And then you vigorously protesting that, “But look at the next sentence! Doesn’t that void everything else he’s ever written?”
You’re misreading me as well. I’m no fan of Dworkin, and it’s very clear that “all sex is rape” certainly sounds like the sort of thing she’d say (I’d make the same case for MacKinnon). I pointed out that leaving out her clarification was deceptive. It was a paradigmatic example of taking a quote out of context. Perhaps my wording was a bit strong in this comment when I said:
You seriously don’t think “All sex is rape” would therefore be a misinterpretation of what Dworkin said?
But it is very clear that you were not even attempting to read her charitably, nor give other people the chance to do so, by leaving out relevant context.
