Not sure... does this belong under politics? Interesting group/organization IMHO... worth a look to some I guess... From the article... "Liberals entire worldview is based on shame: We stole this land from the Indians and used slaves to make it work. They don’t mind if we’re constantly apologizing but when Proud Boys come along and say, “No. We didn’t steal anything. That’s history. It’s all warring tribes. And we didn’t start slavery. We ended it. We’re proud of what we created here.” The controversy surrounding Proud Boys is a real mirror on society. Local politicians are demanding we be shut down. How? People are losing their jobs for associating with us. The ADL is warning the world about us, and what do we do? We drink beers and goof off. We are all races, sexual preferences, and religions. It's just a normal men's club. Why do people care so much about a private club? These used to be everywhere. All over Britain and America and Canada from the 1600s up to the 1980s, and then feminism decided men shouldn’t hang out and that was that. The fact that something so benign is considered so controversial is proof the pendulum has swung too far to the left."

They sound like my kind of men's club...do they have a knitting group?...I bet they have some wicked pinochle parties....
What can I say...some clubs have bizarro initiation rituals....I guess not weeping when they are arrested and prosecuted is a test that has to wait until they start counter protesting counter protesters. me a river.... Edit: It seems like Proud Boys has four degrees to their initiation.... Yes...definitely pacifists.
I used to play double deck with partners when we were TDY in strange and inhospitable places courtesy of Uncle Sam and his appointees ...
Reading the quoted article in the OP....the Proud Boys 'almost' seem wholesome Those poor, hard done by, misunderstood lads...they wouldn't hurt a fly I suppose.... Jeffrey Rojo – Proud Boy Magazine The fratty Proud Boys are the alt right’s weirdest new phenomenon
I think you're a master of understatement, OldDude..... researching their folkways and customs has been highly entertaining...., and slightly disturbing....Remember......"Chex, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, and Special K” however, mentioning, Kellogs Chocos or Froot Loops may well get an initiate, a more prolonged beating!
Some of their supposed beliefs about women needing to be housewives only are pretty isis like. I don't mind any woman (or man) who chooses to stay home with her kids but I will not have that way of life forced upon me.
TBH, I think that whole operation is more likely to be a sarcastic response to what is characterized as feminist reactions to gender exclusive clubs. The only part that gets my attention is the sorta humorous creation of a "military" sub group; WAY too apt to attract really negative attention.
Heck if men want to have their "man clubs" like elks, moose, masons etc fine with me. I don't even go to the vfw although I am a member because its all men. Nothing against men. My husband who is my best friend happens to be one. Most of my coworkers in my civilian job and in the reserves are men. I usually get along better with men than with other women. I just wouldn't want to join a "man club" like that.
Can you provide evidence that TPB advocates FORCING women to bear children or be housewives? Nope. Step right please...you're walking slightly to the left and 2 steps back when making leaps of judgement comparing them to followers of the religion of peace.
Light body shots are not "prolonged beatings". Sigh...i suppose "words are violence" in your world too...so I expect no less asshattery. Your perception is not their reality....your safe space should rightfully be several yards away from these "Men who aren't ashamed to be men."
MOST excellent attitude. Thing is, there are a LOT of females that object to being excluded by reason of gender and create havoc and noise until their desires result in policy changes.
1. I got that infprmation from one of the linked stories that claimed they were all for 1950's values about women being housewives. 2.The religion of peace can kiss my butt. 3. I am neither fully rightwing nor fully leftwing. I am centrist right leaning.
I have no problem with men being men. Women who want special treatment based on gender are part of the problem. Why say you want to join an organization for their traditions when your joining will destroy all of those traditions you claim to want to honor?
