Yes, it was a Joke. But it points up a real question.

Any more than that sort of thing would be tolerated in HoF, where apparently someone like me can get blocked for... um, actually, no reason at all.

You said, quote, "The attempt to conflate sex itself with various oppressive forms of sexual exploitation is the height of disingenuousness."

But I guess it's okay when those folks do it. Sort of like how it's okay to muddy the concept of consent with "nuance" when it's done for a good cause, i.e. explaining how sex is a universal instrument of oppression under "The Patriarchy™".

And in that vein, no, Dworkin did NOT back off from the idea. She qualified it, always, with "under Patriarchy", but as you are no doubt aware, due to it's perpetually un-smashed state, "Under Patriarchy" means "On Planet Earth".
