Cenk Uygur interviews Anti-Feminist MRA Karen Straughan - Polidicks

[video=youtube;r7kqqywey7g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7kqqywey7g[/video] So here's an interesting conversation/debate/argument/shouting match, half way through Uygur just starts shouting at her and tells her to shut up because Feminism got her the right to vote and therefore own her.

Cenk is a retard, whats new? Anna Kasparian isn't much better. Basically the young turks is where you go when you want to join in on some emotional, masturbatory righteous indignation about some issue, not news.

She has a really smug face.

I honesty don't get why the Young Turks would want to name themselves after a group that committed genocide.

I am so so tired of everyone bitching about feminism and tumblr. [editline]4th February 2015[/editline] i take a stroll to lmao pics and it is every page

I can't take MRA seriously, even if they do have logic to some of their ideas, just like I can't take seriously people who try to use Feminism to blame men for everything. In fact, Feminism should be about solving problems for both genders, and the fact that some extreme third-wave feminism caused anti-feminism to pop up to balance itself out is disgusting and ruins the whole point for everything.

Not exactly into MRA, but way to make Feminists look terrible Cenk...

Feminism is equal rights for women and that's what it always was or will be. If you want a movement that wants equal rights for all genders, you need a new one. You can't take something one sided and transform it into something it never was. Sooner people realize this, sooner we can achieve actual equality, none of that "oppressed patriarchy" bullshit.

Cenk really botched this interview. Also I love how he calls her a radical. What the fuck did she say to deserve being labeled a "radical"? I thought she had really well spoken, valid points that deserved consideration.
