It'd be easier if you just watched it than for me to try to explain via twitter. Radical ideas and concision don't mix well, unfortunately.

I'm not going to watch a 30 minute MRA video on whether women were historically oppressed. I have studied this in a bit more depth for yrs.

I've never heard an analysis like the one in Karen Straughan's video anywhere else. And, I think it's likelier than not that you haven't.

I suspect I have. She outlined it to me over the course of a couple of hours.

The fact that you used the word "oppression" in your dismissal of a quote of hers makes me question how well you understand her position.

Straughan doesn't view gender through a post-Marxist lens, but rather through an evolutionary psychology lens. It's not about "oppression."

I *know.* I have spoken to her. It doesn't allow for the women who want to have careers & independence & the men who don't want full burden.

Nobody said antiquated traditional societies were perfect, or even functional in a modern environment. But they must be viewed in context.

Absolutely they must. That's kind of what I do.
