My Name Is Andrea - Review (2022) | Andrea Dworkin Documentary | Tribeca Film Festival 2022

My Name Is Andrea review by Big Gold Belt Media
-
Synopsis:
Decades before #MeToo, the iconoclastic feminist, writer and public intellectual Andrea Dworkin called out sexism and rape culture with revolutionary flair. But culture was not kind to the outspoken Dworkin, and her impact was lost among a cacophony of controversy. With this film, the viewer is invited to reconsider the legacy of one of the most misunderstood figures of the 20th century.

In 1983 Andrea Dworkin gave one of her most powerful speeches to a roomful of 500 men. Entitled: “I Want a Twenty-Four-Hour Truce During Which There Is No Rape” This quote from it always breaks me. “As a feminist, I carry the rape of all the women l've talked to over the last ten years personally with me. As a woman, I carry my own rape with me. Do you remember pictures that you've seen of European cities during the plague, when there were wheelbarrows that would go along and people would just pick up corpses and throw them in? Well, that is what it is like knowing about rape. Piles and piles and piles of bodies that have whole lives and human names and human faces.” And this quote about how it is radical feminists who are the ones who believe men can be better: “Have you ever wondered why we are not just in armed combat against you? Its not because theres a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence. We do not want to do the work of helping you to believe in your humanity. We cannot do it anymore. We have always tried. We have been repaid with systematic exploitation and systematic abuse...” “… And how could I ask you for less-it is so little. And how could you offer me less: it is so little. Even in wars, there are days of truce. Go and organize a truce. Stop your side for one day. I want a twenty-four-hour truce during which there is no rape.” Anyone who hasn't read this brilliant speech Andrea Dworkin gave to a room full of 500 hundred men in 1983 really ought to.

Thank you

[@saitaro]

Did she mean that all men are rapists or those 500 were convicted of rape? What did she mean by "truce"?

[@robertthompson-un3go]

​@@saitaro read the books 📚

​@@robertthompson-un3go The question is very simple, you don't need "the books" to answer.

Couldn't agree more!! Andrea's courageous commitment to elevating the voices of people, especially women, who are suffering, was born out of a deep compassion and a belief that another kind of world is possible…a world that disavows cruelty and embraces a truly egalitarian society. Time to read her works and listen to her voice again!! Thanks for your thoughtful, heartfelt review of this film.

[@lorainelevi2285]

Thank you for your enthusiastic review!This film is s showing in Cambridge,MA on Nov 5th as part of our Jewish Film Festival. Thanks for your insightful review. I was a young woman when feminism was born. It has influenced my entire life. It is disheartening to still have the patriarchy trying to control women's bodies and lives. We must keep fighting for women's rights, human rights. Vote! Thanks 🙏

I have read Interc_urse by Dworkin and it is so on point revealing the damage that p*rn does to people (both men and women), but at the same time the tone of her writing is calm and curiously loving...towards humanity in general. She doesn't come across as an angry feminist fighter who wants to destruct everything. She is an understanding and warm person who values deeply the erotic in intimate relations. I find it very painful how much she was mocked and hated in public debate, and still is, by people who don't have a clue what she wrote and thought and advocated for. Bravo, Andrea!

I can tell you are an ally to women. Thanks for the review, looking forward to seeing this!

Great review, I'm looking forward to watching it! Thank you.

It's great to hear a man praise Andrea Dworkin.

[@cheryl5667]

Right?! I don't think I've EVER heard it before, much less a younger guy say anything charitable about her at all despite how brilliant she is.

[@adamz809]

Where can I watch this???

[@hmoto7108]

I can't wait for this.

[@vekkstar]

I want to see this, but I can't find a copy online. I used to read Dworkin in the 1990s and I've been watching some clips. She's very cogent.

[@estherlopez7809]

I just saw this film at the Denver Film Festival and it blew me away. Her commitment and time spent on women’s rights is so impactful to this day. Definitely a film I hope everyone gets a chance to see

[@cheryl5667]

Andrea Dworkin hated men and strongly believed that women are never safe in a world they have to share with men. She was a supporter of an idea envisioning a sovereign, democratic nation only inhabited by women. Futhermore, she wanted all the women in the world to become lesbians. This is all I could understand about her. Someone correct me, forgive me and explain to me if I've got anything wrong.

[@BigGoldBelt]

Hated men is completely inaccurate

[@plurabelle5]

“I don’t believe rape is inevitable or natural. If I did, I would have no reason to be here. If I did, my political practice would be different than it is. Have you ever wondered why we [women] are not just in armed combat against you? It’s not because there’s a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence.” --- "“The accounts of rape, wife beating, forced childbearing, medical butchering, sex-motivated murder, forced prostitution, physical mutilation, sadistic psychological abuse, and other commonplaces of female experience that are excavated from the past or given by contemporary survivors should leave the heart seared, the mind in anguish, the conscience in upheaval. But they do not. No matter how often these stories are told, with whatever clarity or eloquence, bitterness or sorrow, they might as well have been whispered in wind or written in sand: they disappear, as if they were nothing. The tellers and the stories are ignored or ridiculed, threatened back into silence or destroyed, and the experience of female suffering is buried in cultural invisibility and contempt… the very reality of abuse sustained by women, despite its overwhelming pervasiveness and constancy, is negated. It is negated in the transactions of everyday life, and it is negated in the history books, left out, and it is negated by those who claim to care about suffering but are blind to this suffering. The problem, simply stated, is that one must believe in the existence of the person in order to recognize the authenticity of her suffering. Neither men nor women believe in the existence of women as significant beings. It is impossible to remember as real the suffering of someone who by definition has no legitimate claim to dignity or freedom, someone who is in fact viewed as some thing, an object or an absence. And if a woman, an individual woman multiplied by billions, does not believe in her own discrete existence and therefore cannot credit the authenticity of her own suffering, she is erased, canceled out, and the meaning of her life, whatever it is, whatever it might have been, is lost. This loss cannot be calculated or comprehended. It is vast and awful, and nothing will ever make up for it.”" --- “Being female in this world means having been robbed of the potential for human choice by men who love to hate us. One does does not make choices in freedom. Instead, one conforms in body type and behavior and values to become an object of male sexual desire, which requires an abandonment of a wide-ranging capacity for choice... Men too make choices. When will they choose not to despise us?” --- Who hates who, Siddharth?

[@superhetoric]

lol, everything wrong, actually.

[@livinglux9107]

You might be thinking of Valerie Solanas … Andrea didn’t advocate for those things lol

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

That's just not true. She adored her father and was supported by him which is why when she went out into the world and encountered misogynistic men, she was very surprised. You must also remember she was a victim of very severe domestic violence so her views of sex might be controversial but so what? If you think you support women then you need to still be by our side when we say things that you might not like.
