Why I Am Myself

I have mixed feelings about Andrea Dworkin. Even as a feminist, I can admit she is a tough pill to swallow. Even so, there are some sentiments which she and I share. This is one of them.

“I have been asked, politely and not so politely, why I am myself. This is an accounting any woman will be called on to give if she asserts her will.”
