I expected to hate it and actually found it really interesting. Didn't agree with all of it by any means (particularly the family court/divorce/custody issues) but thought it raised some pertinent points. The different media responses to the Nigerian schoolgirls abduction contrasted with the numerous killings of teenage boys in the region for one.

What exactly put you off from the Wikipedia article?

None of the mra in the film were attacking women's rights at all and why are you trying to tar them all with the same brush?

The film discusses numerous issues facing men and boys such as male suicide rates, workplace fatalities and high-risk jobs, false allegations of rape, military conscription, lack of services for male victims of domestic violence and rape, higher rates of violent victimization, issues concerning divorce and child custody, disparity in criminal sentencing, disproportionate funding and research on men's health issues, educational inequality, societal tolerance of misandry, and men's lack of reproductive rights.

Same here. I'm feeling rather beleaguered by all the women hating going on at the moment.

I've avoided looking at the red pill stuff in case it tips me over the edge!

Hadn't heard of this. Looks really good. I'll definitely be watching it.

Theres a biased piece of reporting on it;

www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/the-red-pill-the-movie-about-men-that-feminists-didnt-want-you-t/

It glosses over all the problems with the Red Pill movement, such as the fact that they are behind the MRA/TRA movement which is attacking womens rights.

What important issues did it raise? I'm not sure my blood pressure could cope with watching it tbh, given the description of it on Wilipedia.

What is it?

brexitstolemyfuture · 17/05/2017 07:22

I get the same impression, it's raised some really important iissues. Can't believe it's ignored
