She Had A Reason For Wanting To Cut Up Men!
|
Valerie Solanas was a radical feminist and a Lesbian. She had very specific ideas about society, culture, the gender programming between the sexes and Andy Warhol. She shot Andy after she wrote the Manifesto. But in many ways he was a contributor to her philosophy and that of the Society For Cutting Up Men. (S.C.U.M.)
Valerie shot Andy Warhol in 1968. She died 20 years later of emphysema and pneumonia in the Bristol Hotel in San Francisco California. She was 52 years old.
Troubled as she was she possessed a keen insight into the human condition. Especially responsible for this impression on her personal experience was Men. Humans are essentially selfish, self-absorbed and vicious. Valerie knew that first hand. Had she been tested I have no doubt she would have registered a genius IQ. As it is many see her as having died as a worthless indigent junkie Dyke.While nothing could be further from the real truth.
Valerie was rich in the human experience. She was keen to the tricks of the trade in human politics and social conscience. And she shot Andy Warhol because he deserved it and so as to make them both famous in that immortal meeting between the minds of two spirits that saw this world as something more and far less than the plastic bloated facade that lives to this day thinking itself an example of civil~ization.
Rest in Peace Valerie. And thank you for the wisdom, page after page. (Yes dear reader you have to look deeper to see past the scum.) |
