    All she’s saying is that she meant maritial sex is a form of violence because maritial rape was legal, which wasn’t even true.

    It’s a distinction without a difference.

      She’s saying women cannot legally consent to sex in marriage when marital rape is legal. She wasn’t saying that all sex was violent, she was saying it was all not the “free act of a free woman” because wives were property of their husbands and could be legally raped even if they denied sexual consent.

      Also, marital rape was fully legal in the entirety of the US until the 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_in_the_United_States

      You seem to have a pretty loose grasp on the issues here. I get that you didn’t like the Barbie movie, but that all that means is that you didn’t like the Barbie movie.

        She was and she says it in both that and other wrirings and publically.

        “Male sexuality, drunk on its intrinsic contempt for all life, but especially for women’s lives, can run wild.”

        “Hatred of women is a source of sexual pleasure for men in its own right.”

        She argued that penetration was a form of “occupation”.

        “intercourse remains a means or the means of physiologically making a woman inferior”

        She labeled women that had sexual with men “collaborators”.

        But defenders like you will split hairs to make it seem like her demonization of male sexuality is just made up by her critics.

          But defenders like you

          Lol, I literally have never heard of the lady until this thread, but sure it’s me with an agenda.

          With better reading comprehension instead of “man get real angry when word men used to describe things men do generally” even those quotes aren’t saying what you think they’re saying…and that’s with no attribution or sources so I don’t even know if they’re misquotes.

          EDIT: Also you sidestepped your completely invalid claim that marital rape was illegal always because you argue in bad faith
