Quote:Didn't that Valeria Feminazi chick murder a famous Brooklyn pop artist in his apartment? I think this Solanas had actually envision genocide on the opposite gender.
Yeah, she did, and she did. The pop artist was Andy Warhol (made into a movie called "I Shot Andy Warhol"), and the SCUM manifesto talks about how men ought to be exterminated (aside from the few who know their place and dedicate their lives to the servitude of women) and women left to rule the earth with the aid of automation. She was obviously insane, but her manifesto is entertaining to read for laughs.
Lazy: IMO, it's a human trait to always be striving for better living conditions and that the grass is always greener; unhappiness with your partner will most certainly exacerbate this. Perhaps it's slightly worse with women, as they're generally more emotional and prone to requirer higher maintenance than men, but both sexes suffer from it. Not all couples cheat on each other or are unhappy in general. Character is built as maturity grows, and I think that young people (let's say, under 30-35) are more prone to the erratic behavior that you're suggesting.
