Intercourse, by: Andrea Dworkin - Feminish

A primary goal o f the sexual aggressor, it is clear, is the conquestand degradation o f his victim. We repeatedly found thataggressors used such language as “ Fight or fuck, ” “ We’re goingto take your manhood, ” “You’ll have to give up some face, ” and“ W e’re gonna make a girl out o f you. ” Some o f the assaultswere reminiscent o f the custom in some ancient societies ofcastrating or buggering a defeated enemy. 9The rape is literal in forced sex acts, castration, and murder.For instance, Jewish men were castrated in medical experimentsin the concentration camps; black men were castrated interrorist attacks in the Deep South. There was secret forcedsex and open murder. The rape is also metaphoric: stripped ofdignity and selfhood, invaded, culturally defamed, civilly inferior,powerless to advance his own honor, pornographized as ifgang-banged and left to die.The racist program has unfailing ideological landmarks.The racially despised male is stigmatized as a sexual savage, arapist by nature; as Hitler wrote,With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youthlurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with hisblood, thus stealing her from her people. 10The race that is despised is physically filthy; as Hitler wrote,The cleanliness of this people, moral and otherwise, I mustsay, is a point in itself. By their very exterior you could tell thatthese were no lovers of water, and, to your distress, you oftenknew it with your eyes closed. Later I often grew sick to mystomach from the smell of these caftan-wearers. 11
