That's what I thought, but he has shown me a lot of links, and there do seem to be particular online communities where people are praising Dworkin. Of course, as he finds this almost incredible, I think he notices every reference to her in a way he's not going to notice people not referencing her, but still there seem to be people.

Yes, this was my impression. That Dworkin is mainly used by anti-feminists. But then the comment Doug relayed from Bright indicates she thinks otherwise as well.
