Violence

What stood out most on our topic of violence is whether the
reciprocation of violence would make a difference. Throughout history we
have seen that a war is at times necessary and I could understand why
Andrea Dworkin would want war on the issues of womanhood, yet this is a
topic of morality and the struggle of power between two sexes. If a
woman retaliates with violence against abuse for revenge, the cycle
continues. Looking in retrospect at her decision to take freedom from
the expectations of a woman by assuming a life as a prostitute only led
her to more hurt and in turn it never freed her from her past. This
certainly applies to the ideal that just because you reciprocate the
action that was done to you, it does not bring healing. I am thankful
for women's rights that stand against domestic violence, rape,
harassment, and suppression of a woman. I recognize that this book
certainly makes you think about what is the limit in violence or
toleration of violence in sex or society overall.
