So you think the significance of the story is how Dinah's brothers reacted to her being raped, is that what you mean? And what is the lesson behind how they reacted?
Excuse me if I may say so Penumbra, but you don't come across as entirely sex positive. I may be wrong but I thought sex positive feminists accepted prostitution and think it can be a positive/non-sexist form of work for women?
She was not a man-hater, but I honestly don't care if she did hate men in her personal time, some of her work took her years to write, it would of been much simpler and easier and less time consuming to have a rant about hating men and she didn't.
The JW view is that it is a moral story illustrating "bad association," that Dinah was raped for associating with loose women who were not Gods people and that sexual exploitation can be avoided by associating only with those who uphold Gods high standards.
What is the significance of the story...
I agree that it is very pessimistic. I also agree that because of our biology it is easier for a male partner to take advantage his female partner than his female partner take advantage of him.
Here is why I think she is pessimistic. Is intercourse really much of an option of women as other sex...
I saw the snopes article but I would have to see the original to believe it I'm afraid and assess if it is a credible newspaper article. This is because too much BS has been said about her.
That's ok, here is a video of the character her name is poison

Basically what she is saying is that men have said that that is the natural use of a woman's body, that that is how "the God that does not exist made her."
I disagree that she is saying that is how intercourse naturally is, but that is how men have written about intercourse as we see from the next paragraph:
"The discourse of male truth-literature, science, philosophy, pornogrpahy-calls that penetration violation. This it does with some consistency...
So I was just discussing with someone on the forums about the JW view of the rape of Dinah.
And I wanted to know what is the Jewish understanding of the rape of Dinah, what is the significance of the story?
Oh sorry the reference to the womb was because of how the hormones of the female during pregnancy can determine if a male foetus is gay or not, or something like that. So how would the development of the foetus determine if someone is a sub or dom, is what I meant.
