great critique on the role of the patriarchy in family dynamics. some of the ramblings clearly influenced by mental illness… unfortunately terfy. uncomfortable read in some parts. sadly it is unrealistic for women to kill all men ….
I found the manifesto itself much more appealing than the introduction -- in fact, I'd go so far as to say it should stand alone without introduction. I don't know much about the background of Solanas, beyond a conversation or two and the intro, but I choose to read the manifesto as satire. Read that way, I found myself laughing, well, chuckling internally from time to time. Afterall, nothing is *just* satire.
The intro left me cold. It struck me as someone that looks at a piece of art and waxes poetically about what it meant to the artist, to society as a whole, the intention and considerations behind it, explores every choice and decision -- without having met the artist. I don't know if that's the case for Ronell and Solanas and I certainly defer to those that know more.
Incidentally, at what point does something cease being an individual, isolated act and become indicative of a larger narrative? Repudiation of oppression in society or attempted murder?
