The Resume

    (September 26, 1946-April 9, 2005)
    Wrote 'Intercourse,' 'Mercy' and 'Pornography: Men Possessing Women'
    Co-authored the 'Model Anti-Pornography Ordinance' for the Minneapolis City Council with Catherine MacKinnon

Why she might be annoying:

    Like Catherine MacKinnon, she believed that heterosexual sex is rape.
    Although she is against heterosexuality, she wrote in favor of bestiality and incest.
    Some of her followers are for the destruction of whatever they deem to be pornography.
    Her 'Model Anti-Pornography Ordinance' would have allowed anyone who was the victim of sexual assault to sue any producer or distributor of pornography for damages, even if there was no evidence linking the use of the pornography to assault.
    She developed definitions of pornography and erotica that were fairly vague and meaningless, and left no real difference between the two.
    She says that she stopped loving her mother after her mother repudiated her.
    She really really hates the A.C.L.U.
    She wants an androgynous society.
    Although she claims to hate the political right, they have been great allies in the anti-pornography movement.
    Although she is a radical feminist lesbian, she married her male partner (1998).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She wasn't afraid to tackle controversial topics.
    She was very dedicated to her brand of feminism.
