Valerie Solanas Quotes

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.

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

Every man, deep down, knows he's a worthless piece of shit.

A woman not only takes her identity and individuality for granted, but knows instinctively that the only wrong is to hurt others, and that the meaning of life is love.

In actual fact, the female function is to explore, discover, invent, solve problems crack jokes, make music -- all with love. In other words, create a magic world.

The male has a negative Midas Touch -- everything he touches turns to shit.

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.

To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo. It's often said that men use women. Use them for what ?Surely not pleasure.

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.

There's no reason why a society consisting of rational beings capable of empathizing with each other, complete and having no natural reason to compete, should have a government, laws, or leaders.

If SCUM ever marches, it will be over the President's stupid, sickening face; if SCUM ever strikes, it will be in the dark with a six-inch blade.

Eaten up with guilt, shame, fears and insecurities and obtaining, if he's lucky, a barely perceptible physical feeling, the male is, nonetheless, obsessed with screwing; he'll swim a river of snot, wade nostril-deep through a mile of vomit, if he thinks there'll be a friendly pussy awaiting him. He'll screw a woman he despises, any snaggle-toothed hag, and, further, pay for the opportunity. Why? Relieving physical tension isn't the answer, as masturbation suffices for that. It's not ego satisfaction; that doesn't explain screwing corpses and babies.

SCUM will become members of the unwork force, the fuck-up force; they will get jobs of various kinds and unwork... SCUM office and factory workers, in addition to fucking up their work, will secretly destroy equipment. SCUM will unwork at a job until fired, then get a new job to unwork at.

Dropping out is not the answer; fucking-up is.

A true community consists of individuals -- not mere species members, not couples -- respecting each others individuality and privacy, at the same time interacting with each other mentally and emotionally -- free spirits in free relation to each other -- and co-operating with each other to achieve common ends.

BONGI: Very fucky world we live in. My only consolation’s that I’m me – vivacious, dynamic, single and a queer.

Sex is the refuge of the mindless. And the more mindless the woman, the more deeply embedded in the male “culture”, in short, the nicer she is, the more sexual she is.

Every man, deep down, knows he'a a piece of shit.

On the contrary, the male has a vested interest in ignorance; it gives the few knowledgeable men a decided edge on the unknowledgeable ones, and besides, the male knows that an enlightened, aware female population will mean the end of him. The healthy, conceited female wants the company of equals whom she can respect and groove on; the male and the sick, insecure, unself-confident male female crave the company of worms.

O yüzden çözüm kadınları özgürleştirecek olan para-iş sisteminin tamamen ortadan kaldırılmasıdır; erkeklerle iktisadi eşitlik sağlanması değil.

şiddet" "baskı"nın karşısında ortaya çıktığında, kurumsallaşmış şiddetin bir reddidir. Böyle eylemler kahramanlıktır... ti-grace atkinson

Yüksek" eğitimin amacı eğitmek değil, mümkün olduğunca fazla sayıda insanı çeşitli mesleklerden dışlamaktır.

GINGER: The hand that rocks the craddle rules the world. BONGI: That's a slick little maxim — while the hand's rocking the craddle it won't be rocking the boat.

The purpose of “higher” education is not to educate but to exclude as many as possible from the various professions

No genuine social revolution can be accomplished by the male, as the male on top wants the status quo, and all the male on the bottom wants is to be the male on top.

Yüksek" eğitim sistemimizin katılığı, sıkıcılığı, pahalılığı, zaman tüketiciliği ve adaletsiz dıştalayıcılığı bir sürü potansiyel biliminsanının bilimsel kariyerden uzaklaşmasına yol açar.

... those females least embedded in male “culture,” the least nice, those crass and simple souls who reduce fucking to fucking, who are too childish for the grown-up world of suburbs, mortgages, mops and baby shit, too selfish to raise kids and husbands, too uncivilized to give a shit for anyone’s opinion of them, too arrogant to respect Daddy, […] in short, those who, by the standards of our “culture” are SCUM … these females are cool and relatively cerebral and skirting asexuality.

GINGER: So nice to meet you, Bongi. Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself. What’re your vices? BONGI: I have no vices – I never drink, gamble or work.

