Ten things meme.

Ten things I've done, which you probably haven't:

1. Dyed monkeys various colors, using Manic Panic hair dye.
2. Seen a Nobel Prize winner naked.
3. Interviewed Transylvanian villagers about their parenting practices.
4. Had ten major surgeries by age 20.
5. Eaten fire.
6. Been thrown out of the Oregon statehouse while brandishing a turkey baster.
7. Been required to supply regular blood samples as a condition of employment.
8. Driven around Nashville at 3am with someone I had just met, looking for someplace to buy condoms.[1]
9. Routinely had people committed to locked psychiatric wards.
10. Driven Mary Daly around in my car.


[1] One of the people on my Friends list has done this. But I bet the rest of you haven't.

Andrea Dworkin said all penetration is rape.

She didn't, actually, but is commonly misquoted (along with Catherine MacKinnon) as having said so.

Not that I think very highly of Dworkin or MacKinnon regardless.

Oops. Well, damn, I wish I knew where I got that so I could discount other information from the same source. Sigh.

What did she say that was misquoted in this way? Or was it an outright fabrication like the bra burning stories?
