Right-Wing Women by Andrea Dworkin
  1. I watched the movies 37 times. I read 3000 pages of psychoanalysis, and 8000 pages of queer and radical feminist theory. Now some people say that I'm overly fixated on "Twilight", that mother's having another episode. [The book shown on screen]

  2. Feminist Andrea Dworkin claims "Green manipulated Bryant with a cruelty nearly unmatched in modern love stories." - Andrea Dworkin, Right-Wing Women (1983)

  3. In my opinion, Dworkin's best book is "Right-Wing Women", published in 1983, the era of Phyllis Schlafly and Anita Bryant. "Right-Wing Women" is an analysis of why so many women are drawn to conservative politics, seemingly against their own interests. Anyone who is interested in understanding the Gender Critical movement, a crypto-reactionary backlash disguising itself as feminism, should read this book.

  4. Dworkin says "Within the frame of male domination, there is a good reason for women to hate homosexuality, both male and female. Women are interchangeable as sex objects; women are slightly less disposable as mothers. The only dignity and value women get is as mothers, having children is the one social contribution credited to women, it is the bedrock of women's social worth. Without childbearing, women know they have nothing. Homosexuality for women means having nothing; it means extinction." - Substitute "transgenderism" for homosexuality, and you'll understand the Gender Critical movement.

  5. Dworkin attended the National Women's Conference in 1977, where she spoke to a lot of women about their fear of lesbians. - [Andrea] Right-wing women consistently spoke to me about lesbians as if lesbians were rapists, certified committers of sexual assault against women and girls. To them, the lesbian was inherently monstrous, experienced almost as a demonic sexual force hovering closer and closer. She was the dangerous intruder, encroaching, threatening by her very presence a sexual order that cannot bear scrutiny or withstand challenge. - It's almost surreal to read this because of how precisely it describes how Gender Criticals talk about trans women.
