I’m all for satire… but check out Vivian Da Silva below. People are believing what Solanas wrote, not in a satirical sense, but in a very literal way.

I’m all for feminism too! Except when it’s delivered in an artful and satirical document. It’s like, I just don’t get the joke? Is she REALLY advocating the, gulp, murder of all men. Heavens, why don’t people know that we feminists can only handle our theory in a serious and academic format. Well, gotta go study the work of Hitler.

How can you talk in such generalities about a group of people? When mysogynistic men spew out similar hateful speech about women not being able to learn, being too emotional to deal with the workplace, and frankly having only a true spot in a household looking after children with a husband by her side to ensure she doesn’t raise them wrong, it worries me and angers me that people are being generalized like that, and that such awful points of view are still being spread.

When women turn around and do the same thing back to men, with some sort of deluded impression that it’ll help the situation? It disgusts and infuriates me. Solanis was advocating GENDERCIDE. You seem to be too. You could not be more insulting unless you said that Hitler was a prophet and will be missed.

While you’re at it, why not make blacks “obsolete?” They’ve been ‘proven’ to have lower education, and gosh, in their native tribes they are simply -uncivilized.- Oh, and Jews, those dirty rats, all they want is money and control — we should get rid of them too.

….How does advocating a female dominated society differ at all from previous patriarchal views, with the exception of what gender is more powerful? Humanity is a WHOLE, and should not be split into portions by gender, region of origin, religion, sexuality, colour, or any other characteristic. No, women don’t ‘need’ men, but they are a part of our race, and therefore our equals. They deserve the same rights as us, and we deserve the same rights as them. I think every person is “worth their weight,” or at very least has the chance to be so regardless of anything genetically inherited or learned.

Solanas was a prophet and she will be missed. Thank you for commemorating her on her birthday.

The small section of her writing that you presented was something that I find truly horrifying. I would, quite honestly, put it on par with the work of Hitler.

So who does this woman advocate for, if men are such awful beings and women are so incompetent that they can’t even be creative without sex?
