“Great Art” proves that men are superior to
women, that men are women, being labeled “Great
Art”, almost all of which, as the anti-feminists
are fond of reminding us, was created by men.
We know that “Great Art” is great because male
authorities have told us so, and we can’t claim
otherwise, as only those with exquisite sensitivities
far superior to ours can perceive and appreciate
the greatness, the proof of their superior
sensitivity being that they appreciate the slop that
they appreciate.”

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

“. Love can’t
flourish in a society based on money and meaningless
work; it requires complete economic as
well as personal freedom, leisure time and the
opportunity to engage in intensely absorbing,
emotionally satisfying activities which, when
shared with those you respect, lead to deep
friendship. Our “society” provides practically no
opportunity to engage in such activities.”
― Valerie Solanas, SCUM Manifesto

“Daddy’s Girl, passive, adaptable, respectful of and in awe of the male, allows him to impose his hideously dull chatter on her. This is not too difficult for her, as the tension and anxiety, the lack of cool, the insecurity and self-doubt, the unsureness of her own feelings and sensations that Daddy instilled in her make her perceptions superficial and render her unable to see that the male’s babble is a babble; like the aesthete “appreciating” the blob that’s labelled “Great Art”, she believes she’s grooving on what bores the shit out of her. Not only does she permit his babble to dominate, she adapts her own “conversation” accordingly.”
