A Proposal for defining the Feminist vs Anti-Feminist Problem
19 December 2011 | Andrea Muhrrteyn | Norway v. Breivik
I have been writing this post in response to my request for a discussion with Eivind Berge on the issue of Breivik, feminism and multiculturalism et al; for two days in my head now. Hopefully it comes out as clearly articulated as I manage to explain it to myself in my head!
Insincere KnowItAllers and Sincere Truthseekers:
In my worldview there are two types of people and you find these two types of people in any group, race, tribe, religion, nation, etc. There are insincere conservatives, liberals, communists, Christians, muslims, feminists, racists; and there are sincere conservatives, liberals, communists, Christians, muslims, feminists, racists. Put differently the Insincere could be called KnowItAllers and the sincere could be called Truthseekers. The degree of anyone’s KnowItAller vs Truthseeking cognitive communicative and listening capabilities on any issue/s is directly proportional to their Ego-Identity Psychological Investment into any strong group identity associated to that particular issue.
For example: I upset allot of people from feminists to anti-feminists, racists to anti-racists to black/white nationalists, Christians, muslims, liberals, conservatives, communists, capitalists, because I refuse to join either their own ideological, racial or religious group or its anti-thesis. If I refuse to join their own group, the least I can do is join their opposition and thereby provide them with opposing credibility.
