Valerie Solanas really said 'fuck men'. Was this manifesto ironic? Or was it dead serious?
Whilst reading I kept thinking, she has a point. Only for Solanas to take her argument as extreme as it could possibly go.
Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with Solanas' 'solutions' to patriarchy, but I completely understand where she's coming from. This is just to say, even if the plant is venomous, the ground it took root in nourished it. Solanas was hurt by the world, by men, and it could be heard a mile away.
