The SCUM Manifesto consists of an introduction, a list of grievances, and a conclusion.[20] The manifesto opens with the following declaration:[33]

“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 eliminate the male sex.

Solanas begins by presenting a theory of the male as an “incomplete female” who is genetically deficient due to the Y chromosome.[34] According to Solanas, this genetic deficiency causes the male to be emotionally limited, egocentric, and incapable of mental passion or genuine interaction. She describes the male as lacking empathy and unable to relate to anything apart from his own physical sensations.[35] The manifesto continues by arguing that the male spends his life attempting to become female, and thereby overcome his inferiority. He does this by “constantly seeking out, fraternizing with and trying to live though and fuse with the female.” Solanas rejects Freud’s theory of penis envy, and argues that men have “pussy envy”. Solanas then accuses men of turning the world into a “shitpile” and presents a long list of grievances.[36]

The bulk of the manifesto consists of a litany of grievances against the male sex. The grievances are divided into the following sections:[37]

War
Niceness, Politeness and “Dignity”
Money, Marriage and Prostitution, Work and Prevention of an Automated Society
Fatherhood and Mental Illness (fear, cowardice, timidity, humility, insecurity, passivity)
Suppression of Individuality, Animalism (domesticity and motherhood) and Functionalism
Prevention of Privacy
Isolation, Suburbs and Prevention of Community
Conformity
Authority and Government
Philosophy, Religion and Morality Based on Sex
Prejudice (racial, ethnic, religious, etc.)
Competition, Prestige, Status, Formal Education, Ignorance and Social and Economic Classes
Prevention of Conversation
Prevention of Friendship and Love
“Great Art” and “Culture”
Sexuality
Boredom
Secrecy, Censorship, Suppression of Knowledge and Ideas, and Exposés
Distrust
Ugliness
Hate and Violence
Disease and Death

Due to the aforementioned grievances, the manifesto concludes that the elimination of the male sex is a moral imperative.[38] It also argues that women must replace the “money-work system” with a system of complete automation, as this will lead to the collapse of the government and the loss of men’s power over women.[39]

In order to accomplish these goals, the manifesto proposes that a revolutionary vanguard of women be formed. This vanguard is referred to as SCUM. The manifesto argues that SCUM should employ sabotage and direct action tactics rather than civil disobedience, as civil disobedience is only useful for making small changes to society. In order to destroy the system, violent action is necessary: “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.”[40]

The manifesto ends by describ

Sheesh! This turd brained little nitwit needs to check with my wife to see how much "POWER" I have over her. These girly whirlies are completely off the deep end.
