S.C.U.M. means “Society for Cutting Up Men.” The beginning of reading already shows how this manifesto will use radical expressions. This manifesto said that men are not necessary in the world. Women can make the better world by only themselves without men. It’s ridiculous now but I understand what the author wanted to say at that time. I can’t say how well the radical language is effective. If the radical language should be “effective,” we would expect that the society was supposed to be changed right way? It’s not. At this point, I can say that the radical language is the effective way to let people the world is not fair. Only people with powers would think the world is fair. Those people might realize how women feel anger and still repress anger. The black panther use less radical language than the S.C.U.M. Manifesto. However, at that time, it might be extreme radical language because black people was on discrimination.
Both said that they want to be fairly treated as a human being. So, people said what they want. Speaking up voice is like an opinion. No one judge if it is right or not. It’s just telling something. We need this even if we don’t receive any response or feedback. If we don’t say anything, no one knows what we are thinking. Say something. It’s a first step to communicating each other. Speak, listen, again speak, and again listen. It’s a communication. The process of communication was not easy, for example, between majority and minority such women and black people. However, without such radical expressions of S.C.U.M. Manifesto and Black Panther, nothing would be changed in the world. Communication is required for all people in the world. We should keep trying to talk each other and understand each other. It’s a first, easy step but it will result in the biggest step and result to change the world better.
