Thinking About How Doctor Who Took The Comforting Sentiment That Is "you Are Not Alone" And Turned It

Richey Edwards for Select magazine, 1994 (source)

transcript under the cut:

What do you think of the feminist arguments about pornography? Richey: "You can understand both sides. Catherine McKinnon said that anybody who looks at say page 3 of 'The Sun', is as guilty as a man who commits a very violent crime against a woman. Well, obviously that's not true, but I understand why there needs to be that strain of thought, why she and Andrea Dworkin are very necessary. On the other extreme, Feminists Against Censorship say that the question of banning page 3 is not worth debating in the Houses of Parliament. People walk past a single mother with three children struggling to get on a public transport system which is falling apart and that's the norm, that's accepted. Feminists Against Censorship are saying that's the important stuff to remedy, rather than page 3." They also say that there's no point in changing page 3, you have to change the whole of 'The Sun'. Richey: "It's that thing of, Does image shape reality and women's condition? Or is it the other way around? It's a hard question. It's the most confusing thing about Andrea Dworkin. I've never been able to work it out and I've thought about her a lot. I've got absolutely no idea what is the right answer." Aren't image and reality intertwined? Richey: "Yes, I think they are really. But with this sort of topic people want you to be black and white. People's reactions to Andrea Dworkin are interesting. If you put her book 'Mercy' in reference to Bret Easton Ellis' 'American Psycho'- the plots are very similar, except they're from two different perspectives, but the violence is the same. And yet 'American Psycho' is completely reviled in literary circles. I like Bret Easton Ellis and I like Andrea Dworkin."