RUSSEL. When he grows up I want to be able to point to him and say: "There goes my son -- the man". I want to live in a masculine culture. BONGI. That's a contradiction in terms.

Life in a society made by and for creatures who, when they are not grim and depressing are utter bores, can only be, when not grim and depressing, an utter bore.

it’s not enough to do good; to save their worthless asses men must also avoid evil

Although he wants to be an individual, the male is scared of anything in himself that is the slightest bit different from other men; it causes him to suspect he’s not really a “Man"...

Kendisindeki farklılık kadar, başka erkeklerdeki farklılık da onu tehdit eder; bunun anlamı onların ibne olduklarıdır ve ne pahasına olursa olsun onlardan uzak durması gerekir o yüzden bütün erkeklerin benzeştiğinden emin olmak ister

Although he wants to be an individual, the male is scared of anything in himself that is the slightest bit different from other men; it causes him to suspect he’s not really a “Man”, that he’s passive and totally sexual, a highly upsetting suspicion.

GINGER. He and I established the most wonderful rapport. I think he's infatuated with me; he kept grabbing my ass and telling me how different I am. I think he senses the rebel in me. I've always been in rebellion ever since I was a kid. I remember how whenever my father's tell me to pick my toys up I'd stamp my foot and say "No" twice before picking them up. Oh, I was a mean one. My latest rebellion is my childhood religion; I've just rebelled against that. I used to be High Episcopalian. BONGI. What're you now? GINGER. Low Epicsopalian.

Warhol himself was never anything but a kind of hologram. Famous people came to the Factory to hover around him without being able to get anything from him, but they tried to pass through him as you might with a filter or a camera lens, which is what he had in effect become. Valerie Solanas was even to try to shatter that lens by shooting at it, to pass through the hologram to establish that blood could still flow from it. So we can agree with Warhol: `You can't get more superficial than me and live'. And he nearly didn't come out of it alive.

Also, the problem of mental illness will never be solved while the male maintains control, because first, men have a vested interest in it—only females who have very few of their marbles will allow males the slightest bit of control over anything, and second, the male cannot admit to the role that fatherhood plays in causing mental illness.

More and more males are acquiring enlightened self-interest; they’re realizing more and more that the female interest is their interest, that they can live only through the female and that the more the female is encouraged to live, to fulfil herself, to be a female and not a male, the more nearly he lives; he’s coming to see that it’s easier and more satisfactory to live through her than to try to become her and usurp her qualities.

Incapable of a positive state of happiness, which is the only thing that can justify one’s existence, the male is, at best, relaxed, comfortable, neutral, and this condition is extremely short-lived, as boredom, a negative state, soon sets in; he is, therefore, doomed to an existence of suffering relieved only by occasional, fleeting stretches of restfulness, which state he can achieve only at the expense of some female. The male is, by his very nature, a leech, an emotional parasite and, therefore, not ethically entitled to live, as no one has the right to live at someone else’s expense.

The few remaining men can exist out their puny days dropped out on drugs or strutting around in drag or passively watching the high-powered female in action, fulfilling themselves as spectators, vicarious liver*, or breeding in the cow pasture with the toadies, or they can go off to the nearest friendly suicide center where they will be quietly, quickly, and painlessly gassed to death. Prior to the institution of automation, to the replacement of males by machines, the male should be of use to the female, wait on her, cater to her slightest whim, obey her every command, be totally subservient to her, exist in perfect obedience to her will, as opposed to the completely warped, degenerate situation we have now of men, not only not only not existing at all, cluttering up the world with their ignominious presence, but being pandered to and groveled before by the mass of females, millions of women piously worshiping the Golden Calf, the dog leading the master on a leash, when in fact the male, short of being a drag queen, is least miserable when his dogginess is recognized – no unrealistic emotional demands are made of him and the completely together female is calling the shots. Rational men want to be squashed, stepped on, crushed and crunched, treated as the curs, the filth that they are, have their repulsiveness confirmed. The sick, irrational men, those who attempt to defend themselves against their disgustingness, when they see SCUM barreling down on them, will cling in terror to Big Mama with her Big Bouncy Boobies, but Boobies won’t protect them against SCUM; Big Mama will be clinging to Big Daddy, who will be in the corner shitting in his forceful, dynamic pants. Men who are rational, however, won’t kick or struggle or raise a distressing fuss, but will just sit back, relax, enjoy the show and ride the waves to their demise.

