Andrea Dworkin

In her article "Onceuponatime" feminist writer Andrea Dworkin exhibits the disastrous effects fairy tales has had on both men and women. Women are often given no real backstory and are only there to serve as a prize for the man who would later become the hero. Dworkin believes that these stereotypes are harmful to society because it has a direct impact on the minds of young girls and boys. Without positive female role models, these children will grow up thinking women are meant to follow and obey

incidents but may protect the lives of those who wish to be protected. Although there are exceptions to every rule, depending on the type of porn and in what manner it is presented or acted out determines how violent it is perceived. According to Andrea Dworkin, ?Words alone, words and pictures, moving or still, creates systematic harm to women in the form of discrimination and physical hurt.? Although this may be true there are some women who have actually chosen this profession for pleasure and enjoy

seem to do so. Andrea Dworkin and Catharine A. Mackinnon(Feminist Perspectives), are just two of the women that have stood up against pornography. There are a plethora of feminist see pornography as a way to keep women oppressed and subjected to man. Almost as if porn is taking women in a step backwards.Mackinnon believes porn is an act of sexual violence (McElroy) and Dworkin sees it as sexist and a “deliberate means of subordinating women to men” (Feminist Perspectives). Dworkin and Mackinnon collectively

The Struggle of Women in Lowell’s Patterns and Sorrell’s From a Correct Address     "Woman is not born," feminist Andrea Dworkin wrote. "She is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so." Dworkin’s quote relates to women throughout history who have been forced to conform. Although women can be regarded highly in society, representing

In her article “Onceuponatime”, Andrea Dworkin maintains the fact that fairytales promote unrealistic, sexist guidelines for children to shadow: “Fairytales are the primary information of the culture. They are our childhood models, and their fearful, dreadful content terrorizes us into submission…” Fairytales are meant to serve as a vehicle to entertain children while teaching them valuable lessons. Her overall point is that a large percentile of fairytales are promoting gender equality and should

and misogynistic, and even at its most harmful, is political speech that aims to express certain views about the good life, 2 aims to persuade its consumers of a certain political point of view—and to some extent succeeds in persuading them. Ronald Dworkin suggests that the pornographer contributes to the ‘moral environment, by expressing his political or social convictions or tastes or prejudices informally’, that pornography ‘seeks to deliver’ a ‘message’ , that it reflects the ‘opinion’ that ‘women

Andrea Dworkin calls her audience of five hundred men at the Midwest Regional Conference of the National Organization for Changing Men to action in her speech, “I Want A Twenty-Four Hour Truce During Which There Is No Rape.” Dworkin appeals to her audience’s ethics in an effort to persuade and change man’s perspective of rape. Through the use of logos, pathos, and metaphor, Dworkin presents her arguments regarding inequality between the sexes. Dworkin uses logos several times throughout her speech

In Andrea Dworkin’s article Once upon a time she argues how fairy tales show that women are weak and men are superior for they are always portrayed as the heroic ones in the story. Men don't like it when women are stronger than them because it emasculates them, debilitating the power and control they have over a woman. For instance in “ The Mother as a Figure of Terror” it states: “ A year later, the king married again.His new wife was beautiful, greedy, and proud. She was in fact,

(2-Dworkin) Ronald Dworkin is a luck egalitarian, and he endorses the distributive view of equality. In his article, What is Equality? Part 2: Equality of Resources, he differentiates the brute luck and option luck, and this distinction is influential in the later development of luck egalitarianism. In this paper, I will examine Dworkin’s distinction between option luck and brute luck, also I will bring up Vallentyne’s argument which is against Dworkin’s distinction. Lastly, I will raise an example

Hart's Theory When Hart began forming his legal theory a dominant view in legal theory literature was that law is best understood as the command of a sovereign to its subjects. The 'command' theory most actively propounded by, and identified with Austin, explained law as a matter of commands by a sovereign who is habitually obeyed by others, but who does not habitually obey others. There are regular patterns of obedience to these commands, and legal obligations exist
