  • Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol, but she was also the author of The SCUM manifesto, a radical feminist doctrine, or was it a brilliant satire?

    In every photo you can see the hate in her eyes. Im surprised she managed to make friends and worm her way in with people, but maybe they thought she was just unique. 😃

    You can see the evil in this woman’s eyes, and the anger written all over her face. I don’t know what tragedies she suffered as a child or young girl, but something clearly scarred her to the point of no return.

    • @RetroRoomYT

      I feel like we tend to make so many excuses for women who are evil lunatics. But no one would ever say “poor Ted Bundy had a rough childhood!” If a woman kills her kids or husband we say “oh that poor girl she finally had enough and snapped” but we never do that for males. Valerie was a trash human of them typical radical butch lesbian feminist type.

      She was abused by her father and grandfather so her hatred of men is understandable.

    • @hineraable
      @hineraable Рік тому +14

      Her father was sexually abusive, and her grandad beat her up constantly.
      She had animosity towards Andy 'couse he lost a script that she wrote (tho i think that she believe he had stolen it) and didn't wanted to pay her back for it. She also didn't like the way that he portray women on his work. They also had a disagreement or something during the production of a movie they work together with.
      Plus she had schizophrenia.
      So, personally, i don't think she was completely evil, maybe with proper treatment this wouldn't have happened.

    Thanks for this, and I was aware but hadn't heard that much about the woman herself. I think the whole situation is the very definition of irony, and thanks for taking away the sensationalism, but is there anything more about her meeting Sedgwick? Glad you are back and tell us more stories!!!!

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.

    She set Andy's ass on fire 🔥 and disrupted the whole scene demanding her 🥧 piece of the pie 🌟
    What guts ,
    What balls, oops tits ,
    The odacity the nerve ,
    Andy ghosted alot of people
    And his entourage where awful to outsiders ,
    I'm surprised she didn't have a machine gun ,
