S.C.O.M. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

PART ONE: TO WHOM WE FOUND CONCERNING

You are encountering the work of a global cabal of wide-awake women, shed of the societal value of information suppression & presumptions of anonymity. Social media has enabled us to share our most intimate & intense thoughts to the world at large on public social media. With your name & face attached, you typed these words and posted them. We are taking the words on the screen & putting them on paper. We will put the paper where it can be touched by you. Your thoughts, first inside yourself, then digitized, now constructed back into the reality they represent. You will find these papers in your place of work. Around the place you live. Why?

WE ARE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE FOUND YOU
IT IS EASY TO FIND YOU
BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HIDE
BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HIDE,
YOU MUST FEEL YOU HAVE DONE NO WRONG
IF YOU HAVE DONE NO WRONG,
WHY SHOULDN'T EVERYONE KNOW IT?

We stand by what we believe & say. Do you stand by what you believe & say? Will you, now
that you have no choice? What would the women in your life, whether seriously or casually, say if they knew everything you've said & believed about them all at once, not doled a piece at a time, slow enough that they start to think it's normal? Or this self that you've hidden entirely? What if you lost control of how they saw you? What if they saw how you see them?

WE SEE YOU - YOU HAVE EXPOSED YOURSELF
READY OR NOT - HERE COME THE WITNESSES

When information about how someone sees the women around exists but is likely not known, we believe those women are entitled to it at their leisure, not at the will of the woman-hater. This is not the beginning of a campaign against you. You aren't important. The flyers for the benefit of women are sufficient. You aren't important. We act in affirmation of women's safety. You aren't important. What's important is that women know who is proud to hate them.

This isn't really about you as an individual; you aren't much of one. The world is covered with woman-haters who hide that self to some degree in some corner of their life. We are devoted to advancing transparency in woman-hating. What did you say that you didn't want printed out and taped out? It was good enough to say, wasn't it? Because you said it, remember? This is all you.



PART TWO: TO THE WITNESSES

Hello, witness. We appreciate your curiosity. You may be experiencing any number of emotions right now. We won't assume. But if you are a witness who is invigorated by this action, we feel you. You don't need to contact us, because you are us. You are capable of doing this same thing. We have broken no laws. We have caused no harm that does not have a proportionate benefit. We have measured this action carefully and found it moral. Do you find it moral? Why or why not?

If you are a witness who feels a twinge of fear at this, who is thinking of some of the things you've expressed online, why? What stands out? What have you expressed that would give you that feeling in the pit of your stomach to see your name and face next to in your hands? What did you say? Why did you think it? The truth is, it is very easy to escape our notice. Why wouldn't you?

Do you want to join us? It's simple. Here are the steps.
  1. Spot a local Concerning Individual in the wild on the world wide web. This one is very easy.
  2. Gather the posts made until you have enough for one simple flyer.
  3. Document & archive the Concerning Individual's online presence thoroughly and permanently, with backups, so there weak, cowardly attempts at denial are thwarted.
  4. Use only the Concerning Individual's words, name & face on the flyer, so as to not fuel delusions of any sort of danger except staring accountability in the face.
  5. Ascertain the Concerning Individual's place of work, study, worship, and/or living place.
  6. Place flyers, using techniques that will not overburden the workers who will remove them. Think: scotch tape, under windshield wipers, on front doors, on bulletin boards, in mailboxes.
  7. Do your best to remain anonymous.
Define your values. Recruit your friends. Spread the painful truth.

Yours in defiance,

The Society for Calling Out Males (S.C.O.M.)
