    One major reason is that feminism, which deeply influences culture, posits that all men are rapists in the waiting. For an example here a quote from a prominent and influential feminist.

    “Under patriarchy, every woman’s son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.”

    This chills any frank discussion of male sexuality because that would be implicit endorsement of sexual assault.

      Ah yes, feminism, an ideology that consists solely of extremist views. I’m not even well versed in feminism and I know that Andrea Dworkin is quite extreme and is a polarizing figure.

      If you have reduced feminism to the views of a single extremist than you really need to get your shit together.

        Her and Solanas both argued men have to be castrated before a feminsit transformation of sexuality can begin.

          Solanas had a lot of trauma informing her opinions and was really only mainstream for being absurdly inflammatory and shooting Warhol. Also, most feminists don’t want to castrate people, and most is an understatement…

        Direct quotes are “insane incel bull****”? She really said that and the theme appears in all her writings.
