Comments:I am Native American, Navajo and Yaqui Heritage. Through a friend on my network commented to me about Chief Wilma Mankiller Chief of the Cherokee Nation. I write this comment from the bottom of my hearet to thank her and praise her for her contributions to Native America.
I am terminally ill and have a couple of groups in democrats.org Party Bloggers Partty Builder. I have been recieving attack as a racist for having pointed out truths that I speak from my heart and point out that it is not I that speaks but the spirits of my ancestors whom cry out for justice from the rich soil of our land drenched bin the blood of our people. Am I wrong to point this out. I cry tears of blood in silence along with Native America, and make it public I am called a racist.

Comments:Your SCUM Manifesto posting should be deleted. What a hateful piece of filth is is! Not only does it foster hatred of men (thus making women no better than their "oppressors"), but it also spreads serious misinformation about marriage, parenthood, and men in general. I'm shocked that any reasonable person would want to encourage such thinking. It is anti-woman as well as anti-man.

Name: Katherine
Comments:Hello, I am here because I found an unusual recorded speech at an estate sale. I am an internet book dealer. This is a 78 on the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. label, probably made before 1910. Mrs. Raymond Brown, Present New York State Suffrage Association, is speaking on WHY WOMEN WANT THE VOTE. The other side has Rabbi Wise of New York speaking on WOMEN AND DEMOCRACY. I can't find anyone who has this recording and am looking for information about it. I am considering putting it on eBay auction or at my eBay store. Any ideas on where to go with this next?

Comments:Do you really think the SCUM manifesto is a valid, acceptable point of view? Do you think that hosting it is an acceptable use of your webspace? Do you think such vitriol would be socially acceptable if the genders were reversed?

Equality will NEVER be achieved without the INCLUSION of the constituency with which you seek equality.

Comments:I came across an manifest posted on your website, "The S.C.U.M. Manifesto" by Valerie Solanas Militant Feminist Writer. The writing was very disturbing. She seems to think that men are completely worthless and possess no constructive abilities whatsoever. She seems so filled with hate. She thinks everything can be "automated, controlled, made to obey or killed". She has grand ideas on how to "perfect" the world. First to eliminate all men. Women and men need to understand that we need eachother. I cannot speak for all men, but I genuinely love women for everything they do for us men and how they enrich our lives.

Name: Kira Howard
Comments:I am in the process of doing a Sociology project and somehow managed to find the S.C.U.M. Manifesto. In some regards I completely understand where she is coming from. When I was seventeen, I was forced into marriage and then raped. I had no use for men. I had lost all faith in the male race. I met my fiancee, and he is the most wonderful person in the world. He is nothing like she was describing. Men are accused of being egotistical pigs, not caring for women or realizing how valuable they truly are.
This passage is showing that she is just the same as these men, running her mouth in disregard to the fact that men play an active role in society. She is acting like an egotistical pig, not caring for men or realizing how precious they are also.
She is being upheld as someone special for being a trash talker. But if a man went and said the same thing about women, he would be condemned to hell for eternity.
This is crazy, and I sure will not be using this in my Sociology project. I don't even want anyone to know that I came across this site. It is a shame to be in the same gender class as this women, and I just hope that the future generation doesn't ever believe this piece of crap.
