Andrea Dworkin Quotes About Dominance
-

→ -
Pornography is the essential sexuality of male power: of hate, of ownership, of hierarchy; of sadism, of dominance.

Pornography reveals that male pleasure is inextricably tied to victimizing, hurting, exploiting; that sexual fun and sexual passion in the privacy of the male imagination are inseparable from the brutality of male history. The private world of sexual dominance that men demand as their right and their freedom is the mirror image of the public world of sadism and atrocity that men consistently and self-righteously deplore. It is in the male experience of pleasure that one finds the meaning of male history.
