The “manosphere” is the term typically given to male opposition to feminism’s lies, hate, and misandry. But many women who are speaking out against feminism can legitimately be considered an integral part of the manosphere.
A list of these women can be found in my article Women of the Manosphere.
This article profiles just one these wonderful women, Karen Straughan.
Karen discovered the men’s rights movement when she was going through a divorce. She found how unjust child custody laws were against men when she was declared, against her wishes, the presumptive custodial parent, and legally unable to waive a child support order against her ex-husband.
Shortly after, she witnessed another injustice when her new boyfriend, who had helped raise a stepdaughter, had been blocked from seeing the child for eight years.
In 2011, she started a blog, “Owning Your Shit”, and a YouTube channel named “Girl Writes What”, where she discussed her views supporting the men’s rights movement. Within three years her early video “Feminism and the Disposable Male” had over a million views.
By 2013, she acted as a spokesperson for Men’s Rights Edmonton (Canada).
Today she is a member of the Honey Badger Brigade, a group of female men’s rights activists named after the indomitable and ferocious honey badger.
In 2016 Karen appeared in a movie, The Red Pill, produced by another Woman of the Manosphere, Cassie Jaye.
During her Red Pill interview, Straughan discussed how, when the terrorist group Boko Haram had kidnapped 200 girls, there was international condemnation and a global “Bring Back Our Girls” campaign started but how there was scarcely a trickle of media attention when Boko Haram killed hundreds of boys — many burned alive — months before the girls’ kidnapping.
This portion of her interview is available online. In this video Karen describes the shameful neglect of these boys’ deaths — because they were male.
Thank God for Karen and women like her! They are literally one-in-ten-million!
