Women unite!!!

“S.C.U.M. Manifesto

(Society for Cutting Up Men)

by Valerie Solanas

Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women,
there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government,
eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.

It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to
produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. Retaining the mail has not even the dubious
purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X
(female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete
female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited;
maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.

The male is completely egocentric, trapped inside himself, incapable of empathizing or identifying with
others, or love, friendship, affection of tenderness. He is a completely isolated unit, incapable of rapport
with anyone. His responses are entirely visceral, not cerebral; his intelligence is a mere tool in the
services of his drives and needs; he is incapable of mental passion, mental interaction; he can't relate to
anything other than his own physical sensations. He is a half-dead, unresponsive lump, incapable of
giving or receiving pleasure or happiness; consequently, he is at best an utter bore, an inoffensive blob,
since only those capable of absorption in others can be charming. He is trapped in a twilight zone
halfway between humans and apes, and is far worse off than the apes because, unlike the apes, he is
capable of a large array of negative feelings -- hate, jealousy, contempt, disgust, guilt, shame, doubt --
and moreover, he is aware of what he is and what he isn't.

Although completely physical, the male is unfit even for stud service. Even assuming mechanical
proficiency, which few men have, he is, first of all, incapable of zestfully, lustfully, tearing off a piece,
but instead is eaten up with guilt, shame, fear and insecurity, feelings rooted in male nature, which the
most enlightened training can only minimize; second, the physical feeling he attains is next to nothing; and
third, he is not empathizing with his partner, but is obsessed with how he's doing, turning in an A
performance, doing a good plumbing job. To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a
walking dildo. It's often said that men use women. Use them for what? Surely not pleasure.

Eaten up with guilt, shame, fears and insecurities and obtaining, if he's lucky, a barely perceptible
physical feeling, the male is, nonetheless, obsessed with screwing; he'll swim through a river of snot,
wade nostril-deep through a mile of vomit, if he thinks there'll be a friendly #&%!$ awaiting him. He'll
screw a woman he despises, any snaggle-toothed hag, and furthermore, pay for the opportunity. Why?
Relieving physical tension isn't the answer, as masturbation suffices for that. It's not ego satisfaction; that
doesn't explain screwing corpses and babies.

Completely egocentric, unable to relate, empathize or identify, and filled with a vast, pervasive, diffuse
sexuality, the male is pyschically passive. He hates his passivity, so he projects it onto women, defines
the make as active, then sets out to prove that he is (`prove that he is a Man'). His main means of
attempting to prove it is screwing (Big Man with a Big Dick tearing off a Big Piece). Since he's
attempting to prove an error, he must `prove' it again and again. Screwing, then, is a desperate
compulsive, attempt to prove he's not passive, not a woman; but he is passive and does want to be a
woman.

Being an incomplete female, the male spends his life attempting to complete himself, to become female.
He attempts to do this by constantly seeking out, fraternizing with and trying to live through an fuse with
the female, and by claiming as his own all female characteristics -- emotional strength and independence,
forcefulness, dynamism, decisiveness, coolness, objectivity, assertiveness, courage, integrity, vitality,
intensity, depth of character, grooviness, etc -- and projecting onto women all male traits -- vanity,
frivolity, triviality, weakness, etc. It should be said, though, that the male has one glaring area of
superiority over the female -- public relations. (He has done a brilliant job of convincing millions of
women that men are women and women are men). The male claim that females find fulfillment through
motherhood and sexuality reflects what males think they'd find fulfilling if they were female.

Women, in other words, don't have #&%!$ envy; men have #&%!$ envy. When the male accepts his
passivity, defines himself as a woman (males as well as females thing men are women and women are
men), and becomes a transvestite he loses his desire to screw (or to do anything else, for that matter; he
fulfills himself as a drag queen) and gets his dick chopped off. He then achieves a continuous diffuse
sexual feeling from `being a woman'. Screwing is, for a man, a defense against his desire to be female.
He is responsible for:

War: The male's normal compensation for not being female, namely, getting his Big Gun off, is grossly
inadequate, as he can get it off only a very limited number of times; so he gets it off on a really massive
scale, and proves to the entire world that he's a `Man'. Since he has no compassion or ability to
empathize or identify, proving his manhood is worth an endless amount of mutilation and suffering and an
endless number of lives, including his own -- his own life being worthless, he would rather go out in a
blaze of glory than to plod grimly on for fifty more years.

