THE SCUM MANIFESTO
Copyright 1967 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 possible 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, 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, of love, friendship, affection or
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 service 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, 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
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 is instead 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 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 psychically passive. He hates
his passivity, so he projects it onto women, defines the male as active, then
sets out to prove that he is ("prove he's 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 and 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 fulfilment 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 fulfils himself as
a drag queen) and gets his cock chopped off. He then achieves a continuous
diffuse sexual feeling from "being a woman". Screwing is, for a man, a defence
against his desire to be female. Sex is itself a sublimation.
The male, because of his obsession to compensate for not being female combined
with his inability to relate and to feel compassion, has made of the world a
shitpile. He is responsible for:
War: The male's normal method of 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 number of lives, including his own – his own life being worthless, he
would rather go out in a blaze of glory than 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 a perfect blandness, unsullied by the slightest trace of 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 maintaining the money-work 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 the 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 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, travelling, raising dogs and cats, lolling 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 somebody 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 general masterfulness by the manipulation of money and of everything
and everybody 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 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 gives 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 a
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 expresses disapproval, a state that, unlike
anger, endures and precludes a basic acceptance, leaving the kid with a feeling
of worthlessness and a lifelong obsession with 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 "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, and to a fear of facing reality, as facing it leads at
first to 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 that the most banal, trivial
amusements are great fun and deeply pleasurable.
The effect 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 the 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, nice, 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 aloof
façade, 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 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
1920's. Thhe 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 tough – everything he touches turns to shit.
Suppression of Individuality, Animalism (domesticity and motherhood) and
Functionalism:
The male is just a bundle of conditioned reflexes, incapable of a mentally free
response; he is tied to his early 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 male
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 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" of any passing piece of garbage is easily reduced to Mama,
mindless ministrator to physical needs, soother of the weary, apey brow, booster
of the puny 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 at home
and grovel in animalism, but for Daddy's; the tits for Daddy to hang onto; the
labour 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
themselves against their passivity and 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 – thereby
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
of 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
of almost 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 on the family – a
male-female couple and their kids (the excuse for the family's existence), who
live virtually on top of one another, unscrupulously 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 pretence of being an individual by becoming a "rugged
individualist", a loner, equating non-co-operation 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 along with him to the wilderness, the 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
of 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
co-operation, he forms the 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 females' 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 other's individuality and privacy, at the same time
interacting with each other mentally and emotionally – free spirits in
free relation to each other – and cooperating 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 the 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 on which it is based, is gangbanging. The "hippy" is enticed to the
commune mainly by the prospect of all the 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 of 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, grab the first simpleton who digs him and whisk her off to the
suburbs as fast as he can. The male cannot progress socially, but merely swings
back and forth from isolation to gangbanging.
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 in 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 other drag queens;
like the functionalist, he has an identity – he is a 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 feminine 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 or wrong, no
conscience, which can only stem from an ability to empathize with others...
having no faith in his non-existent self, being necessarily 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 pointlcss 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 empathise with others and being totally sexual,
"wrong" is sexual "licence" 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 on the male need to defend himself against these characteristics. For a
woman (according to men), "wrong" is any behaviour 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 men 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 a male.
Most 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 male 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, pose 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 various 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
male 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-cantered 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 a babble; like the aesthete "appreciating" the blob
that's labelled "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 early childhood in niceness, politeness and "dignity", in pandering
to the male need to disguise his animalism she obligingly reduces her
"conversation" to small talk, a bland insipid avoidance of any topic beyond the
utterly trivial – or, if "educated" to "intellectual" discussion, that is,
impersonal discoursing on irrelevant abstractions – 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 men 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, love
can exist only between two secure, free-wheeling, independent, groovy female
females, since friendship is based on respect, not contempt.
Even among 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 above the amorphous mass. Love can't flourish in a society based on 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 judgement, humble, respectful of
authority ("Daddy knows best" is translated into adult language as "Critic knows
best", "Writer knows best", "PhD 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
labelled "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 appreciate the
greatness, the proof of their superior sensitivity being that they appreciate
the slop that they appreciate. 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 there 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 turd.
This allows the "artist" to be set up as one possessing superior feelings,
perceptions, insights and judgements, thereby undermining the faith of insecure
women in the value and validity of their own feelings, perceptions, insights and
judgements,
The male, having a very limited range of feelings and, consequently, very
limited perceptions, insights and judgements, 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
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 than 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 anyone's
opinion of them, too arrogant to respect Daddy, the "Greats" or the deep wisdom
of the Ancients, who trust only their 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 sucking 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 under 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, can only be, when not grim and
depressing, an utter bore.
Secrecy, Censorship, Suppression of Knowledge and Ideas, and Exposing:
Every male's deep-seated, secret, most hideous fear is the fear of being
discovered to be not a female, but a male, a subhuman animal. Although niceness,
politeness and "dignity" suffice to prevent is 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 in "society", the male must resort to:
1. Censorship. Responding reflexly to isolated words and phrases rather than
cerebrally 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. Exposing. The male's chief delight in life – insofar as the dense, 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 favourite 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 edge lest his animalism, his maleness be discovered,
always needing to cover up, he must lie constantly; being empty, he has no
honour 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.
Hate 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
against those who abuse or insult you – but irrational, indiscriminate hate...
hatred, at bottom, of his own worthless self.
Gratuitous violence, besides "proving" he is 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 ageing process and
death are due to disease; it is possible, therefore, never to age and to live
forever. In fact, the problems of ageing and death could be solved within a few
years, if an all-out, massive scientific assault were made on the problem. This,
however, will not occur within the male establishment, because:
1. The many male scientists who shy away from biological research, terrified of
the discovery 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 system's 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 male likes 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 achieve only
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 has
the right to live 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-honoured 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 he 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 their interest, that they can live only through the female and that
the more the female is encouraged to live, to fulfil 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 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
men, by means of operations on the brain and nervous system, being able 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 women be set
aside by force to serve as brood mares for the species? Obviously this will not
do. The answer is laboratory production 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 it soon will
be – it goes without saying that we should produce only whole, complete beings,
not physical defects or 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 ageing 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 labour force,
thereby paralysing 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 continue to wallow in the sewer that is, at least,
familiar, 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 a worm.
But SCUM is too impatient to hope and 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 and 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 air-waves – 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
ball 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 endeavour 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 so doing 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 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
restaurants that play Musak; "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 jockeys; 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 loiter idly
on the street and mar the landscape with their presence; double dealers;
flim-flam artists; litterbugs; plagiarizers; 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 service men 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 behaviour falls into both the good and bad
categories, an overall subjective evaluation of him will be made to determine if
his behaviour 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 great 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 not, although their behaviour 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-participation, 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 lies 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 an 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 itself to getting 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 of the
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 any other form of indiscriminate
destruction. SCUM will coolly, furtively stalk its prey and quietly move in for
the kill. Destruction will never be such as to block off routes needed for the
transportation of food and 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 its construction will only take a few weeks with millions of people working
at 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 and with it the elimination of males who wish
to legislate "morality" will mean that 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 our educational goal is to
educate and not to 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 uselessness 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
centre where they will be quietly, quickly and painlessly gassed to death.
[Footnote: It will be electronically possible for him to tune in to 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 marvellously 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 existing at all, cluttering up the world with
their ignominious presence, but being pandered to and grovelled before by the
mass of females, millions of women piously worshipping before the Golden Calf,
the dog leading the master on the leash, when in fact the male, short of being a
drag queen, is least miserable when his dogginess is recognised – 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.
