Intercourse
Book • 1987
In 'Intercourse', Andrea Dworkin presents a critical examination of heterosexual intercourse, arguing that it is often a central part of women's subordination to men in a male supremacist society.
She analyzes various literary and cultural works, such as 'The Kreutzer Sonata', 'Madame Bovary', and 'Dracula', to illustrate how depictions of intercourse reinforce male dominance and violence against women.
Dworkin emphasizes that the experience of heterosexual intercourse is shaped by the social context of male dominance, which affects women's self-determination and their perception of sex.
She argues for a reciprocal and non-aggressive form of sexual intercourse that does not subordinate women.