Niceness, Politeness, and `Dignity': Every man, deep down, knows he's a worthless piece of #&%!$.
Overwhelmed by a sense of animalism and deeply ashamed of it; wanting, not to express himself, but to
hide from others his total physicality, total egocentricity, the hate and contempt he feels for other men,
and to hide from himself the hate and contempt he suspects other men feel for him; having a crudely
constructed nervous system that is easily upset by the least display of emotion or feeling, the male tries to
enforce a `social' code that ensures perfect blandness, unsullied by the slightest trace or feeling or
upsetting opinion. He uses terms like `copulate', `sexual congress', `have relations with' (to men sexual
relations is a redundancy), overlaid with stilted manners; the suit on the chimp.

Money, Marriage and Prostitution, Work and Prevention of an Automated Society: There is no
human reason for money or for anyone to work more than two or three hours a week at the very most. All
non-creative jobs (practically all jobs now being done) could have been automated long ago, and in a
moneyless society everyone can have as much of the best of everything as she wants. But there are
non-human, male reasons for wanting to maintain the money system:

1. #&%!$. Despising his highly inadequate self, overcome with intense anxiety and a deep, profound
loneliness when by his empty self, desperate to attach himself to any female in dim hopes of completing
himself, in the mystical belief that by touching gold he'll turn to gold, the male craves the continuous
companionship of women. The company of the lowest female is preferable to his own or that of other
men, who serve only to remind him of his repulsiveness. But females, unless very young or very sick,
must be coerced or bribed into male company.

2. Supply the non-relating male with the delusion of usefulness, and enable him to try to justify his
existence by digging holes and then filling them up. Leisure time horrifies the male, who will have
nothing to do but contemplate his grotesque self. Unable to relate or to love, the male must work.
Females crave absorbing, emotionally satisfying, meaningful activity, but lacking the opportunity or
ability for this, they prefer to idle and waste away their time in ways of their own choosing -- sleeping,
shopping, bowling, shooting pool, playing cards and other games, breeding, reading, walking around,
daydreaming, eating, playing with themselves, popping pills, going to the movies, getting analyzed,
traveling, raising dogs and cats, lolling about on the beach, swimming, watching TV, listening to music,
decorating their houses, gardening, sewing, nightclubbing, dancing, visiting, `improving their minds'
(taking courses), and absorbing `culture' (lectures, plays, concerts, `arty' movies). Therefore, many
females would, even assuming complete economic equality between the sexes, prefer living with males
or peddling their asses on the street, thus having most of their time for themselves, to spending many
hours of their days doing boring, stultifying, non-creative work for someone else, functioning as less than
animals, as machines, or, at best -- if able to get a `good' job -- co-managing the #&%!$pile. What will
liberate women, therefore, from male control is the total elimination of the money-work system, not the
attainment of economic equality with men within it.

3. Power and control. Unmasterful in his personal relations with women, the male attains to
masterfulness by the manipulation of money and everything controlled by money, in other words, of
everything and everybody.

4. Love substitute. Unable to give love or affection, the male gives money. It makes him feel motherly.
The mother gives milk; he gives bread. He is the Breadwinner.

5. Provide the male with a goal. Incapable of enjoying the moment, the male needs something to look
forward to, and money provides him with an eternal, never-ending goal: Just think of what you could do
with 80 trillion dollars -- invest it! And in three years time you'd have 300 trillion dollars!!!

6. Provide the basis for the male's major opportunity to control and manipulate -- fatherhood.

Fatherhood and Mental Illness (fear, cowardice, timidity, humility, insecurity, passivity): Mother
wants what's best for her kids; Daddy only wants what's best for Daddy, that is peace and quiet,
pandering to his delusion of dignity (`respect'), a good reflection on himself (status) and the opportunity
to control and manipulate, or, if he's an `enlightened' father, to `give guidance'. His daughter, in addition,
he wants sexually -- he givers her hand in marriage; the other part is for him. Daddy, unlike Mother, can
never give in to his kids, as he must, at all costs, preserve his delusion of decisiveness, forcefulness,
always-rightness and strength. Never getting one's way leads to lack of self-confidence in one's ability to
cope with the world and to a passive acceptance of the status quo. Mother loves her kids, although she
sometimes gets angry, but anger blows over quickly and even while it exists, doesn't preclude love and
basic acceptance. Emotionally diseased Daddy doesn't love his kids; he approves of them -- if they're
`good', that is, if they're nice, `respectful', obedient, subservient to his will, quiet and not given to
unseemly displays of temper that would be most upsetting to Daddy's easily disturbed male nervous
system -- in other words, if they're passive vegetables. If they're not `good', he doesn't get angry -- not if
he's a modern, `civilized' father (the old-fashioned ranting, raving brute is preferable, as he is so
ridiculous he can be easily despised) -- but rather express disapproval, a state that, unlike anger, endures
and precludes a basic acceptance, leaving the kid with the feeling of worthlessness and a lifelong
obsession wit being approved of; the result is fear of independent thought, as this leads to
unconventional, disapproved of opinions and way of life.

