Was I On Something?
Following a class discussion on the SCUM Manifesto, I realized that I made the ever grave mistake of seeing men as people. While I stand by what I said in that specific context, men at the time of the writing of the SCUM Manifesto and even now have never taken… Read more“Was I On Something?”
The SCUM Manifesto: Onto Something or On Something?
The SCUM Manifesto is the most enjoyable text I have read this semester. Valerie Solanas, the author of the text, is a radical feminist, and the text shows this incredibly well. Despite enjoying the reading, I disagree with Solanas on almost every point she makes, as it is clear that… Read more“The SCUM Manifesto: Onto Something or On Something?”
Triumph of the Will
Triumph of the Will is Nazi propaganda disguised as a general documentary. It is long, uninteresting, and above all else, sleep inducing.
