Thesis

In Scapegoat, Dworkin compared the oppression of women to the persecution of Jews,[1][failed verification] discussed the sexual politics of Jewish identity and antisemitism, and called for the establishment of a women's homeland as a response to the oppression of women, just as the Zionist movement had established a state for Jews.[2][3][4]

Reception

Scapegoat received a negative review from Kirkus Reviews, stating that Dworkin "exhibits an ignorance of many of the subjects most relevant to her argument" and that she "ends up committing the very sin she seeks to expose, 'scapegoating' all men for all injustice in every period of history."[5]
