You only have to read the torrent of filthy abuse pouring out of this diatribe against sex and men to see that Andrea Dworkin is a sick lady. It's one long hysterical denunciation of sexual intercourse as really bad news for women. The way she rants on is of course the give-away symptom of sexual frustration. Clearly she can't be getting enough of it - not surprising for someone overweight and ugly like her! Either that, or she is one of the seven in ten women (evidence: Hite Report) who can't regularly make it to orgasm with a man. Typically of such women, her frustration has turned her into a man-hater. It's awful being a man in today's world. It means being bombarded with androcidal aggression from women who love to hate us.
