Teaching Knitting to Boys is Dangerous?

[muninnhuginn]

From the Torygraph:

Humiliated by knitting classes

Breivik's grudge against society appears to have its roots in the humiliation he felt at being forced to learn to knit at Smestad primary school in Oslo.

He says these courses were introduced "to feminise European boys in their insane quest to attempt to create the Marxist utopia consisting of 'true equality between the sexes'. I remember I dreaded these courses as it felt very unnatural and was a complete waste of time."

Better not mention anything like this then: Men Who Knit.

This attempt at humour brought to you due to my complete inability to process anything horrific any other way.

The odd thing is that historically knitting appears to have been a traditionally male occupation.

Indeed, particularly among those living by the sea.

... which does not of course include the inhabitants of Oslo. Of course not. No way. No VikingsNorwegian men could ever have been seafarers *coughthorcoughheyedahlcough*

Yes, that was my second reaction. The first was less printable. The third is that he wants public attention; I hope he enjoys the mockery and humiliation that comes his way.