For the kid to want Daddy's approval it must respect Daddy, and being garbage, Daddy can make sure
that he is respected only by remaining aloof, by distantness, by acting on the precept of `familiarity
breeds contempt', which is, of course, true, if one is contemptible. By being distant and aloof, he is able
to remain unknown, mysterious, and thereby, to inspire fear (`respect').

Disapproval of emotional `scenes' leads to fear of strong emotion, fear of one's own anger and hatred.
Fear of anger and hatred combined with a lack of self-confidence in one's ability to cope with and
change the world, or even to affect in the slightest way one's own destiny, leads to a mindless belief that
the world and most people in it are nice and the most banal, trivial amusements are great fun and deeply
pleasurable.

The affect of fatherhood on males, specifically, is to make them `Men', that is, highly defensive of all
impulses to passivity, faggotry, and of desires to be female. Every boy wants to imitate his mother, be
her, fuse with her, but Daddy forbids this; he is the mother; he gets to fuse with her. So he tells the boy,
sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, to not be a sissy, to act like a `Man'. The boy, scared #&%!$less
of and `respecting' his father, complies, and becomes just like Daddy, that model of `Man'-hood, the
all-American ideal -- the well-behaved heterosexual dullard.

The effect of fatherhood on females is to make them male -- dependent, passive, domestic, animalistic,
insecure, approval and security seekers, cowardly, humble, `respectful' of authorities and men, closed,
not fully responsive, half-dead, trivial, dull, conventional, flattened-out and thoroughly contemptible.
Daddy's Girl, always tense and fearful, uncool, unanalytical, lacking objectivity, appraises Daddy, and
thereafter, other men, against a background of fear (`respect') and is not only unable to see the empty
shell behind the facade, but accepts the male definition of himself as superior, as a female, and of
herself, as inferior, as a male, which, thanks to Daddy, she really is.

It is the increase of fatherhood, resulting from the increased and more widespread affluence that
fatherhood needs in order to thrive, that has caused the general increase of mindlessness and the decline
of women in the United States since the 1920s. The close association of affluence with fatherhood has
led, for the most part, to only the wrong girls, namely, the `privileged' middle class girls, getting
`educated'.

The effect of fathers, in sum, has been to corrode the world with maleness. The male has a negative
Midas Touch -- everything he touches turns to #&%!$.

Suppression of Individuality, Animalism (domesticity and motherhood), and Functionalism: The male
is just a bunch of conditioned reflexes, incapable of a mentally free response; he is tied to he earliest
conditioning, determined completely by his past experiences. His earliest experiences are with his
mother, and he is throughout his life tied to her. It never becomes completely clear to the make that he is
not part of his mother, that he is he and she is she.

His greatest need is to be guided, sheltered, protected and admired by Mama (men expect women to
adore what men shrink from in horror -- themselves) and, being completely physical, he yearns to spend
his time (that's not spent `out in the world' grimly defending against his passivity) wallowing in basic
animal activities -- eating, sleeping, #&%!$ting, relaxing and being soothed by Mama. Passive,
rattle-headed Daddy's Girl, ever eager for approval, for a pat on the head, for the `respect' if any passing
piece of garbage, is easily reduced to Mama, mindless ministrator to physical needs, soother of the
weary, apey brow, booster of the tiny ego, appreciator of the contemptible, a hot water bottle with tits.

The reduction to animals of the women of the most backward segment of society -- the `privileged,
educated' middle-class, the backwash of humanity -- where Daddy reigns supreme, has been so thorough
that they try to groove on labour pains and lie around in the most advanced nation in the world in the
middle of the twentieth century with babies chomping away on their tits. It's not for the kids sake, though,
that the `experts' tell women that Mama should stay home and grovel in animalism, but for Daddy's; the
tits for Daddy to hang onto; the labor pains for Daddy to vicariously groove on (half dead, he needs
awfully strong stimuli to make him respond).

