Quotes by Valerie Solanas  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it 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.”
Valerie Solanas, SCUM Manifesto
tags: males, men

“What will liberate women, therefore, from male control is the total elimination of the money-work system, not the attainment of economic equality with men within it.”
Valerie Solanas, SCUM Manifesto

“The male claim that females find fulfillment through motherhood and sexuality reflects what males think they'd find fulfilling if they were female.”
Valerie Solanas, SCUM Manifesto
