I think we found Glenda Beck.

Tells you everything about a movement that glorifies someone who tried to murder a person for attention.

I do think it would be a really useful classroom piece alongside a historical work that does the same to women.

Can someone show me a historical work that does the same to women?

It's interesting that the commenters for the post understand the value of the work (mainly, as cautionary against that kind of writing) more than Goldman. I can't believe she said she was a "fan" of Solarna. I hope that was some kind of sick joke. The rest of her post seems to mirror the ideas in the comments.

Why are we paying any attention to that nut?
It's a big world. There are a zillion nuts on the internet. Some of them write blogs. Some of them are crazy. Some of them are crazy and write blogs. Let's not freak out about nutty blog writers, and construe this person's opinion with "what women think."

No way she's actually names "Emma Goldman".

... and the feminists who read the blog post replies saying they think the manifesto is "hateful and offensive" or possibly OK only if it's some sort of Swiftian satire.

So, really, all you've discovered here is one blogger who's a bit of a nut. Not exactly an indictment of feminism at large.