Reducing the female to an animal, to Mama, to a male, is necessary for psychological as well as
practical reasons: the male is a mere member of the species, interchangeable with every other male. He
has no deep-seated individuality, which stems from what intrigues you, what outside yourself absorbs
you, what you're in relation to. Completely self-absorbed, capable of being in relation only to their
bodies and physical sensations, males differ from each other only to the degree and in the ways they
attempt to defend against their passivity and against their desire to be female.

The female's individuality, which he is acutely aware of, but which he doesn't comprehend and isn't
capable of relating to or grasping emotionally, frightens and upsets him and fills him with envy. So he
denies it in her and proceeds to define everyone in terms of his or her function or use, assigning to
himself, of course, the most important functions -- doctor, president, scientist -- therefore providing
himself with an identity, if not individuality, and tries to convince himself and women (he's succeeded
best at convincing women) that the female function is to bear and raise children and to relax, comfort and
boost the ego if the male; that her function is such as to make her interchangeable with every other
female. In actual fact, the female function is to relate, groove, love and be herself, irreplaceable by
anyone else; the male function is to produce sperm. We now have sperm banks.

In actual fact, the female function is to explore, discover, invent, solve problems crack jokes, make
music -- all with love. In other words, create a magic world.

Prevention of Privacy: Although the male, being ashamed of what he is and almost of everything he
does, insists on privacy and secrecy in all aspects of his life, he has no real regard for privacy. Being
empty, not being a complete, separate being, having no self to groove on and needing to be constantly in
female company, he sees nothing at all wrong in intruding himself on any woman's thoughts, even a total
stranger's, anywhere at any time, but rather feels indignant and insulted when put down for doing so, as
well as confused -- he can't, for the life of him, understand why anyone would prefer so much as one
minute of solitude to the company of any creep around. Wanting to become a woman, he strives to be
constantly around females, which is the closest he can get to becoming one, so he created a `society'
based upon the family -- a male-female could and their kids (the excuse for the family's existence), who
live virtually on top of one another, unscrupuluously violating the females' rights, privacy and sanity.

Isolation, Suburbs, and Prevention of Community: Our society is not a community, but merely a
collection of isolated family units. Desperately insecure, fearing his woman will leave him if she is
exposed to other men or to anything remotely resembling life, the male seeks to isolate her from other
men and from what little civilization there is, so he moves her out to the suburbs, a collection of
self-absorbed couples and their kids. Isolation enables him to try to maintain his pretense of being an
individual nu becoming a `rugged individualist', a loner, equating non-cooperation and solitariness with
individuality.

There is yet another reason for the male to isolate himself: every man is an island. Trapped inside
himself, emotionally isolated, unable to relate, the male has a horror of civilization, people, cities,
situations requiring an ability to understand and relate to people. So like a scared rabbit, he scurries off,
dragging Daddy's little #&%!$ with him to the wilderness, suburbs, or, in the case of the hippy -- he's
way out, Man! -- all the way out to the cow pasture where he can #&%!$ and breed undisturbed and mess
around with his beads and flute.

The `hippy', whose desire to be a `Man', a `rugged individualist', isn't quite as strong as the average
man's, and who, in addition, is excited by the thought having lots of women accessible to him, rebels
against the harshness of a Breadwinner's life and the monotony of one woman. In the name of sharing and
cooperation, he forms a commune or tribe, which, for all its togetherness and partly because of it, (the
commune, being an extended family, is an extended violation of the female's rights, privacy and sanity) is
no more a community than normal `society'.

A true community consists of individuals -- not mere species members, not couples -- respecting each
others individuality and privacy, at the same time interacting with each other mentally and emotionally --
free spirits in free relation to each other -- and co-operating with each other to achieve common ends.
Traditionalists say the basic unit of `society' is the family; `hippies' say the tribe; no one says the
individual.

The `hippy' babbles on about individuality, but has no more conception of it than any other man. He
desires to get back to Nature, back to the wilderness, back to the home of furry animals that he's one of,
away from the city, where there is at least a trace, a bare beginning of civilization, to live at the species
level, his time taken up with simple, non-intellectual activities -- farming, #&%!$ing, bead stringing. The
most important activity of the commune, the one upon which it is based, is gang-banging. The `hippy' is
enticed to the commune mainly by the prospect for free #&%!$ -- the main commodity to be shared, to be
had just for the asking, but, blinded by greed, he fails to anticipate all the other men he has to share with,
or the jealousies and possessiveness for the pussies themselves.

Men cannot co-operate to achieve a common end, because each man's end is all the #&%!$ for himself.
The commune, therefore, is doomed to failure; each `hippy' will, in panic, grad the first simpleton who
digs him and whisks her off to the suburbs as fast as he can. The male cannot progress socially, but
merely swings back and forth from isolation to gang-banging.

