True, but still, when has "SCUM Manifesto" ever been called sexism or terrorism? Zalatix Jun 2012 #3

For someone who just found out about this - because it has no historical significance - RadiationTherapy Jun 2012 #6

The Manifesto has been HEAVILY criticized over the years obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #7

Uh sorry but I can't let that "Solanas called it a literary device" claim stand, because it's wrong. Zalatix Jun 2012 #11

hang on DonCoquixote Jun 2012 #23

Sorry, but I'm right obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #32

The fact that Solanas said she was dead serious contradicts you. Zalatix Jun 2012 #34

DUers have called it out in the past... Blue_Tires Jun 2012 #42

Well, the old testament is thousands of years old and has caused immeasurably more pain, RadiationTherapy Jun 2012 #5

Exactly obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #8

I'm not sure where I ever said Solanas caused as much pain as the Old Testament. Zalatix Jun 2012 #9

I can show you a bunch of people who claim differently right in the Wiki source I posted. Zalatix Jun 2012 #12

I think what you're doing is cheap and very ugly. cali Jun 2012 #13

Cheap and ugly? Just because what you said was demonstrably wrong? Zalatix Jun 2012 #17

Exactly Cali obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #33

Cali said "I don't know that anyone would claim differently" Zalatix Jun 2012 #36

You're right Concordia Jun 2012 #18

I know you are being baited DonCoquixote Jun 2012 #21

No, your so called criticque was that women get away with shit that men don't cali Jun 2012 #25

It's your irrational attempts to wring misogyny out of thin air are getting old. Zalatix Jun 2012 #27

Your harping on the widely repudiated actions and words of a lone nut cali Jun 2012 #28

LOL you can't back your irrational misogyny accusation so instead you associate me with wingnuts. Zalatix Jun 2012 #29

wrong again. cali Jun 2012 #30

Ooooh now you declare yourself to be right on the mark. Even with absolutely no evidence. Zalatix Jun 2012 #31

LOL. and you're not doing that? too funny. cali Jun 2012 #37

I'm not declaring victory. I'm just commenting on how lacking and meandering your argument is. Zalatix Jun 2012 #38

Au contraire, it may cost Robbedme the election. Zalatix Jun 2012 #22

you mean the way Rush Limbaugh has paid for his years of hate speech against women? nt magical thyme Jun 2012 #40

I have to laugh about how unreadierLizard Jun 2012 #16

you might note that this is in response to someone cali Jun 2012 #19
