There's a quote all over the net, always claimed to be by Bukowski, but they NEVER give a source. Also, I always have only seen it in German language, never an English original. So, there's kind of reasonable doubt, that this quote is authentic.
I'm now trying to verify that quote. ALL HELP APPRECIATED !!!
The German version goes:
"Feminismus existiert nur um hässliche Frauen in die Gesellschaft zu integrieren."
The original would sound something like:
"Feminism / Women's lib[eration] only exists to integrate ugly women into society."
Since there's never a source given, it could be everything, from poem to prose to interview to letter. And of course, I have no clue, how literal the German translation is. If it's a Bukowski-quote at all, that is.