Conformity: Although he wants to be an individual, the male is scared of anything in himself that is the
slightest bit different from other men, it causes him to suspect that he's not really a `Man', that he's
passive and totally sexual, a highly upsetting suspicion. If other men are "A" and he's not, he must not be
a man; he must be a fag. So he tries to affirm his `Manhood' by being like all the other men. Differentness
in other men, as well as himself, threatens him; it means they're fags whom he must at all costs avoid, so
he tries to make sure that all other men conform.

The male dares to be different to the degree that he accepts his passivity and his desire to be female, his
fagginess. The farthest out male is the drag queen, but he, although different from most men, is exactly
like all the other drag queens like the functionalist, he has an identity -- he is female. He tries to define
all his troubles away -- but still no individuality. Not completely convinced that he's a woman, highly
insecure about being sufficiently female, he conforms compulsively to the man-made stereotype, ending
up as nothing but a bundle of stilted mannerisms.

To be sure he's a `Man', the male must see to it that the female be clearly a `Woman', the opposite of a
`Man', that is, the female must act like a faggot. And Daddy's Girl, all of whose female instincts were
wrenched out of her when little, easily and obligingly adapts herself to the role.

Authority and Government: Having no sense of right and wrong, no conscience, which can only stem
from having an ability to empathize with others... having no faith in his non-existent self, being
unnecessarily competitive, and by nature, unable to co-operate, the male feels a need for external
guidance and control. So he created authorities -- priests, experts, bosses, leaders, etc -- and
government. Wanting the female (Mama) to guide him, but unable to accept this fact (he is, after all, a
MAN), wanting to play Woman, to usurp her function as Guider and Protector, he sees to it that all
authorities are male.

There's no reason why a society consisting of rational beings capable of empathizing with each other,
complete and having no natural reason to compete, should have a government, laws or leaders.

Philosophy, Religion, and Morality Based on Sex: The male's inability to relate to anybody or anything
makes his life pointless and meaningless (the ultimate male insight is that life is absurd), so he invented
philosophy and religion. Being empty, he looks outward, not only for guidance and control, but for
salvation and for the meaning of life. Happiness being for him impossible on this earth, he invented
Heaven.

For a man, having no ability to empathize with others and being totally sexual, `wrong' is sexual `license'
and engaging in `deviant' (`unmanly') sexual practices, that is, not defending against his passivity and
total sexuality which, if indulged, would destroy `civilization', since `civilization' is based entirely upon
the male need to defend himself against these characteristics. For a woman (according to men), `wrong'
is any behavior that would entice men into sexual `license' -- that is, not placing male needs above her
own and not being a faggot.

Religion not only provides the male with a goal (Heaven) and helps keep women tied to men, but offers
rituals through which he can try to expiate the guilt and shame he feels at not defending himself enough
against his sexual impulses; in essence, that guilt and shame he feels at being male.

Most men men, utterly cowardly, project their inherent weaknesses onto women, label them female
weaknesses and believe themselves to have female strengths; most philosophers, not quite so cowardly,
face the fact that make lacks exist in men, but still can't face the fact that they exist in men only. So they
label the male condition the Human Condition, post their nothingness problem, which horrifies them, as a
philosophical dilemma, thereby giving stature to their animalism, grandiloquently label their nothingness
their `Identity Problem', and proceed to prattle on pompously about the `Crisis of the Individual', the
`Essence of Being', `Existence preceding Essence', `Existential Modes of Being', etc. etc.

A woman not only takes her identity and individuality for granted, but knows instinctively that the only
wrong is to hurt others, and that the meaning of life is love.

Prejudice (racial, ethnic, religious, etc): The male needs scapegoats onto whom he can project his
failings and inadequacies and upon whom he can vent his frustration at not being female. And the
vicarious discriminations have the practical advantage of substantially increasing the #&%!$ pool
available to the men on top.

Competition, Prestige, Status, Formal Education, Ignorance and Social and Economic Classes:
Having an obsessive desire to be admired by women, but no intrinsic worth, the make constructs a highly
artificial society enabling him to appropriate the appearance of worth through money, prestige, `high'
social class, degrees, professional position and knowledge and, by pushing as many other men as
possible down professionally, socially, economically, and educationally.

The purpose of `higher' education is not to educate but to exclude as many as possible from the various
professions.

