Quote by Andrea Dworkin

Women, for centuries not having access to pornography and now unable to bear looking at the muck on the supermarket shelves, are astonished. Women do not believe that men believe what pornography says about women. But they do. From the worst to the best of them, they do.


Women, for centuries not having access to pornography and no

Summary

This quote highlights the astonishment felt by women who have been excluded from access to pornography for centuries, only to be confronted by its explicit portrayal in modern society. The author notes that women are surprised because they do not believe that men truly perceive women in the way pornography depicts them. However, the author claims that men, irrespective of their character or social standing, do indeed internalize the messages conveyed by pornography. This quote suggests that the pervasive influence of pornography has shaped men's perception of women, which may lead to misunderstandings and misjudgments.
