Andrea Dworkin set the position of women, like me, back so much it's hard to overstate. Her angry, bitter and rabidly far far far far left railings against societal norms were so intellectually fragile they fell apart on the simplest examination.

For a generation of fair minded men willing to give a woman like me a chance in the legal world, Dworkin became the best/worst case argument against allowing people like me a chance to succeed.

Please don't celebrate someone like Andrea Dworkin who provided thoughtless ammunition to risk adverse managers eager to do the right thing but who were unable to progress people like me because people like Andrea Bloody Dworkin made us look unstable.
