Andrea Dworkin

Andrea Dworkin gave a speech in 1983 to college students at a school in New York. I found the speech to be very interesting and informative. She talked a lot about sexual assaults on women. To my knowledge, none of my friends have been sexually assaulted so I have never really had a conversation about it. This speech educated me on the different ways women are sexually assaulted and how common it is. The thing I found most interesting in class was our discussion on these different ways that Dworkin talked about.
Incest is one of the ways women are sexually assaulted according to Andrea Dworkin. This is when a family member takes advantage of another family member sexually. This experience is so horrifying that victims almost never recover from it. They think about it everyday and it interferes with their daily activities. Most incest cases involve young children, usually female children that are being sexually assaulted by men. I see how this would definitely affect a child because I have seen it happen to one of my own family members. A distant cousin of mine was molested as a young child by his stepfather. Grant was a great litt

One of the other cases that Dworkin discusses about sexual assault is marital rape. Most rapes happen by someone you know, either an acquaintance, friend or loved one. American media and pop culture often shows the rapists as big, scarry black men who stalk you on your way home from work and rape you in Central Park in New York. Marital rape is an instance where it is all about his word against hers. Also, since the couple is either married, dating or friends, it is much easier to say that the sex was consensual. Dworkin says that being raped by someone you know might even be worse than being raped by an actual stranger. Rape can destroy a woman’s ability to function normally; he is not only raping a woman’s body, but also her soul, self-esteem and trust in men. Women, just like children, almost NEVER recover from rape.

Before our discussion in class and before I read this speech, I never really thought about how horrifying it would be to be raped and how often it is done. To think that one in three women have been sexually assaulted scares me. How often are women actually assaulted and do not report it? How many of
