Dear Emma's point was that if women are economically driven to mary, the relationship is precisely the same as that of a prostitue - in fact the prostitue might actually be both more honest and personally better off, since in theory, she could have some control over her income. So, what it sounds like to me is the guy is advocating for a system in which women have no choice butto mary, and so to return to the kind of dishonesty that makes marriage into a form of prostitution. NO wonder he wrote his little screed. The only question, really, is why he would want to be married to a prostitute. The answer is an old one: The one who pays the piper calls the tune. Not very pretty. WIfeor whore - read Emma Goldman on marriage - that’s actually exactly what the guy wants, then.

S.C.U.M stand, btw, for "society for cutting up men" Valerie, a short while after having published said pamflet, went on to shoot her (ex?)boyfriend Andy Warhol, to put her theory into practice so to speak. Sometimes, some guys.... hell, i don't even feel like arguinmg with the creep. When i read the kind of drivel written by that guy, i am reminded of the S.C.U.M pamflet (written by Valerie Solanas).
