Andrea Dworkin has died, and all the bloggers are talking. The question is, will andrea_dworkin, the ambivalent love-hunter on Spring Street Networks (which administers the Salon and Nerve personals, among others), expire as well? I noticed her about a year ago, and she appears to be going strong (if not especially active). Some highlights from the profile:

Occupation: professional victim

Cigarettes: Sometimes
Booze: Sometimes
Drugs: Sometimes
Self-love: Often
Self-deprecation: Often

Most humbling moment:
the defeat of the PVCA (Pornography Victim's Compensation Act) in 1993.

Favorite on-screen sex scene:
sex is filthy, violent and demeaning to all women.

If I could be anywhere at the moment:
anywhere with my hands around the throat of susie bright.

Song or album that puts me in the mood:
these boots were made for walkin'

The five items I can't live without:
my fucked up system of morals
my hair
copies of my books
susie bright effigy
my ego

Fill in the blanks: ambiguity is sexy; asexuality is sexier

In my bedroom, you'll find: two beds

It's not exactly a nuanced portrait, but I happen to know that at least a few men (not women's studies majors, it's reasonable to assume) fell for the anonymous prankster's ruse and wrote to the un-Andrea with ire and confusion. She would've liked that, I think.
