Me while reading Valerie Solanas’ S.C.U.M manifesto:
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.

In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage.

[Men have] 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.

The male is just a bunch of conditioned reflexes, incapable of a mentally free response…the male is a mere member of the species, interchangeable with every other male. He has no deep-seated individuality

the male function is to produce sperm. We now have sperm banks.
Every man, deep down, knows he’s a worthless piece of shit.
Leisure time horrifies the male, who will have nothing to do but contemplate his grotesque self.
The male has a negative Midas Touch — everything he touches turns to shit.



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. [FOOTNOTE: It will be electronically possible for him to tune into any specific female he wants to and follow in detail her every movement. The females will kindly, obligingly consent to this, as it won’t hurt them in the slightest and it is a marvelously kind and humane way to treat their unfortunate, handicapped fellow beings.]

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
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.
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

EDIT: I’m still reading the manifesto, and finding there is transphobia in it. So TRIGGER WARNING for the link.

You do realize that the sperm is cryogenically frozen and that we have literally millions of sperm donations, right?...

“Now we have sperm banks” where does that stored sperm come from?
