SCUM Manifest by Valerie Solanas
Did not finish book. Stopped at 68%.
So disappointing
It was really poorly written. Solanas would contradict her point a lot, or they would be too convoluted to make any sense.
I knew before hand that it was extremely critical of men. Which I didn’t really have a problem with, but I think her analysis walk to close to just straight up eugenics. Call men a birth defect.
She is also extremely transphobic, which is so disappointing when trans women, are even more likely to be victims of violence from men.
Though she is also extremely cruel and narrow view on women who enjoy sex with men.
