Long live Valerie Solanas!!!


Jade

---------------------------
 The
SCUM Manifesto
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 male 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
pussy 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 penis envy; men have pussy envy. When the
male accepts his passivity, defines himself as a woman (males as well as
females think 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 shit. 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. Pussy. 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 shitpile. 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 shitless 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 shit.

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, shitting, 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 asshole 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 fuck 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, fucking, 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 pussy -- 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 pussy 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 pussy 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.

Daddy's Girl, passive, adaptable, respectful of and in awe of the male,
allows him to impose his hideously dull chatter on her. This is not too
difficult for her, as the tension and anxiety, the lack of cool, the
insecurity and self-doubt, the unsureness of her own feelings and
sensations that Daddy instilled in her make her perceptions superficial and
render her unable to see that the male's babble is babble; like the
aesthete `appreciating' the blob that's labeled `Great Art', she believes
she's grooving on what bores the shit out of her. Not only does she permit
his babble to dominate, she adapts her own `conversation' accordingly.

Trained from an early childhood in niceness, politeness and `dignity', in
pandering to the male need to disguise his animalism, she obligingly
reduces her own `conversation' to small talk, a bland, insipid avoidance of
any topic beyond the utterly trivial -- or is `educated', to `intellectual'
discussion, that is, impersonal discoursing on irrelevant distractions --
the Gross National Product, the Common Market, the influence of Rimbaud on
symbolist painting. So adept is she at pandering that it eventually becomes
second nature and she continues to pander to men even when in the company
of other females only.

Apart from pandering, her `conversation' is further limited by her
insecurity about expressing deviant, original opinions and the
self-absorption based on insecurity and that prevents her conversation from
being charming. Niceness, politeness, `dignity', insecurity and
self-absorption are hardly conducive to intensity and wit, qualities a
conversation must have to be worthy of the name. Such conversation is
hardly rampant, as only completely self-confident, arrogant, outgoing,
proud, tough-minded females are capable of intense, bitchy, witty
conversation.

Prevention of Friendship (Love): Men have contempt for themselves, for all
other men whom they contemplate more than casually and whom they do not
think are females, (for example `sympathetic' analysts and `Great Artists')
or agents of God and for all women who respect and pander to them: the
insecure, approval-seeking, pandering male-females have contempt for
themselves and for all women like them: the self-confident, swinging,
thrill-seeking female females have contempt for me and for the pandering
male females. In short, contempt is the order of the day.

Love is not dependency or sex, but friendship, and therefore, love can't
exist between two males, between a male and a female, or between two
females, one or both of whom is a mindless, insecure, pandering male; like
conversation, live can exist only between two secure, free-wheeling,
independent groovy female females, since friendship is based upon respect,
not contempt.

Even amongst groovy females deep friendships seldom occur in adulthood, as
almost all of them are either tied up with men in order to survive
economically, or bogged down in hacking their way through the jungle and in
trying to keep their heads about the amorphous mass. Love can't flourish in
a society based upon money and meaningless work: it requires complete
economic as well as personal freedom, leisure time and the opportunity to
engage in intensely absorbing, emotionally satisfying activities which,
when shared with those you respect, lead to deep friendship. Our `society'
provides practically no opportunity to engage in such activities.

Having stripped the world of conversation, friendship and love, the male
offers us these paltry substitutes:

`Great Art' and `Culture': The male `artist' attempts to solve his dilemma
of not being able to live, of not being female, by constructing a highly
artificial world in which the male is heroized, that is, displays female
traits, and the female is reduced to highly limited, insipid subordinate
roles, that is, to being male.

The male `artistic' aim being, not to communicate (having nothing inside
him he has nothing to say), but to disguise his animalism, he resorts to
symbolism and obscurity (`deep' stuff). The vast majority of people,
particularly the `educated' ones, lacking faith in their own judgment,
humble, respectful of authority (`Daddy knows best'), are easily conned
into believing that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility,
indirectness, ambiguity and boredom are marks of depth and brilliance.

`Great Art' proves that men are superior to women, that men are women,
being labeled `Great Art', almost all of which, as the anti-feminists are
fond of reminding us, was created by men. We know that `Great Art' is great
because male authorities have told us so, and we can't claim otherwise, as
only those with exquisite sensitivities far superior to ours can perceive
and appreciated the slop they appreciated.

Appreciating is the sole diversion of the `cultivated'; passive and
incompetent, lacking imagination and wit, they must try to make do with
that; unable to create their own diversions, to create a little world of
their own, to affect in the smallest way their environments, they must
accept what's given; unable to create or relate, they spectate. Absorbing
`culture' is a desperate, frantic attempt to groove in an ungroovy world,
to escape the horror of a sterile, mindless, existence. `Culture' provides
a sop to the egos of the incompetent, a means of rationalizing passive
spectating; they can pride themselves on their ability to appreciate the
`finer' things, to see a jewel where this is only a turd (they want to be
admired for admiring). Lacking faith in their ability to change anything,
resigned to the status quo, they have to see beauty in turds because, so
far as they can see, turds are all they'll ever have.

