How did VAWA, the most unconstitutional, sexist legislation, become adopted and why? – In the January 24, 2000 issue of the U. S. News, on p. 12, a syndicated columnist John Leo wrote:
“The Violence Against Women Act slipped into law in 1994 without most members of Congress quite knowing what they were passing. We have Andrea Dworkin's word on this. Dworkin is surely a contender for the North American title of most overwrought, man-hating feminist. She told the New Republic at the time that the only possible explanation for the bill's popularity in the Senate was the 'senators don't understand the meaning of the legislation that they pass.'”
Andrea Dworkin is credited with laying the “cultural” foundation, and Catharine A. Mackinnon, “the most quoted lawyer in America

“I keep practicing horse position…and I kick good; I can kick to the knee and I can kick to the cock but I can't kick to the solar plexus and I can't kick his fucking head off… I fucking smash their faces in; I kick them; I hit them; I kick them blind; I like smashing their faces in with one kick, I like dancing on their chests,…with my toes, big, swinging kicks, and I like one big one between the legs, for the sake of form and symbolism, to pay my respects to content as such... I like smashing the bottles into their fucking faces and I like taking the knives, for my collection; I like knives. I find them drunk and lying down and I hurt them and I run; and I fucking don't care about fair; discuss fair at the U.N.; vote on it; from which I enunciate another political principle, It is obscene for a girl to think about fair.”[Fn-1]
The legal brain behind VAWA, Catharine A. MacKinnon, was described in the feminist magazine Bust Guide to the New Girl Order (Nina Hartley, 1999) as a “bitter and angry” advocate who “silences women”:
"Don’t even get me started on MacKinnon... Now I’d just look at her and shake my head… and say, “You know what, I’m really sorry you are that bitter and angry,” cuz that’s what it is. It’s her fuel. It’s what drives her.
… I do believe she is deluded, and I do believe anger and fear and jealousy and resentment and frustration and out-and-out prudery are what drive her, are her motivating forces... MacKinnon really does feel like she is helping women, while at the same time, she and Dworkin and their ilk silence women.”
The many tirades by Catharine A. MacKinnon, a Yale-educated law professor, whose reputation for being a humorless control freak rivals even that of Dworkin, were summed up by her critics:
“All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman.”
Objectivity, facts and logic have nothing whatsoever to do with MacKinnon’s brain-child, “feminist jurisprudence,” which resulted in propagation of the “Family Law” throughout the states, and in adoption of VAWA. "Feminist jurisprudence" seeks to eliminate logic and to give women a distinct, pronounced legal advantage to compensate for alleged inequities of the “patriarchal” society, and so MacKinnon demands legal asymmetry favoring women.
