Watch The Red Pill For Free

Best movie ever!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I wanted to cry at the end of this, not because I felt like I had learned anything new, but because it reinforced what I already knew - that sexism is on the rise, especially in young women. The only people that come away from this and feel like their opinion is changed, are people that were influenced by sexist beliefs in the first place. Personally, I had not identified as feminist until recently, but it turns out, I have always been for gender equality. But, because of the labeling of older feminists as "radical feminists", I had felt that that was an insult, and did not want to be considered disagreeable. Younger people now do not understand that "radical feminist" is not a new insult. That was what killed the movement in the 1980s when the ERA failed to pass, which is now only having a "second wave" due to current politics. Men's rights are not a backlash to feminism - they are hijacking it. It is an inside job. The last argument focuses on circumcision, but what the narrator doesn't seem to understand is that it was the same people in the 1970s that fought for sexual and racial equality, that also fought against things like circumcision. And the women's movement has never claimed that there aren't victims and perpetrators on both sides - that is the opposite of what it claims, since it posits that men and women are equal (and therefore equally capable of being good and bad). While thought provoking, I find that this documentary impassions where feminists already had compassion. The fact that the filmmaker didn't know about these issues is what really terrifies me. Women WANT to dig ditches, we WANT to fight and die in wars. We don't want to be the first person off the boat. And we certainly don't want to coddle men's emotions, just as we don't want women to be coddled. But, you will find that while some men are saying that women have it better than men, they are predominately the same people fighting to keep things the way they are (while not necessarily the men in this film). I think what we see here is an example of men taking their own individual experiences, in which they were negatively effected by a woman or sexism in general, and they are incorrectly extrapolating it to mean that feminism overall is bad. The fact that it does not address benevolent sexism is also troubling (when men treat women as if they are in need of protection). In other words, it focuses on the plight of men suffering for the sacrifice of protecting women, but it fails to expand on why that mentality is bad for women, too (it weakens their social power outside of the context of war and labor, which justifies inequality). Men who demonstrate benevolent sexism are also more likely to demonstrate hostile sexism - the type that we are familiar with, because the two things are related. Those of us who truly understand what sexism is, have always known that the pedestal which women are placed on is in fact imaginary, and men choose to continue making sacrifices (like fighting in wars), because it reinforces their superiority as humans. Real feminists want the opportunity to die for a cause - they want to be able to say they earned their privilege. Because the driving force of human behavior is to do something good for others and to have value in society, even as a ditch digger. It is a privilege to say that you are the breadwinner, and that you did the work. Anti-feminists, like the woman in this film, fail to acknowledge that unfair privilege is harmful to men, by treating them as inferior in a way, needing an unfair advantage, and to be lied to about their true value. The fact that the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram was so publicized is also an example of benevolent sexism, where significant attention was given because of the underlying belief that women are more vulnerable and needing protection. THAT is sexism, not the fact that so many boys were killed, too, which is of course a grave tragedy, and no true feminist would ever say that it wasn't. So, instead of abandoning the idea of feminism as sexual equality for all, why not just acknowledge that you never truly understood it to begin with?

I heard about this documentary on youtube and after watching a Ted Talk by the filmmaker I had to see it. Honestly, my expectations may have been too high but it was still a very good documentary. The production value was great and it was a topic which really doesn't get any mainstream media attention (unless you count htitpieces on buzzfeed, vox, or huffingtonpost). She focused on the issues that the MRA movement is most concerned with and which your average person can easily get on board with. She also exposed some of the flaws of the modern feminist movement, which is in desperate need of self-evaluation. She mostly avoided some of the most controversial points, which may actually have been wise because this film got a huge backlash as it is. There were some pretty compelling arguments made in the documentary and there were some very sad stories presented which I think will raise peoples awareness of men's issues. It would have been good to hear more about the accusations made against the MRAs however because they were sometimes quite severe. Also, there could have been a little more from the feminist perspective.

First, it was so easy to understand. Interestingly arranged. Also brought up different views of gender rights. But, most importantly, it sheds light on gender discrimination against male. An issue which is always overlooked. I was surprised when it brought up statistics I didn't expect to illustrate this (including the "Bring Back Our Girls" movement). Then, it is accompanied with modestly nice graphics for a documentary.

First off I wanted to state that I am a male and I thought this film was a huge waste of time. It is a documentary about a bunch of whiny men with no real journalistic integrity.First I never got a sense of what male activists actually wanted to achieve; yes they stand up and shout that men are actually the ones being discriminated against while women have all the advantages. Unfortunately, these activists aren't doing anything about the actual issues - nothing was presented in the documentary.The movie notes the high level of abuse against husbands so why are these men not creating public service announcements, paying for posters and billboards. They could have a really great slogan - domestic violence doesn't see gender. The men lament the lack of services for them like there is only one men's shelter in the entire country. Most shelters are run by non-profit organizations. So instead of whiny why don't they get together, create a society and apply for government grants. The journalist didn't bother to answer these questions.Instead of being active all they do is sit in front of audiences saying how they are getting a raw deal in society. However, what women have found out is that society won't change until you change.The bit that really got me was the idea that men are scarifying themselves. A bunch of stats like work-place accidents, war combat deaths were presented in the film. However what is never mentioned is that women were never allowed in combat positions. For example: it wasn't until 2012 that women were allowed to serve in a submarine. Men are involved in more work place accidents because women were never hired in these jobs like firefighter, police officer, lumberjack, miner. A little bit of objectivity from Ms Jaye would have been nice.Yes there are some issues that needs to be addressed in society like a man's role in the family and the growing threat of domestic violence but that doesn't mean we should stop supporting women in their battle for equality.
