Feminist conference to honor Valerie Solanas

Valerie Solonas was a radical man hater who wrote a book about how all men need to be "destroyed". She also shot Andy Warhol.

Oh, but you men don't understand!

When a woman writes a 'final solution' type manifesto against men it just isn't the same as a man being misogynist.

Because when a woman does it, it simply does not matter. That's because she has a vagina. This isn't objectification though.

Tee hee.

I've actually read her manifesto, it was really dumb. Sad, too.

Stupid bitch anyway, trying to kill Andy Warhol...

wow feminist celebrations of a manifesto that is at least man hating or at most psychotic.

Feminists have no business accusing MRAs of hate; it's not like any man has written a "SCAB (Society for Cutting Apart Bitches) Manifesto".

What??? But I thought that feminists were as opposed to Solanas as MRAs? Oh well, the Third-Wave Feminists will surely denounce this conference! Right? Right? Bueller?

i am curious on this one and did some digging seeing that they are apparently associated with the take back the night organisation , so i decided to drop them an email just to see if this hatred is prevelant this is it below and ill post up whatever reply they send.

Im writing with slight concern , my 15 year old daughter was talking about attending the next reclaim the night march and came and asked if we would take her to London for it , before I agreed I did a bit of research on the organisation and in my investigation I came across the following blog .

http://allecto.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/scum-radical-feminist-conference/

The gist of it is that the reclaim the night organisation is associating itself with a celebration of the SCUM manifesto which as you know is quite an extreme text which in essence preaches gender hatred and abuse as shown below .

"Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the y(male) chromosome is an incomplete x(female) chromosome, that is, has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples."

"The sick, irrational men, those who attempt to defend themselves against their disgustingness, when they see SCUM barreling down on them, will cling in terror to Big Mama with her Big Bouncy Boobies, but Boobies won't protect them against SCUM; Big Mama will be clinging to Big Daddy, who will be in the corner shitting in his forceful, dynamic pants. Men who are rational, however, won't kick or struggle or raise a distressing fuss, but will just sit back, relax, enjoy the show and ride the waves to their demise."

After the elimination of money there will be no further need to kill men; they will be stripped of the only power they have over psychologically independent females. They will be able to impose themselves only on the doormats, who like to be imposed on. The rest of the women will be busy solving the few remaining unsolved problems before planning their agenda for eternity and Utopia -- completely revamping educational programs so that millions of women can be trained within a few months for high level intellectual work that now requires years of training (this can be done very easily once our educational goal is to educate and not perpetuate an academic and intellectual elite); solving the problems of disease and old age and death and completely redesigning our cities and living quarters. Many women will for a while continue to think they dig men, but as they become accustomed to female society and as they become absorbed in their projects, they will eventually come to see the utter uselessness and banality of the male."

Now that is just 4 of the quotes and to be honest I read some of the book as did my wife and we are both seriously concerned at the idea of an organisation that is about safety and protection of people, also about equality is associating and giving the weight of its name to an event , we are very much pro equality and teaching everyone to respect their own body and the right to autonomy over it but we don’t want to have our daughter associate with what is in essence hate speech as we have worked hard to make sure she has a respect for all people irrespective of race, religion or gender .

I was hoping you could actually confirm your stance on the association with this celebration so we can make a more informed decision on allowing this to occur.

Regards.

How can feminist honor a woman who supports gendercide, and wrote about inexplicable acts in her manifesto? It's like neo-nazis honoring Hitler for Mein Kampf!

Such an inconsiderate, dumb act will tarnish feminism's reputation further.

Haha yes, "destroy the man's money system". Seventy bucks a ticket...!
