Dworkin's been pretty well trashed by a number of schools of feminism. Some of her stuff is pretty decent, some is kind of crazy. She's a lot like Ayn Rand in that way. Some okay ideas, but turned up to eleven.
(And there's a LOT of people who radically misunderstand Dworkin as well - she didn't actually say "all sex is rape", or even 'all heterosexual sex is rape')
But - she's not a Dworkin follower, she's a Dworkin FANATIC. There's a difference. Fanatics are only legitimate parts of anything in such that they're bad examples of it.
