SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solonas is not only funny, but also the perfect portrait of female rage.
I enjoyed reading this manifesto and it had me smiling the whole time.
Solonas has put into writing what goes through my mind.
However, one should also keep in mind that Solonas wrote this book in the 60's and therefore her ideas are very much based on a binary gender system.
Much of what she says in the manifesto is deeply transphobic from today's perspective.
That being said, Valerie Solonas shouldn't be known for shooting Andy Warhol, but rather for being a queer icon.
