Valerie Solanas

Valerie Solanas’ article is something of an extremist viewpoint from the perspective a feminist. If it were to be viewed as a satirical work, it might have been taken more seriously than it originally was. It doesn’t read as a criticism of the male dominated world, but as a full on expression of hatred toward the male gender. Some of her arguments do seem valid but they’re masked in the ramblings of a lunatic. She is right that the world is dominated by men and unjustly so. Men do not have anything that makes them superior in anyway to a woman. It is a shame that so many causes are lost in the lunacy of the person leading the way. It becomes so easy for “the other side” to discredit their opponents when their arguments are expressed in the way Solanas’ arguments are.
