SCUM Manifesto

Valerie Solanas

3.69 AVERAGE


There is a claim she is being ironic but even still, her claims are selfish in that she cares not for the opinions of anyone other than herself and those who agree.
challenging dark funny inspiring fast-paced

been wanting to read this for years, finally borrowed it off nancy. some good points, some bioessentialist points, some confusing points. Didn’t know anything about valerie until the end of the book. interesting

god i love misandry <333
slow-paced

 Considering also the author's life as well as the historical context, it still seems to me an excessive pamphlet from any point of view, although some arguments about patriarchy are still valid today.

Considerata anche la vita dell'autrice oltre che al contesto storico, mi sembra comunque un pamphlet eccessivo da qualsiasi punto di vista, nonostante alcuni argomenti sul patriarcato siano tutt'ora validi.

Really the cause of all the worlds problems are women because they choose to have kids, even though they know 50% are going to come out with an F-ed up chromosome (men).


Prose 3/5; Ideas 2/5

Go off, Valerie !!!

female rage at its finest
challenging dark informative reflective tense medium-paced

Less of a commentary on feminism, more of a commentary on the patriarchy through the female lense during the late 60s
