This eulogy is so moving it brought tears to my eyes. It's really a celebration of the life of a uncompromising woman who lived her beliefs every day:
Andrea would pay for her purchases in Susan B. Anthony dollars, refusing any change offered. The exchange of coinage minted with the faces of men was just a another form of rape, like the metallic phalluses the men of the city installed on every block to taunt her. With every hydrant she passed, it felt like being raped a thousand times. Every parking meter was like being raped another thousand times. Lamposts, about three hundred times. Despite their inappropriate names, the mailboxes were actually vaginas, so she had no qualms with them until some MAN came along and thrust a letter inside one. Occasionally, she'd watch as a line of men formed to take turns gleefully violating the mailvagina, until a pimp in a mailMAN outfit would came along and start scooping offspring out its brutalized womb.
She was so very brave.
There will be several services for her. Her funeral and then, of course, sometime in the future, her Mormon baptism-by-proxy.

Posted by: Greg at April 14, 2005 12:42 PMYes, Greg, you are. Having been taken by Donnah once over a Yuschenko post, I will never again fall for her traps. She (and the Larry guy or whoever at BlameBush) is being so completely facetious that it slips right under the radar unless you're prepared for it. Don't feel bad...I think it happens to us all at one time or another. ;-)
I personally feel cheated that I never even knew of Andrea's existence until reading this wonderful eulogy and even more extraordinary picture. Thank you, Donnah, for hipping me to this most beautiful fem sistah, and for giving me something else to Google.

Posted by: Amy at April 14, 2005 01:24 PMI just found your site via trackback from BlameBush! and after reading the genius stroke of working in a Mormon baptism-by-proxy, I HAD to blogroll you.
Great work!

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at April 14, 2005 03:41 PMAll the scientists in the universe should have flown in to study the world-class chip that woman had on her shoulder.
CY: No doubt she'd complain that her disembodied spirit was being raped by a billion Mormons.
Thanks for the compliment, and also the link. It's been reciprocated.
Holy crap! I was so scared after reading that post...
Ya got me.

Posted by: PB at April 15, 2005 03:07 AMAndrea Dworkin advanced a theory of being mad all the time. Few bought it. Gender feminism is dead outside the MSM.
Posted by: David L at April 15, 2005 02:02 PMWill she buried in a phallic shaped casket? Maybe they can find her something womb-like to be buried in.
If ever there has been an argument for liberalism being a psychiatric disorder this woMAN is it!
Posted by: Janette at April 15, 2005 09:22 PMShe was very disturbed. If you'd ever read her rape story from a few years back, you'd see how much.
