The first sounds pretty loony to me. I've never heard anyone actually say that, though. Perhaps I'm not reading/viewing the "right" MRAs.

It was Karen Straughan who first told me that Saudi Arabia privileged women.

Who has said that circumcision is a feminist plot, though? I'm not saying they haven't, I've just not heard that.

Karen Straughan thinks women are privileged everywhere, and so are men, albeit in diff ways. Both kinds of privilege come with obligations.pic.twitter.com/T6H5aGRMNg

Yes, this is trivially true & commonly presented in a facile way to create a sense of 'well, we're all oppressed so stop whining.'

Actually, Straughan explicitly avoids use of the word "oppression" in her analyses. She thinks it diminishes theoretical clarity. I agree.

I know. The argument is that its not really oppression when everyone has different burdens and privileges.
