The Red Pill: the movie about men that feminists didn’t want you to see

Article here. Excerpt:

'A feminist filmmaker has re-ignited the gender war by daring to make a controversial movie about the Men Right’s Movement.

As part of her research for The Red Pill, American film maker Cassie Jaye spent hundreds of hours with the internet’s most notorious Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) over a two-and-a-half year period. For balance, she also interviewed some of their fiercest critics – such as Katherine Spillar, Executive Director of the Feminist Majority Foundation.

Jaye began the process as a feminist, but she ended up not only sympathising with the MRAs, but fundamentally questioning the “aggressive” ethos of modern feminism.

For her efforts, she says she has been smeared, threatened with “career suicide” and even saw her funding dry up – to the point where the movie was unlikely to see the light of day.'

I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to cancel men so we can have a frank and spirited conversation about how to behave like good people. Until we have that honest talk, no more football or fart jokes or double bacon cheeseburgers. No more high-fives or fist bumps or boob banter. I’m cancelling video games and comic books and beer pong.

If you’re in the locker room, do what you’re supposed to do in the locker room. Change into your short shorts.

I’m pulling this car over.

I don’t want to do this. But it’s time we have a talk. Man to men. It’s become clear that we men cannot emotionally handle the fact that we are flawed, imperfect and selfish human beings who don’t like it when shit changes. It’s natural to panic when shit changes. But we’re beyond Xanax right now.

Boy, I'm getting tired of white knights. My response to them when they start spewing their hate speech is, "speak for yourself, dude. I don't know any men who are as you describe. I guess you just like to project."

BTW, he stole his "be better" line from Michelle Obama. I hope he enjoys his life grovelling at high-heel clad feet.

Also couldn't help but notice he believes the wage gap myth.

[s] Well, clearly, he's an expert on gender relations, and you know, objective reality! [/s]
