Israel home: "And all of my remaining family are, I would say, Zionist zealots." She remains a supporter of Israel's right to exist, of the Jewish right to have their own state and the Jewish right to fight back against those who tried and still try to kill them; just as she thinks that women have the right to fight back, even kill, the men who have abused them. "I've been a pacifist all of my life, currently lapsed, and maybe before I die I'll go back to my religion, which is pacifism," she said.

she follows it up by noting that

brutality has become institutionalised in Israel as expressions of male dominance and state sovereignty - over Jewish/Israeli women as well as over Palestinian men and women.


but at that point its basically saying that they were necessary casualties in the need to carve out a safe space for jews

the other thing i see a lot is when people say that being fat and having diabetes isn't unhealthy if you maintain your blood glucose levels. yeah alright you're eating 4,000 calories a day but i'm sure most of that is from foods with a low glycemic index. lady don't kid a kidder. my cheat day is any day that ends in 'day'.

i agree with the first part of your meme fringus, but the way capitalism affects individual choice in sexual relations as well as "pair bonding" extends so much further than alcoholic courting and simple lies

people's understandings of who they are, what the other is, and how to relate in a positive, healthy way are so deeply shaped directly or indirectly by capital that simple consent has almost little to nothing to do with it at all. the petty-bourgeois egos of most young singles only reaffirms and streamlines this process.

i approve of your entryism through radical tumblring

Three, community built on androgynous identity will mean the end of transsexuality as we know it. Either the transsexual will be able to expand his/her sexuality into a fluid androgyny, or, as roles disppear, the phenomenon of transsexuality will disappear and that energy will be transformed into new modes of sexual identity and behavior.