The male, totally physical, incapable of mental rapport, although able to understand and use knowledge
and ideas, is unable to relate to them, to grasp them emotionally: he does not value knowledge and ideas
for their own sake (they're just means to ends) and, consequently, feels no need for mental companions,
no need to cultivate the intellectual potentialities of others. On the contrary, the male has a vested interest
in ignorance; it gives the few knowledgeable men a decided edge on the unknowledgeable ones, and
besides, the male knows that an enlightened, aware female population will mean the end of him. The
healthy, conceited female wants the company of equals whom she can respect and groove on; the male
and the sick, insecure, unself-confident male female crave the company of worms.

No genuine social revolution can be accomplished by the male, as the male on top wants the status quo,
and all the male on the bottom wants is to be the male on top. The male `rebel' is a farce; this is the
male's `society', made by him to satisfy his needs. He's never satisfied, because he's not capable of being
satisfied. Ultimately, what the male `rebel' is rebelling against is being male. The male changes only
when forced to do so by technology, when he has no choice, when `society' reaches the stage where he
must change or die. We're at that stage now; if women don't get their asses in gear fast, we may very well
all die.

Prevention of Conversation: Being completely self-centered and unable to relate to anything outside
himself, the male's `conversation', when not about himself, is an impersonal droning on, removed from
anything of human value. Male `intellectual conversation' is a strained compulsive attempt to impress the
female.

“This revolution is doomed from the start. In the time it would take a woman to read that manifesto she would have started another menstral cycle.”

“Exactly how do these women unite, and are there any pictures?”

“I wonder if we could get some pic's of them uniting their elbows behind their backs?”

“The only relevant piece of information here is the part about the man being an incomplete female due to the chromosomal make-up.

Somebody tell this worthless slut that if she is going to publish a manifesto, at least run it through a word processor first. Guess what #&%!$, they stopped using Royal typewriters a long time ago!

SCUM MANIFESTO (cuntinued)
...But SCUM is too impatient to wait for the de-brainwashing of millions of #&%!$s. Why should the
swinging females continue to plod dismally along with the dull male ones? Why should the fates of the
groovy and the creepy be intertwined? Why should the active and imaginative consult the passive and
dull on social policy? Why should the independent be confined to the sewer along with the dependent
who need Daddy to cling to? A small handful of SCUM can take over the country within a year by
systematically #&%!$ing up the system, selectively destroying property, and murder:

SCUM will become members of the unwork force, the #&%!$-up force; they will get jobs of various kinds
an unwork. For example, SCUM salesgirls will not charge for merchandise; SCUM telephone operators
will not charge for calls; SCUM office and factory workers, in addition to #&%!$ing up their work, will
secretly destroy equipment. SCUM will unwork at a job until fired, then get a new job to unwork at.

SCUM will forcibly relieve bus drivers, cab drivers and subway token sellers of their jobs and run
buses and cabs and dispense free tokens to the public.

SCUM will destroy all useless and harmful objects -- cars, store windows, `Great Art', etc.

Eventually SCUM will take over the airwaves -- radio and TV networks -- by forcibly relieving of their
jobs all radio and TV employees who would impede SCUM's entry into the broadcasting studios.

SCUM will couple-bust -- barge into mixed (male-female) couples, wherever they are, and bust them up.

SCUM will kill all men who are not in the Men's Auxiliary of SCUM. Men in the Men's Auxiliary are
those men who are working diligently to eliminate themselves, men who, regardless of their motives, do
good, men who are playing pall with SCUM. A few examples of the men in the Men's Auxiliary are: men
who kill men; biological scientists who are working on constructive programs, as opposed to biological
warfare; journalists, writers, editors, publishers and producers who disseminate and promote ideas that
will lead to the achievement of SCUM's goals; faggots who, by their shimmering, flaming example,
encourage other men to de-man themselves and thereby make themselves relatively inoffensive; men who
consistently give things away -- money, things, services; men who tell it like it is (so far not one ever
has), who put women straight, who reveal the truth about themselves, who give the mindless male
females correct sentences to parrot, who tell them a woman's primary goal in life should be to squash the
male sex (to aid men in this endeavor SCUM will conduct Turd Sessions, at which every male present
will give a speech beginning with the sentence: `I am a turd, a lowly abject turd', then proceed to list all
the ways in which he is. His reward for doing so will be the opportunity to fraternize after the session
for a whole, solid hour with the SCUM who will be present. Nice, clean-living male women will be
invited to the sessions to help clarify any doubts and misunderstandings they may have about the male
sex; makers and promoters of sex books and movies, etc., who are hastening the day when all that will be
shown on the screen will be Suck and #&%!$ (males, like the rats following the Pied Piper, will be lured
by #&%!$ to their doom, will be overcome and submerged by and will eventually drown in the passive
flesh that they are); drug pushers and advocates, who are hastening the dropping out of men.

