User:Vrvarela/Manifesto of Futurism

Marinetti shared that part of the Futurist philosophy was having a scorn for women, as stated in number nine of the eleven pages of the Futurist Manifesto. Ironically, there were many Futurist women despite Marinetti writing in his ninth and tenth points speaking against feminism and sharing his contempt for women. His words against luxurious and weak women contrasted the presence of women in the Futurist movement. There were Futurist Manifestos for Women made by women inspired by Marinetti's first Manifesto, despite his Futurist and later Fascist beliefs of women’s role in society.
