Meet Valerie Solanas (April 9, 1936 – April 25, 1988) — feminist hero, attempted murderer, and author of The SCUM Manifesto. SCUM is believed to be an acronym for a "Society for Cutting Up Men."

Here are a couple of highlights from the manifesto:

Quote:

Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation, and destroy the male sex.

Quote:

The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, 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.

Quote:

Every boy want to imitate his mother, be her, fuse with her, but Daddy forbids this; he is the mother; he gets to fuse with her. So he tells the boy, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, to not be a sissy, to act like a "Man." The boy, scared shitless of and "respecting" his father, complies, and becomes just like Daddy, that model of "Man"-hood, and all-American ideal - the well-behaved heterosexual dullard.

A lot of feminists have tried to play this off as satire; it's even categorized as satire on the Wikipedia page. But the author herself said that she was "dead serious" when she wrote it.
