SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas
1.0

how to start... reading this was a bit insulting to say the least. it appears that solanas doesn't deem women capable of differentiating between drivel and 'engaging' conversation. solanas acts like women worship men and can't think for themselves and need guidance through man-hating propaganda to allow women to 'see the light'. therefore undermining our intelligence while insulting men.

men are described as walking patrick bateman's of the world.

there's this section where she says that women who are used to the system of restraints and maleness "don't know what freedom is" but earlier solanas places a hierarchy in SCUM. wouldn't this mean there have to be certain levels and protocols in a top-down system through her 'power' distribution. how would women have 'freedom' in her utopia if it's directed on someone else's terms?
