Oh, I agree. That doesn't actually deal with the problem of unfortunate generalisation from "violent behavior and intimidation often seen among men" to "male behavior", an unfortunate generalisation to which she seems prone.

Forgiving, sympathetic/ empathetic reading reveals much that is positive about Dworkin's work.

The problem with such reading is that most of us are biased in our application of it. Is it right to read Dworkin with careful understanding when we scrutinise others for the slightest sign of bigotry in their words?

Not that the converse is any better, of course.
