When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”
After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

I did read Dworkin. She was very plain about:
a) women are, as a class, oppressed
In fact, this could be said to underpin pretty much everything she wrote
b) oppressed individuals can not be taken to have autonomy within an oppressive system, especially not with respect to what the system's favoured people may require of them
Over and over again, in fact.
The rest simply follows, and before you say that it was a twisted version, may I point out that the whole PIV-is-rape thing gained substantial currency among her own followers.
Now go ahead, and explain these supposed mystical subtleties that I, and many of Dworkin's followers, are missing. Book and page references would be better, so that I can confirm.
Go on, do your scholarship.
