Anders Breivik, Anti-Feminist MRA?

July 24, 2011 | Hugo Schwyzer | Good Men Project

As we absorb the shock of what happened last week in Oslo and Utoya, we’re also starting to get a clearer picture of mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, now in Norwegian police custody. His manifesto, which largely consists of uncited work from a host of other right-wing thinkers, is now available online. 2083: A European Declaration of Independence gives us a picture of a man who is deeply troubled by multi-culturalism, by Islam, by modernity, by feminism, and by what has happened to traditional masculinity.

Breivik’s manifesto features an extended section called “Radical Feminism and Political Correctness,” cribbed uncredited from an American writer named Gerald Atkinson. The section complains “that the ‘man of today’ is expected to be a touchy-feely subspecies who bows to the radical feminist agenda.” Feminism’s aim, the manifesto continues, is to “emasculate” men, and render them “unwilling to defend traditional beliefs and values.”

This rage at women in general, and at progressive feminists in particular, runs through much of the long and unwieldy 1187-page text. It’s a rhetoric familiar to anyone who reads the writing of Men’s Rights Activists.

Eivind Berge is a very interesting, outspoken blogger with controversial ideas (for the politically correct). I don't agree with many of his views, and with others I entirely agree. What I do appreciate about him is his brutal honesty, his total disregard for pretence and fakeness. This takes courage, and there are very few people who are willing to be as blunt and honest as he is.

I personally can't stand two faced hypocrits -- spent a year in a prison cell, because I couldn't stand two faced corrupt prosecutore and magistrate and told them that to their face in court proceedings -- so I highly appreciate brutally honest people; cause I know how difficult it is, in this politically correct society, where everone says what they think is appropriate, or nice, or ettiquette, instead of what they honestly think, to the face of the other person.

Secondly, in my personal opinion, much of the problems our society and culture's therein face -- or those which people call 'problems' (considering that so few are sincere and serious about their language, its difficult to know if they call a 'problem' a problem, out of political correctness, or because in their gut, they believe it is a problem -- is a problem of vague, abstract PR bullshit each other language. We cannot get to the source of our problems, cause the majority of us are too gutless to say what we really think and to enter into a conversation with others who have the courage to say what they think.

So a salute to Mr. Berge for his courage!

Mr. Berge describes himself as: “Also known by the pen name Arpagus, I am a libertarian and an antifeminist (not to be confused with misogynist). I am a graduate student in Latin and I wish I were a pickup artist. Unlike many bloggers I proudly assert my earnest opinion under my real identity even though it may get me excluded from polite society.”

He also has some fascinating ideas about Breivik and Breivik's actions, and I think an honest open blog to blog conversation with him, may prove to be illuminating and educational, for me, and I hope for him and readers.

So I sent him an invitation to discussion; as a comment to his Breivik article: Anders Breivik: Paleoconservative Activism Or Beta Rampage?; and unlike much of the rest of the possible 'uncommitted right wing types' who dilute the Personal Responsibility movement; and delete all my comments, petrified it may taint their precious blogs with some brutal 'committed personal responsibility movement' wing honesty; Mr. Berge does not suffer from that paranoia! ;-)

I hope he shall accept.