The veneration of `Art' and `Culture' -- besides leading many women into
boring, passive activity that distracts from more important and rewarding
activities, from cultivating active abilities, and leads to the constant
intrusion on our sensibilities of pompous dissertations on the deep beauty
of this and that turn. This allows the `artist' to be setup as one
possessing superior feelings, perceptions, insights and judgments, thereby
undermining the faith of insecure women in the value and validity of their
own feelings, perceptions, insights and judgments.

The male, having a very limited range of feelings, and consequently, very
limited perceptions, insights and judgments, needs the `artist' to guide
him, to tell him what life is all about. But the male `artist' being
totally sexual, unable to relate to anything beyond his own physical
sensations, having nothing to express beyond the insight that for the male
life is meaningless and absurd, cannot be an artist. How can he who is not
capable of life tell us what life is all about? A `male artist' is a
contradiction in terms. A degenerate can only produce degenerate `art'. The
true artist is every self-confident, healthy female, and in a female
society the only Art, the only Culture, will be conceited, kooky, funky,
females grooving on each other and on everything else in the universe.

Sexuality: Sex is not part of a relationship: on the contrary, it is a
solitary experience, non-creative, a gross waste of time. The female can
easily -- far more easily than she may think -- condition away her sex
drive, leaving her completely cool and cerebral and free to pursue truly
worthy relationships and activities; but the male, who seems to dig women
sexually and who seeks out constantly to arouse them, stimulates the highly
sexed female to frenzies of lust, throwing her into a sex bag from which
few women ever escape. The lecherous male excited the lustful female; he
has to -- when the female transcends her body, rises above animalism, the
male, whose ego consists of his cock, will disappear.

Sex is the refuge of the mindless. And the more mindless the woman, the
more deeply embedded in the male `culture', in short, the nicer she is, the
more sexual she is. The nicest women in our `society' are raving sex
maniacs. But, being just awfully, awfully nice, they don't, of course
descend to fucking -- that's uncouth -- rather they make love, commune by
means of their bodies and establish sensual rapport; the literary ones are
attuned to the throb of Eros and attain a clutch upon the Universe; the
religious have spiritual communion with the Divine Sensualism; the mystics
merge with the Erotic Principle and blend with the Cosmos, and the acid
heads contact their erotic cells.

On the other hand, those females least embedded in the male `Culture', the
least nice, those crass and simple souls who reduce fucking to fucking, who
are too childish for the grown-up world of suburbs, mortgages, mops and
baby shit, too selfish to raise kids and husbands, too uncivilized to give
a shit for anyones opinion of them, too arrogant to respect Daddy, the
`Greats' or the deep wisdom of the Ancients, who trust only their own
animal, gutter instincts, who equate Culture with chicks, whose sole
diversion is prowling for emotional thrills and excitement, who are given
to disgusting, nasty upsetting `scenes', hateful, violent bitches given to
slamming those who unduly irritate them in the teeth, who'd sink a shiv
into a man's chest or ram an icepick up his asshole as soon as look at him,
if they knew they could get away with it, in short, those who, by the
standards of our `culture' are SCUM... these females are cool and
relatively cerebral and skirting asexuality.

Unhampered by propriety, niceness, discretion, public opinion, `morals',
the respect of assholes, always funky, dirty, low-down SCUM gets around...
and around and around... they've seen the whole show -- every bit of it --
the fucking scene, the dyke scene -- they've covered the whole waterfront,
been under every dock and pier -- the peter pier, the pussy pier... you've
got to go through a lot of sex to get to anti-sex, and SCUM's been through
it all, and they're now ready for a new show; they want to crawl out from
other the dock, move, take off, sink out. But SCUM doesn't yet prevail;
SCUM's still in the gutter of our `society', which, if it's not deflected
from its present course and if the Bomb doesn't drop on it, will hump
itself to death.

Boredom: Life in a society made by and for creatures who, when they are not
grim and depressing are utter bores, van only be, when not grim and
depressing, an utter bore.

Secrecy, Censorship, Suppression of Knowledge and Ideas, and Exposes: Every
male's deep-seated, secret, most hideous fear is of being discovered to be
not a female, but a male, a subhuman animal. Although niceness, politeness
and `dignity' suffice to prevent his exposure on a personal level, in order
to prevent the general exposure of the male sex as a whole and to maintain
his unnatural dominant position position in `society', the male must resort
to:

1. Censorship. Responding reflexively to isolated works and phrases rather
than cereberally to overall meanings, the male attempts to prevent the
arousal and discovery of his animalism by censoring not only `pornography',
but any work containing `dirty' words, no matter in what context they are
used.