Solamente las mujeres que confían plenamente en sí mismas, las arrogantes, las extrovertidas, las orgullosas, las poseedoras de mentes rigurosas, son capaces de mantener una conversación intensa, audaz, ingeniosa.

. 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.

Visuomenei, jei ją sudarytų pilnavertės, mąstančios būtybės, gerai suprantančios viena kitą ir nekonkuruojančios taip beprasmiškai, nereikėtų nei vyriausybės, nei įstatymų, nei vadovų.

Bir erkeğe hayvan demek ona iltifat etmektir; o bir makine, yürüyen bir vibratördür.

Erkekleri bertaraf edin, kadınlar şekle girecektir. Kadınlar düzeltilebilir; erkeklerse düzeltilemez, ancak davranışları düzeltilebilir. SCUM kıçlarından dürtünce hale yola girerler.

valerie, warhol'un kıçınıza girsin'le ilgileneceğini düşünmüş. warhol ilgilenmiş de. daha sonra gazeteci gretchen berg'e bu konuda şöyle söylemiş; "oyunun adının harika olduğunu düşündüm ve zaten arkadaş canlısı olduğum için davet ettim onu. ama o kadar edepsiz bir dille yazılmıştı ki acaba kadın, polis olabilir mi diye düşündüm. Böyle bir şeyin warhol'a uyacağını düşünmüş olmalı.

ALVIN (controlled indignation): Why, you... you dirty... (Gradually acquiring control.) I usually restrain myself from brutal frankness, but you've asked for this; now you're gonna get it - (With slow, deliberate, emphatic articulation he devastates her with the ultimate insult). You - are not - the least - bit --- SEXY.

RUSSEL. I may very well find her satisfactory - if she's on my level, of course. I've always wanted to meet a girl on my level. Let's see how sharp you are: define "supererogatory". BONGI. Superfluous; unnecessary. RUSSEL. Probably luck. What does "comminution" mean? BONGI. I don't know. What? RUSSEL. It means pulverization; reduction to fine powder. Define "umbilicate". BONGI. I give. RUSSEL. That was an easy one. What's the word sounds like? Obviously, it means having an umbilicus. I'll give you one more chance. Define "wimple". BONGI. I haven't the vaguest. RUSSEL. It is... (He hesitates, surreptitiously pulls a two by five card from his pocket, glances hastily at it and puts it back). ...it means ripple. Well, don't feel to badly; you got the first one right; besides, you're not too bad looking, or, at least, you wouldn't be if you'd put a skirt on and look like a woman.

RUSSEL. I want a strong, virile environment. BONGI. Why don't you hang out at the YMCA gym?

Absorbing “culture” is a desperate, frantic attempt to groove in an ungroovy world, to escape the horror of a sterile, mindless, existence.

Kültürü" özümsemek, haz vermeyen bir dünyada çaresizce ve korku içinde haz almaya çalışmaktır, steril, akılsız bir varoluşun dehşetinden kaçmaya çalışmak. "Kültür", kifayetsizlerin egosuna bir parmak bal, edilgen seyirlerini makulleştirecek bir araç sağlar, "ince" işleri takdir edebildikleri için gururlanırlar, gübreye bakıp mücevher sandıkları için (beğendikleri için beğenilmek isterler). Herhangi bir şeyi değiştirmeye güçlerinin yeteceğine inançları olmadığı için statükoya yaslanırlar. Gübrede güzellik görmek zorundadırlar çünkü görebildikleri kadarıyla, ellerine gübreden fazlası geçmeyecektir.

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.

Passive, rattle-headed Daddy’s Girl, ever eager for approval, for a pat on the head, for the “respect” of any passing piece of garbage, is easily reduced to Mama, mindless ministrator to physical needs, soother of the weary, apey brow, booster of the puny ego, appreciator of the contemptible, a hot water bottle with tits.

Baiser permet aux hommes de se protéger contre leur désir d'être des femmes.
