  Cabinet Magazine Online - How to Join the Men's Auxillary
SCUM, or the Society for Cutting Up Men, was the brainchild of a writer and playwright who, having first fled her home at age fifteen, and then her graduate psych-ology work at the University of Minnesota, supported herself in Greenwich Village with panhandling and prostitution.
Solanas’s manifesto builds on the premise that a man is an incomplete woman, the accidental result of an amputated chromosomal set.
In fact, the man Solanas invited to be president of SCUM was Warhol himself, prior to the shooting on 3 June 1968.

One year before, Solonas had authored and published The SCUM Manifesto, which delineated her plans to instigate nothing less than a world-wide male holocaust.
Be that as it may, Solonas fell into prison and obscurity, until the recent unearthing of The SCUM Manifesto by several groups, including Dialectical Immaterialism Press (a "neoist" group) and Matriarchy Study Group.
But SCUM is too impatient to wait for the de-brainwashing of millions of arseholes.

 Spiral Nature - Reviews - Book Reviews - Valerie Solanas
The SCUM Manifesto has been published off and on since 1967; it was written by Valerie Solanas, the woman who, in 1968, shot Andy Warhol.
It's essentially a feminist manifesto pointing out the inequalities found in society between men and women, reversing the traditional stereotypes and laying the blame on thick and pointing out the inadaquacy of each gender.
The entire Manifesto is filled with similar contradictory generalizations of both sexes, generally male=negative, female=positive - though if you're not SCUM, she hates you too.

It's a little bit miscast as a response to Tony Judt's broad-brush assertion that American liberals as a whole have failed to oppose George W. Bush, but this manifesto by Bruce Ackerman and Todd Gitlin and signed by many other worthies is good stuff nonetheless.
What the rise of this Bush Administration has done is to appeal to, and legitimize, bigotry, isolationism, and hatred of those who do not walk the fine line of what they (Bush and his supporters) have defined as 'acceptable' (e.g., heterosexual, egregiously unfair corporate support, total subservience to government, being white).

Solanas herself fostered a connection between the shooting of Warhol and the SCUM Manifesto.
Attempts to map the Manifesto and the shooting of Warhol in a casual relationship are misguided, as were attempts to make Solanas the poster girl for radical feminism, like Roxanne Dunbar and Ti-Grace Atkinson did.
In SCUM, Solanas writes, “The elimination of the male…is a righteous act and good act….However, this moral issue will eventually be rendered academic by the fact that the male is gradually eliminating himself” (35) through wars, race-riots, drugs and becoming fags.

 Weekly Web Review
For those of you who haven't seen the film or have otherwise not heard of Solanas, she developed her own brand of radical anarcho-feminism in the form of the Society for Cutting Up Men (SCUM), and gained infamy for the act the movie is named after, shooting Andy Warhol.
What you get is an account from Valerie herself (actually, this may or may not be fictionalized, but it is presented through her perspective) about herself, SCUM, and the people around her including Andy Warhol and his gang.
As you go through the site, you are presented with quotes from SCUM as well as a link to the full text of the SCUM Manifesto, which Valerie describes as "a bullet in the head of the male establishment." It is an interesting read and makes for good contrast to the patriarchy stuff (such as

 Manifesto - Psychology Wiki
The SCUM Manifesto (1968), by Valerie Solanas, a radical feminist manifesto
Legislative proposals which have featured in the manifesto of a party which has won an election are often regarded as having superior legitimacy to other measures which a governing party may introduce for consideration by the legislature.
Although, in recent decades the status of electoral manifestos in the UK has diminished somewhat due to an significant tendency for winning parties to, following the election, either ignore, indefinitely delay, or even outright reject manifesto policies which were popular with the public.

And she wrote a document in the late '60s, the mid-60s, called 'The SCUM Manifesto,' which I found in a bookstore in London in the late '80s, which affected me so powerfully and which I thought was so brilliant and so funny that it inspired me to make this film.
Written in 1965--and hinting at The SCUM Manifesto that Solanas would pen and peddle on the streets a few years later--the play centers on a wisecracking, trick-turning, thoroughly misanthropic dyke called Bongi (played with scowling charm by Sara Moore).
Presaging The SCUM Manifesto, Bongi predicts a day when the phrase ''female of the species will be a redundancy.'' What happened instead, of course, is that the phrase so often used to describe Solanas after she shot Warhol--''deranged feminist''--became the redundancy.

 SCUM Manifesto
SCUM Manifesto was considered one of the most outrageous, violent and certifiably crazy tracts when it first appeared in 1968.
But the Manifesto, for all its vitriol, is impossible to dismiss as just the rantings of a lesbian lunatic.
In fact, the work has indisputable prescience, not only as a radical feminist analysis light-years ahead of its time…predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against under-representation in the arts…but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman.

She distributed copies of her book, SCUM Manifesto, to women who she thought might be interested in her theory that the Y chromosome was a biological accident that should be rectified immediately.

Included are: 1) Olympia Press's editions of the Manifesto were inaccurate, "words and even extended parts of sentences left out, rendering the passages they should have been incoherent;" and 2) The Voice refused to publish the address of the Contact Man, which she considered one of the important reasons for the interview.

Yet here is the infamous crackpot rant, written in 1967 by Valerie Solanas -- the woman who tried to kill Andy Warhol and who wanted to "destroy the male sex" -- in a stylish new hardcover edition from Verso.
This elegant "SCUM Manifesto," bound in flannel gray with shocking-pink endpapers, is a slim volume, covered by a jet-fl dust jacket featuring a picture of an even slimmer box cutter -- a reference to Solanas's "Society for Cutting Up Men" doing double-duty as a post-9/11 dare to the Ashcroft Justice Department.
It will take more than high-design to reduce the "Manifesto" to the level of home decor or prop (unless it's agitprop).

 Valerie Solanas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
This icon is brought to you by the letters S, C, U, and M. The SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto was the brain child of damaged, disenfranchised, groovy, Valerie Solanas who, for her next trick went on to shoot Andy Warhol, thereby earning a lot more than those clichéd 15 minutes of fame.
Val's reasoning was based on her belief that the male of the species is a "biological accident… an incomplete female… a walking abortion." Her Manifesto is a jolly little read, depicting a world where "free-wheeling females" will "unwork" in order to undermine society, and then destroy it completely.
Men will be dispatched to "friendly suicide centres", or forced to parade around in drag, attending "turd sessions" where they must list all the ways in which they are a turd.