2. Suppression of all ideas and knowledge that might expose him or threaten
his dominant position in `society'. Much biological and psychological data
is suppressed, because it is proof of the male's gross inferiority to the
female. Also, the problem of mental illness will never be solved while the
male maintains control, because first, men have a vested interest in it --
only females who have very few of their marbles will allow males the
slightest bit of control over anything, and second, the male cannot admit
to the role that fatherhood plays in causing mental illness.

3. Exposes. The male's chief delight in life -- insofar as the tense, grim
male can ever be said to delight in anything -- is in exposing others. It
doesn't' much matter what they're exposed as, so long as they're exposed;
it distracts attention from himself. Exposing others as enemy agents
(Communists and Socialists) is one of his favorite pastimes, as it removes
the source of the threat to him not only from himself, but from the country
and the Western world. The bugs up his ass aren't in him, they're in
Russia.

Distrust: Unable to empathize or feel affection or loyalty, being
exclusively out for himself, the male has no sense of fair play; cowardly,
needing constantly to pander to the female to win her approval, that he is
helpless without, always on the edge lest his animalism, his maleness be
discovered, always needing to cover up, he must lie constantly; being empty
he has not honor or integrity -- he doesn't know what those words mean. The
male, in short, is treacherous, and the only appropriate attitude in a male
`society' is cynicism and distrust.

Ugliness: Being totally sexual, incapable of cerebral or aesthetic
responses, totally materialistic and greedy, the male, besides inflicting
on the world `Great Art', has decorated his unlandscaped cities with ugly
buildings (both inside and out), ugly decors, billboards, highways, cars,
garbage trucks, and, most notably, his own putrid self.

Hatred and Violence: The male is eaten up with tension, with frustration at
not being female, at not being capable of ever achieving satisfaction or
pleasure of any kind; eaten up with hate -- not rational hate that is
directed at those who abuse or insult you -- but irrational, indiscriminate
hate... hatred, at bottom, of his own worthless self.

Gratuitous violence, besides `proving' he's a `Man', serves as an outlet
for his hate and, in addition -- the male being capable only of sexual
responses and needing very strong stimuli to stimulate his half-dead self
-- provides him with a little sexual thrill..

Disease and Death: All diseases are curable, and the aging process and
death are due to disease; it is possible, therefore, never to age and to
live forever. In fact the problems of aging and death could be solved
within a few years, if an all-out, massive scientific assault were made
upon the problem. This, however, will not occur with the male establishment
because:

1. The many male scientists who shy away from biological research,
terrified of the discovery that males are females, and show marked
preference for virile, `manly' war and death programs.

2. The discouragement of many potential scientists from scientific careers
by the rigidity, boringness, expensiveness, time-consumingness, and unfair
exclusivity of our `higher' educational system.

3. Propaganda disseminated by insecure male professionals, who jealously
guard their positions, so that only a highly select few can comprehend
abstract scientific concepts.

4. Widespread lack of self-confidence brought about by the father system
that discourages many talented girls from becoming scientists.

5. Lack of automation. There now exists a wealth of data which, if sorted
out and correlated, would reveal the cure for cancer and several other
diseases and possibly the key to life itself. But the data is so massive it
requires high speed computers to correlate it all. The institution of
computers will be delayed interminably under the male control system, since
the male has a horror of being replaced by machines.

6. The money systems' insatiable need for new products. Most of the few
scientists around who aren't working on death programs are tied up doing
research for corporations.

7. The males like death -- it excites him sexually and, already dead
inside, he wants to die.

8. The bias of the money system for the least creative scientists. Most
scientists come from at least relatively affluent families where Daddy
reigns supreme.

Incapable of a positive state of happiness, which is the only thing that
can justify one's existence, the male is, at best, relaxed, comfortable,
neutral, and this condition is extremely short-lived, as boredom, a
negative state, soon sets in; he is, therefore, doomed to an existence of
suffering relieved only by occasional, fleeting stretches of restfulness,
which state he can only achieve at the expense of some female. The male is,
by his very nature, a leech, an emotional parasite and, therefore, not
ethically entitled to live, as no one as the right to life at someone
else's expense.

Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being
more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a
prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is,
therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as
well as an act of mercy.

However, this moral issue will eventually be rendered academic by the fact
that the male is gradually eliminating himself. In addition to engaging in
the time-honored and classical wars and race riots, men are more and more
either becoming fags or are obliterating themselves through drugs. The
female, whether she likes it or not, will eventually take complete charge,
if for no other reason than that she will have to -- the male, for
practical purposes, won't exist.

