We start on one of the more radical characters in the history of feminism, with Valerie Solanas. The SCUM Manifesto, SCUM standing for Society for Cutting Up Men, divided the feminist movement as not everyone shared Solanas view of a utopia which was free from the male.

The manifesto is not however, just random collections of anti-male propaganda as some might think and can be seen as an ironic reaction to misogynist literature. Whatever you think of it, it certainly isn't boring.
