===Views=== The organization glorifies political violence against leftists, re-enacting political assassinations, wearing shirts that praise [[Augusto Pinochet]]'s [[murder]]s of leftists, and participating directly in political violence. McInnes has said "I want violence, I want punching in the face. I'm disappointed in Trump supporters for not punching enough." He stated, "We don't start fights [...] but we will finish them." Heidi Beirich, the Intelligence Project director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that this form of intentional aggression was not common among far-right groups in the past; she said: "'We're going to show up and we're intending to get in fights,' that's a new thing." In August 2018, Twitter shut down the official account for the group, as well as McInnes' account, under its policy prohibiting violent extremist groups; at the time, the group's profile photo was a member punching a counter-protester. The organization is [[Misogyny|opposed to feminism and promotes gender stereotypes in which women are subservient to men]]. The organization has a female-member-only auxiliary wing named "Proud Boys' Girls" that supports the same ideology. Some men who are not white have joined the Proud Boys, drawn by the organization's advocacy for men, anti-immigrant stance, and embrace of violence. The Proud Boys say they have an initiation process that has four stages and includes [[hazing]]. The first stage is a loyalty oath, on the order of "Iβm a proud Western chauvinist, I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world"; the second is getting punched until the person recites pop culture trivia, such as the names of five breakfast cereals; the third is getting a tattoo and agreeing to not masturbate; and the fourth is getting into a major fight "for the cause".
