Society For Cutting Up Men
''SCUM Manifesto'' is a radical feminist manifesto by Valerie Solanas, published in 1967. It argues that men have ruined the world, and that it is up to women to fix it. To achieve this goal, it suggests the formation of SCUM, an organization dedicated to overthrowing society and eliminating the male sex. The ''Manifesto'' has been described as a satire or parody, especially due to its parallels with Freud's theory of femininity, though this is disputed, even by Solanas herself. The term "SCUM" appeared on the cover of the first edition from Olympia Press as "S.C.U.M." and was said to stand for "Society for Cutting Up Men". Solanas objected, insisting that it was not an acronym, although the expanded term appeared in a '' Village Voice'' ad she had written in 1967. The ''Manifesto'' was little-known until Solanas attempted to murder Andy Warhol in 1968. This event brought significant public attention to the ''Manifesto'' and Solanas herself.

There she began writing the ''SCUM Manifesto'', which urged women to "overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex." In New York City, Solanas asked Warhol to produce her play '' Up Your Ass'', but he claimed to have lost her script and hired her to perform in his film, ''I, a Man'', by way of compensation.
