(1975) - Our Blood - Andrea Dworkin

In 1975, Andrea Dworkin discussed the cultural and systemic perpetuation of female inferiority, particularly how women’s bodies have been mutilated, controlled, and objectified throughout history. She critiques the notion of male positivity and female negativity, illustrating how society has defined women as "lacking" and "inferior" through physical, intellectual, and societal practices. She traces this to the denial of women’s autonomy. She also critiques pornography as an expression of male dominance, where female degradation is central to affirming male identity. Dworkin calls attention to the male-dominated social structure, which is rooted in sexual violence and misogyny, and challenges the foundational beliefs that sustain this system.