Being in the Men's Auxiliary is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for making SCUM's escape list;
it's not enough to do good; to save their worthless asses men must also avoid evil. A few examples of the
most obnoxious or harmful types are: rapists, politicians and all who are in their service (campaigners,
members of political parties, etc); lousy singers and musicians; Chairmen of Boards; Breadwinners;
landlords; owners of greasy spoons and restaraunts that play Muzak; `Great Artists'; cheap pikers and
welchers; cops; tycoons; scientists working on death and destruction programs or for private industry
(practically all scientists); liars and phonies; disc jockies; men who intrude themselves in the slightest
way on any strange female; real estate men; stock brokers; men who speak when they have nothing to say;
men who sit idly on the street and mar the landscape with their presence; double dealers; flim-flam
artists; litterbugs; plagiarisers; men who in the slightest way harm any female; all men in the advertising
industry; psychiatrists and clinical psychologists; dishonest writers, journalists, editors, publishers, etc.;
censors on both the public and private levels; all members of the armed forces, including draftees (LBJ
and McNamara give orders, but servicemen carry them out) and particularly pilots (if the bomb drops,
LBJ won't drop it; a pilot will). In the case of a man whose behavior falls into both the good and bad
categories, an overall subjective evaluation of him will be made to determine if his behavior is, in the
balance, good or bad.

It is most tempting to pick off the female `Great Artists', liars and phonies etc along with the men, but that
would be inexpedient, as it would not be clear to most of the public that the female killed was a male.
All women have a fink streak in them, to a greater or lesser degree, but it stems from a lifetime of living
among men. Eliminate men and women will shape up. Women are improvable; men are no, although their
behavior is. When SCUM gets hot on their asses it'll shape up fast.

Simultaneously with the #&%!$ing-up, looting, couple-busting, destroying and killing, SCUM will recruit.
SCUM, then, will consist of recruiters; the elite corps -- the hard core activists (the #&%!$-ups, looters and
destroyers) and the elite of the elite -- the killers.

Dropping out is not the answer; #&%!$ing-up is. Most women are already dropped out; they were never in.
Dropping out gives control to those few who don't drop out; dropping out is exactly what the
establishment leaders want; it plays into the hands of the enemy; it strengthens the system instead of
undermining it, since it is based entirely on the non-participating, passivity, apathy and non-involvement
of the mass of women. Dropping out, however, is an excellent policy for men, and SCUM will
enthusiastically encourage it.

Looking inside yourself for salvation, contemplating your navel, is not, as the Drop Out people would
have you believe, the answer. Happiness likes outside yourself, is achieved through interacting with
others. Self-forgetfulness should be one's goal, not self-absorption. The male, capable of only the latter,
makes a virtue of irremediable fault and sets up self-absorption, not only as a good but as a
Philosophical Good, and thus gets credit for being deep.

SCUM will not picket, demonstrate, march or strike to attempt to achieve its ends. Such tactics are for
nice, genteel ladies who scrupulously take only such action as is guaranteed to be ineffective. In
addition, only decent, clean-living male women, highly trained in submerging themselves in the species,
act on a mob basis. SCUM consists of individuals; SCUM is not a mob, a blob. Only as many SCUM
will do a job as are needed for the job. Also SCUM, being cool and selfish, will not subject to getting
itself rapped on the head with billy clubs; that's for the nice, `privileged, educated', middle-class ladies
with a high regard for the touching faith in the essential goodness of Daddy and policemen. If SCUM
ever marches, it will be over the President's stupid, sickening face; if SCUM ever strikes, it will be in
the dark with a six-inch blade.

SCUM will always operate on a criminal as opposed to a civil disobedience basis, that is, as opposed to
openly violating the law and going to jail in order to draw attention to an injustice. Such tactics
acknowledge the rightness overall system and are used only to modify it slightly, change specific laws.
SCUM is against the entire system, the very idea of law and government. SCUM is out to destroy the
system, not attain certain rights within it. Also, SCUM -- always selfish, always cool -- will always aim
to avoid detection and punishment. SCUM will always be furtive, sneaky, underhanded (although SCUM
murders will always be known to be such).