Accelerating this trend is the fact that more and more males are acquiring
enlightened self-interest; they're realizing more and more that the female
interest is in their interest, that they can live only through the female
and that the more the female is encouraged to live, to fulfill herself, to
be a female and not a male, the more nearly he lives; he's coming to see
that it's easier and more satisfactory to live through her than to try to
become her and usurp her qualities, claim them as his own, push the female
down and claim that she's a male. The fag, who accepts his maleness, that
is, his passivity and total sexuality, his femininity, is also best served
by women being truly female, as it would then be easier for him to be male,
feminine. If men were wise they would seek to become really female, would
do intensive biological research that would lead to me, by means of
operations on the brain and nervous system, being able t to be transformed
in psyche, as well as body, into women.

Whether to continue to use females for reproduction or to reproduce in the
laboratory will also become academic: what will happen when every female,
twelve and over, is routinely taking the Pill and there are no longer any
accidents? How many women will deliberately get or (if an accident) remain
pregnant? No, Virginia, women don't just adore being brood mares, despite
what the mass of robot, brainwashed women will say. When society consists
of only the fully conscious the answer will be none. Should a certain
percentage of men be set aside by force to serve as brood mares for the
species? Obviously this will not do. The answer is laboratory reproduction
of babies.

As for the issue of whether or not to continue to reproduce males, it
doesn't follow that because the male, like disease, has always existed
among us that he should continue to exist. When genetic control is possible
-- and soon it will be -- it goes without saying that we should produce
only whole, complete beings, not physical defects of deficiencies,
including emotional deficiencies, such as maleness. Just as the deliberate
production of blind people would be highly immoral, so would be the
deliberate production of emotional cripples.

Why produce even females? Why should there be future generations? What is
their purpose? When aging and death are eliminated, why continue to
reproduce? Why should we care what happens when we're dead? Why should we
care that there is no younger generation to succeed us.

Eventually the natural course of events, of social evolution, will lead to
total female control of the world and, subsequently, to the cessation of
the production of males and, ultimately, to the cessation of the production
of females.

But SCUM is impatient; SCUM is not consoled by the thought that future
generations will thrive; SCUM wants to grab some thrilling living for
itself. And, if a large majority of women were SCUM, they could acquire
complete control of this country within a few weeks simply by withdrawing
from the labor force, thereby paralyzing the entire nation. Additional
measures, any one of which would be sufficient to completely disrupt the
economy and everything else, would be for women to declare themselves off
the money system, stop buying, just loot and simply refuse to obey all laws
they don't care to obey. The police force, National Guard, Army, Navy and
Marines combined couldn't squelch a rebellion of over half the population,
particularly when it's made up of people they are utterly helpless without.

If all women simply left men, refused to have anything to do with any of
them -- ever, all men, the government, and the national economy would
collapse completely. Even without leaving men, women who are aware of the
extent of their superiority to and power over men, could acquire complete
control over everything within a few weeks, could effect a total submission
of males to females. In a sane society the male would trot along obediently
after the female. The male is docile and easily led, easily subjected to
the domination of any female who cares to dominate him. The male, in fact,
wants desperately to be led by females, wants Mama in charge, wants to
abandon himself to her care. But this is not a sane society, and most women
are not even dimly aware of where they're at in relation to men.

The conflict, therefore, is not between females and males, but between SCUM
-- dominant, secure, self-confident, nasty, violent, selfish, independent,
proud, thrill-seeking, free-wheeling, arrogant females, who consider
themselves fit to rule the universe, who have free-wheeled to the limits of
this `society' and are ready to wheel on to something far beyond what it
has to offer -- and nice, passive, accepting `cultivated', polite,
dignified, subdued, dependent, scared, mindless, insecure, approval-seeking
Daddy's Girls, who can't cope with the unknown, who want to hang back with
the apes, who feel secure only with Big Daddy standing by, with a big
strong man to lean on and with a fat, hairy face in the White House, who
are too cowardly to face up to the hideous reality of what a man is, what
Daddy is, who have cast their lot with the swine, who have adapted
themselves to animalism, feel superficially comfortable with it and know no
other way of `life', who have reduced their minds, thoughts and sights to
the male level, who, lacking sense, imagination and wit can have value only
in a male `society', who can have a place in the sun, or, rather, in the
slime, only as soothers, ego boosters, relaxers and breeders, who are
dismissed as inconsequents by other females, who project their
deficiencies, their maleness, onto all females and see the female as worm.

But SCUM is too impatient to wait for the de-brainwashing of millions of
assholes. 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 fucking
up the system, selectively destroying property, and murder:

SCUM will become members of the unwork force, the fuck-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 fucking 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 Fuck (males, like the
rats following the Pied Piper, will be lured by Pussy 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 fucking-up, looting, couple-busting, destroying and
killing, SCUM will recruit. SCUM, then, will consist of recruiters; the
elite corps -- the hard core activists (the fuck-ups, looters and
destroyers) and the elite of the elite -- the killers.

Dropping out is not the answer; fucking-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, fucking-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 shitting 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.
