Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
carolyn_rose_14 Common sense refutes many of the claims the MRAs make throughout the film. Almost everyone of these claims is backed by little more than anecdotal evidence that the filmmaker never questions. What statistics are used are never given context. It is genuinely hilarious how frequently the MRAs accidentally use common feminist sayings without realizing the irony. Some valid points are brought up by the MRAs, but most issues they bring up are also areas of concern of feminist movements. Another LARGE thing to consider is that this is a very white perspective. No people of color interviewed--and that is not for lack of experts. Sympathy for MRAs can only go so far. To a point it is just pathetic, and this film crosses that point.
mat-fletcher Cassie Jaye, a self confessed feminist, took a look at the issue of men activists groups, why they exist and how they are at odds with the feminist narrative. Well, that is what she discovered anyway. I feel like giving Cassie a massive hug and high five after watching this, she is a film maker who has the courage and spirit to show the results of her work, whatever they might be in the most accurate way that she can. She has not twisted the footage to fit her agenda, she has simply shown the results of her investigation.It is so important that film makers do this and I am very happy for Cassie and wish her every success with her new ventures.
Tournel Henry 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.
M34 We live in a world where aggrievement is becoming the main currency of politics, workplace environments and the culture as a whole. Further and further divisions society into aggrieved and perceived perpetrators have gone so far, that a simple film questioning widely held beliefs and counterpoising them with facts and objective statistics demolishes one side drives the other side nuts.Look at the one star reviews of this film, it is clear not a single one has watched the film.And the main criticism? That it does not "craft a compelling argument for one side or the other." Nesflash: It is not taking sides, it is not positing that one gender is more or less of a 'victim' than the other. It is simply pointing out how the ultra feminist narrative completely ignored data that disproves a lot of their claims.
