Very smart woman, completely misguided.

I think she based far too much of her work on assumptions about men, and how men think. And I believe those assumptions arose from her own awful experiences - she was beaten and raped by her first husband, and worked as a prostitute for a time. She then went on to write that all sexual intercourse was a form of rape. That kind of thinking is radical in the extreme and should not have been given such weight in the debate about women and porn.

Here's hoping radical anti-porn feminism dies with her.
