TYT: Cenk Uygur Butts Heads With Men's Rights Activist Karen Straughan
Karen Straughan is a self-styled "anti-feminist" and spokesperson for the group Men's Rights Edmonton. She has a popular blog (http://owningyourshit.blogspot.com) and YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/girlwriteswhat) where she talks about a range of gender-related issues, in particular fathers' rights and domestic violence against men.
Watch the interview to see whether she and Cenk Uygur agree or disagree over issues like:
- "Excessive" alimony and child support judgments against wealthy men in divorce proceedings.
- Whether early feminists were more interested in gaining more privileges at the expense of men rather than true equality.
- If circumcision of boys is equally bad as female genital mutilation.
- If suffragettes were true heroes or if they were fighting for rights that they would have soon been granted anyway.
Find out Karen Straughan's thoughts on all the above topics and much, much more in this installment of TYT Interviews.
