The SCUM manifesto, written by Valarie Solanas at age 31, is a text from the 60s describing how awful men are and why they are not needed in society. Valarie herself was the leader of SCUM, the Society for Cutting Up Men, and was a radical feminist, even shooting Andy Warhol several times. She states that men who transition to women or people who are not binary should die or kill themselves. The text describes that the system of money should be abolished, men who support SCUM should kill themselves and other men to bring the goals of SCUM to life, and that men only want to be more like women. The text as a whole seems to be based on the communist manifesto, except that the communist manifesto has a better system organization than this text. She mentions how men would act as guards of the society during meetings, very similar to the gestapo of the Nazis and some ideas such as the idea of women domination reflect the ideas of the Nazi party. Valarie will constantly come back to the idea that men are not needed, which in some ways they are not today due to sperm banks, although this is a highly debatable topic. She views women who support her movement as actually hurting SCUM more than helping it and sees men who support SCUM as those who should kill themselves in service of SCUM. Some ideas presented by Valarie make a lot of sense and are realistic, such as the idea that men hide their feelings and are scared to express who they are, while others do not make much sense such as the idea that only women at birth should be allowed to live. Many of the ideas and hatred she shows towards men is likely linked to the abusive men that have been involved in her life. For example, her father abused her as a child, possibly leading to the belief that all men are bad. By the way Valarie writes, it seems like she could be one of the only members of SCUM or possibly the only member. When she wrote this it is possible that there was no such thing as SCUM. Valarie does not provide scientific evidence or any really hard evidence that men should all die, but just keeps repeating it over and over.
