ANDREA DWORKIN DEAD: At the age of 59. Via the DVDVR. And Majikthise.Who notes the dearth of media commentary about her death.

And Camille Paglia loses one of her greatest foils. Seriously--would Pags have ever taken off like she did if she didn't have Dworkin and MacKinnon to play off of? Not that Pags is as big as she was, and claiming to have invented the blog is no way to get back into the limelight, but still. Would she have been the big 90s-era political correctness-backlash figure without Dworkin and MacKinnon, is the proper question I guess.
