 However , writer Breanne Fahs describes Solanas as a contradiction which " alienates her from the feminist movement . " Fahs argues that Solanas never wanted to be " in movement " but she nevertheless fractured the feminist movement by provoking N.O.W. members to disagree about her case . Many contradictions are seen in her lifestyle ( a lesbian who sexually serviced men , claim of being asexual , confusion ) , a rejection of queer culture , and a non @-@ interest in working with others despite a co @-@ dependency on others . Fahs also brings into question the contradictory stories of Solanas 's life . Solanas 's life is described as one of a victim , a rebel , a desperate loner , yet Solanas 's cousin says she worked as a waitress in her late 20s and 30s , not primarily as a prostitute , and friend Geoffrey LaGear said she had a " groovy childhood . " Solanas also kept in touch with her father throughout her life , which makes one question and complicate the notion that Solanas hated her father and acted out this hatred in the shooting / manifesto . Fahs believes that Solanas embraced these contradictions as a key part of her identity .
