Solanas had some… interesting points.

Some of what she said was silly, some of it was so extreme it was scoffable, but, some of it actually kinda made sense.

The whole prevention of conversation bit? It was pretty much a mix of men talking more than women, talking over women, and mansplaining. Some of the ways she explained it was a bit.. odd…. But the basic idea is there.

Similar to this are her ideas on ‘Great Art’. She mentions that almost all of what is called “great art” was made by a man and that we consider it to be great because the men said so. Which, I mean kinda, most art critics are also men, so…, I guess??

The thing about all of this that got me the most is that she’s serious about this- like, this isn’t satire. She genuinely believes that all men should die. No, let’s do a series of protests or riots to get our demands for equality, no no no, none of that. Death. Men should die. End of. Like, girl, please try to cool down a bit.

In terms of how it’s written…. it reads as a rant with slight refining. The same points are gone over, over and over again, but all the different points do reinforce the central idea. But, the lack of sense, occasionally meandering sentences, giving too many examples for any one point, the spelling and grammatical errors, all point to a hastily written rant.
