You can find a copy for free online somewhere. If a person is determined to interpret it as satire, then no force on earth can possibly change their mind. The book does look like an outpouring of delusional ravings from where I sit, rather unambiguously so. Organizationally, it is hard to follow. But that's just me. One thing I was puzzled by is, after the male half of the human race is gone, their labor will need to be replaced by 'automation,' a technological marvel that will miraculously take care of pretty much everything and still isn't technologically possible as of 2016. Even so, who will build, power and maintain this magic 'automation'?

Presumably, the 'automation' will lubricate and repair itself, periodically disposing of its inevitable broken components and waste products, seeing as how a planet full of fat, happy women enjoying lesbian sex on huge piles of satin pillows arranged around giant public chocolate fondue fountains and babbling waterfalls of crisp, cold Chardonnay probably can't be persuaded to go do it. Especially seeing as how money will be abolished and women will presumably need to resort to bartering stuff in the absence of a common medium of exchange; I say that with confidence because every attempt in history to abolish people's ability to buy and sell stuff has instead resulted in the emergence of an illicit black market of buying and selling. But, hey, I'm just man-thinking here with my laughable, sputtering, non-groovy little man-brain so of course I can't be expected to 'get it.' It does sound like a big theme of the book is: technology can replace men, since men's only real contribution is sperm and physical strength. Given that it was written in the late 60s, I find it hard to read that worldview as satire, considering that there wasn't anything comparable to a 'technology will replace women' theme, in the same way that automation was replacing male jobs, but not the role of women, except perhaps in the automation of the home.

If it's satire, it sounds like really poorly-done satire that isn't really satire on a conscious level. But, again, I haven't read it. It does sound like a big theme of the book is: technology can replace men That was a big theme in those times. Shulamith Firestone, who was contemporary with Solanas, for example, thought that childbirth was the tool through which women were oppressed and was keen on the idea of developing artificial wombs that could free women from their biology: Firestone wrote in The Dialectic of Sex: 'The 'natural' is not necessarily a 'human' value. Humanity has begun to transcend nature: we can no longer justify the maintenance of a discriminatory sex class system on grounds of its origins in nature.

Indeed, for pragmatic reasons alone it is beginning to look as if we must get rid of it.' From Julie Bindel's. Is it clearly not satire but instead the serious delusions of a lunatic? I think you may be overlooking the fact that so many leading feminists - often by their own admission - have (or have had) serious mental health issues. They often seem to see it as proof that the system we live in is so inimical to women that it literally drives them insane. The other possibility - that they might actually just be insane - seems not to trouble their fevered brows. Sylvia Plath was and still is read for the quality of her writing.

She was well regarded before getting the customary career boost from suicide. I read The Bell Jar after leaving school. I've not been badly depressed or a married woman so it was a window into an unfamiliar world. It helped me understand my mother's generation. And depression, when I came across it. Her and Janet Frame's work provided some ideas to understand it.

Her confessional style was seen as self-indulgent by some but to others she is valued for articulating things that didn't get expressed much at the time. I don't read much poetry at all but bought Ariel and it survived many bookshelf weedings. I haven't read it, but I find it extremely hypocritical to defend it as 'satire', when the same people who defend it have the biggest stick up their ass when the joke is on their expenses. In a perfect world women would make fun of men, men would make fun of women, straights would make fun of gays, gays would make fun of straights, whites would make fun of blacks and vice versa and so on and so forth. However, that's not the world we live in.

We live in a world where the straight, white, able-bodied cis-male is pure evil and oppresses everyone else, according to them anyway (I haven't heard of right-handed people being bashed yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if that comes next). So seeing how feminists tend to tone-police everyone else but refuse to be tone-policed themselves and cry sexism and misogyny if people use their own arguments against them, I'm inclined to believe it's an actual delusional rant. And even if it's not, seeing the sociopolitical PC-culture of today it should definitely be treated as 'problematic', not celebrated. But feminism and cognitive dissonance go hand in hand, so it doesn't exactly surprise me that gender studies professors praise it.