Both destruction and killing will be selective and discriminate. SCUM is against half-crazed,
indiscriminate riots, with no clear objective in mind, and in which many of your own kind are picked off.
SCUM will never instigate, encourage or participate in riots of any kind or other form of indiscriminate
destruction. SCUM will coolly, furtively, stalk its prey and quietly move in for the kill. Destruction will
never me such as to block off routes needed for the transportation of food or other essential supplies,
contaminate or cut off the water supply, block streets and traffic to the extent that ambulances can't get
through or impede the functioning of hospitals.

SCUM will keep on destroying, looting, #&%!$ing-up and killing until the money-work system no longer
exists and automation is completely instituted or until enough women co-operate with SCUM to make
violence unnecessary to achieve these goals, that is, until enough women either unwork or quit work,
start looting, leave men and refuse to obey all laws inappropriate to a truly civilized society. Many
women will fall into line, but many others, who surrendered long ago to the enemy, who are so adapted
to animalism, to maleness, that they like restrictions and restraints, don't know what to do with freedom,
will continue to be toadies and doormats, just as peasants in rice paddies remain peasants in rice
paddies as one regime topples another. A few of the more volatile will whimper and sulk and throw
their toys and dishrags on the floor, but SCUM will continue to steamroller over them.

A completely automated society can be accomplished very simply and quickly once there is a public
demand for it. The blueprints for it are already in existence, and it's construction will take only a few
weeks with millions of people working on it. Even though off the money system, everyone will be most
happy to pitch in and get the automated society built; it will mark the beginning of a fantastic new era,
and there will be a celebration atmosphere accompanying the construction.

The elimination of money and the complete institution of automation are basic to all other SCUM
reforms; without these two the others can't take place; with them the others will take place very rapidly.
The government will automatically collapse. With complete automation it will be possible for every
woman to vote directly on every issue by means of an electronic voting machine in her house. Since the
government is occupied almost entirely with regulating economic affairs and legislating against purely
private matters, the elimination of money wand with it the elimination of males who wish to legislate
`morality' will mean there will be practically no issues to vote on.

After the elimination of money there will be no further need to kill men; they will be stripped of the only
power they have over psychologically independent females. They will be able to impose themselves
only on the doormats, who like to be imposed on. The rest of the women will be busy solving the few
remaining unsolved problems before planning their agenda for eternity and Utopia -- completely
revamping educational programs so that millions of women can be trained within a few months for high
level intellectual work that now requires years of training (this can be done very easily once out
educational goal is to educate and not perpetuate an academic and intellectual elite); solving the
problems of disease and old age and death and completely redesigning our cities and living quarters.
Many women will for a while continue to think they dig men, but as they become accustomed to female
society and as they become absorbed in their projects, they will eventually come to see the utter
uselessnes and banality of the male.

The few remaining men can exist out their puny days dropped out on drugs or strutting around in drag or
passively watching the high-powered female in action, fulfilling themselves as spectators, vicarious
livers*[FOOTNOTE: It will be electronically possible for him to tune into any specific female he wants
to and follow in detail her every movement. The females will kindly, obligingly consent to this, as it
won't hurt them in the slightest and it is a marvelously kind and humane way to treat their unfortunate,
handicapped fellow beings.] or breeding in the cow pasture with the toadies, or they can go off to the
nearest friendly suicide center where they will be quietly, quickly, and painlessly gassed to death.

Prior to the institution of automation, to the replacement of males by machines, the male should be of use
to the female, wait on her, cater to her slightest whim, obey her every command, be totally subservient to
her, exist in perfect obedience to her will, as opposed to the completely warped, degenerate situation we
have now of men, not only not only not existing at all, cluttering up the world with their ignominious
presence, but being pandered to and groveled before by the mass of females, millions of women piously
worshiping the Golden Calf, the dog leading the master on a leash, when in fact the male, short of being a
drag queen, is least miserable when his dogginess is recognized -- no unrealistic emotional demands are
made of him and the completely together female is calling the shots. Rational men want to be squashed,
stepped on, crushed and crunched, treated as the curs, the filth that they are, have their repulsiveness
confirmed.

The sick, irrational men, those who attempt to defend themselves against their disgustingness, when they
see SCUM barrelling down on them, will cling in terror to Big Mama with her Big Bouncy Boobies, but
Boobies won't protect them against SCUM; Big Mama will be clinging to Big Daddy, who will be in the
corner #&%!$ting in his forceful, dynamic pants. Men who are rational, however, won't kick or struggle or
raise a distressing fuss, but will just sit back, relax, enjoy the show and ride the waves to their demise.
