"The MacKinnon quote about how "all heterosexual intercourse is rape" is old news."
Catherine MacKinnon never said that. If you googled a little, you would learn that the urban legend is that Andrea Dworkin said it. Of course, Dworkin didn't say it either. Google the Michael Moorecock interview with Dworkin to learn where that legend came from.
Meanwhile the rest of this interview is a travesty. You spend most of the time complaining about how women are oppressed by societal expectations, and spend very little time actually addressing the creepy neo-con politics that come next.
O'Beirne's publicist couldn't have picked a better stooge. I hope readers unfamiliar with the debate don't think it's a choice between you and O'Beirne.
