Eve Ensler faces MRAs in India

Story here. Eve Ensler faced picketing MRAs recently in India for spreading hatred towards the male gender. Excerpt:
'That's what harassed husbands claimed when feminist author Eve Ensler refused to meet them after a long wait of 5 hours
I Am An Emotional Creature (link added), the latest play by American playwright Eve Ensler, of "Vagina Monologues" fame may have touched a chord with the city's women but the city's harassed husbands are angry at the way it portrays men.
They waited for five hours on Sunday at Kyra Theatre and Restaurant in Indiranagar where the play was being performed so they could meet Ensler and air their grievances, but it was in vain as Ensler refused to meet them.
...
"We were there to let her know about the situation in India, which is very different from that described in her play. Things shown here are far from reality and men are portrayed wrongly," said Mithun Kumar, another SIFF member.
The pamphlets distributed by the harassed husbands gave figures on how women commit atrocities against men and their women family members by misusing Section 498 (A).'

That's just a sign of women's superior compassion when facing complex issues such as bending over for one gender at the complete expense of the other.
