What is it about Valerie Solanas that feminists love so much? I don't understand it. She nearly killed a Andy Warhol.

I'm sensing bias in the question.

What is it about Valerie Solanas that feminists love so much?

I wasn't aware that "feminists" as a general rule love Solanas "so much" - or at all. Or maybe I missed the memo containing the dictate that to be a feminist nowadays, one must love Solanas - and "so much" too.

If you were specific about which "feminists" you mean and asked them directly, you'd probably have a better chance at getting your question answered. If someone on this sub made a post expressing love for Solanas, linking to it would help so that poster can respond and others can see what she said previously.

As a general rule, I'm leery of the tactic of assuming and asserting that the beliefs/feelings - or in this case, the supposed beliefs/feelings - of some/a few within a large, diverse group are representative of what everyone in the entire group thinks and feels, and then calling on/out the entire group to explain and justify those beliefs and feelings. This used to be called "stereotyping" and was a no-no. But now it seems to be quite the fashion.

Something tells me you're asking this is bad faith. Good on you for seeing yourself out.

What's wrong with being 90? The average lifespan for female people in many countries today is nearly 90. That a problem for you?

Clint Eastwood, Warren Buffet, George Soros, Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Robert Wagner, Thomas Sowell, Stephen Sondheim are all 90. You think they have no right to be on the internet? Or is it only women who are or might be 90 that you take issue with?

Never ceases to amaze me how ageist most gender ideologues and pro-trans people seem to be today. And how comfortable they are showing that this particular prejudice is something they enthusiastically embrace without a trace of shame or misgivings.

Who even knows the people you're talking about these days?

Guess history, even recent pop history, ain't your strong suit, LOL. Too bad, coz if you cracked some history books, you'd find history could teach you a thing or two.

BTW, if Andy Warhol were still alive today, he'd be 92. But hey, it's not like he matters coz like all the other 90-year-olds I mentioned, Warhol didn't do much with his life and certainly didn't make much of an impact on the world, now did he? /s/s/s/s/s/s/
