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 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
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 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* 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.
[* 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.]
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.
