If this had been any one other than Janice writing about Dworkin, I’d have not believed a word of it. I know a bit about Chesler, including her stint as a Muslim bride in Kabul (look it up, she wrote a book on it) and understand (although I might not agree with with her on everything) how she got to here from there.

And like Janice, this Dworkin seems to me a tad more approachable than the toad, I’d forced myself to read about.

But like every feminist, or woman brought up at their feminist mothers knee, she can’t help but include a shot at men even when its not about men… “Nothing offers more proof—sad, irrefutable proof—that we are more like men than either they or we care to believe” (p. 115).

Ha! The Hormone that differentiates men from woman, testosterone, is also a social bonding hormone that allows and allowed men to build teams and groups to not only hunt aurock’s but to also build Cathedrals, businesses, win wars and yes effect great social change without descending into the type of psychotic behaviour Dworkin, Chesler and Morgan describe. When I was in High School the year book committee generally was a coed endeavour. One of the high schools in our conference had an all female committee that needed to resort to the teachers and admin office support to get it printed and distributed on time because the members weren’t talking to one another, the meetings turned into screaming matches, some members left in tears…Nice. Sound familiar!
