the anti sex left

[Kelley]

Well, Yosh has certainly fondly used the term MacDworkin and talked about 
those following Kitty and Andy often enough here and elsewhere.  i guess it 
all matters if it's, well, the right people using them in a discussion.

We're not seeing much success in changing the minds of goofy devotees
of Andrea Dworkin & Catherine MacKinnon on M-Fem, to be sure. And we
are unlikely to easily change the minds of radical economists whose
primary interest is not feminism.
<...> The same happens on
M-Fem, which becomes active whenever obnoxious posts of MacDworkin
varieties get posted. <...>

Anyhow, questioning Yes categorically takes you in the direction of
MacKinnon & Dworkin, which is to say, puritanical moralism. As for No, I
haven't heard of any feminist who is happy with deconstructing No in the
context of rape. Yes & No are not symmetrical in feminist thoughts.
