I liked it, though I've been against feminism in its current form for a while now.
I made a note to watch the media when the Australian media (Andrew O'Keefe, Waleed Ali) proceeded to bash the movie without ever having watched it based on what they had heard although the Australian media loves pushing "males are bashers" all the time (especially white men).
Yeah I read that there was some controversy over it being shown at certain theaters over allegations that it "promoted violence against women." I can't say there is even a shred of truth to that after watching the documentary. Like not once is it ever implied that violence against women is ever ok. It doesn't come anywhere close to that implication. It is downright absurd to think someone could have come to that conclusion after having watched the film.
Though I doubt anyone watched the film and reached that conclusion. They probably just read the title and confused it with the reddit page or other violent/shameful aspects of the MRA movement.
It's unfortunate. When men try to bring up men's issues during discussions regarding feminism and gender rights, they get push back. This isn't the platform for that, whataboutism, mansplaining, MRAs don't try to do anything beyond bitching about feminists, etc.
Then when MRAs do try to have a serious discussion, or film, regarding men's issues, feminists invariably protest or otherwise malign the event. If it's a talk on campus, they'll try to intimidate men that are interested in it and pull fire alarms to get it shut down. If it's a film they will lie their asses off to defame the film and the creators and dissuade people from seeing it or protest/threaten to protest to convince theaters to cancel the showings.
Any discussion of issues outside of feminist sanction perspectives are misogynistic hate speech by default, apparently. With the way other feminists have treated her, it's no surprise Cassie Jay no longer considers herself one.
Yeah this movie only further soured me on feminism. All feminists shown in this film seemed to really lack any open mindedness. They had no desire for discussion. Just an I'm right and you are wrong attitude. ---
