I'm not sure, I take feminism seriously, but not Dowrkin's feminism. Katha Pollit, Joanna Brenner, Margaret Randall, Lise Vogel, I think are pretty serious feminists and not Dworkinites. However, I don't deny that the charge can be thrown out with little reference, much like the appelation of "stalinist" for the sake of silencing debate.
