There were many irritating aspects to MW’s film but Marci Bowers’ description of transableism as a mental health condition and “kooky” contrasted against their own glaring blind spot was worth the price of admission. The gender affirming, puberty blocker dispensing medic from Planned Parenthood was 😱.

The gender studies professor is so exactly a character out of a 90s comedy skit. The hair. The childish repetition of Walsh's questions. Then the blue haired doctor with the "does a chicken commit suicide" bit...

Yeah Matt Walsh is a conservative sexist who looked at the radical feminists' homework and passed it off as his own, but it's a good watch.

Its gone from bad to worse - there is something horribly colonial about the scene with the Maasai tribe!

It's more about kids than women despite the title.

The first half is quite light-hearted with people looking foolish, the second half is harder hitting when he starts talking to Scott Newgent and revealing what's been done to kids.

It's definitely not a GC feminist film but it'll resonate with many parents in the way that many GC feminists won't.

Adult Human female is on vimeo and free to watch. Features many British feminists and isn't made by a bloke

I think I might switch to that.

This appears to be more focused on Matt Walsh mocking people and making himself feel clever than on the actually experiences of women affected by the issue.

I am part way through this and am really disappointed so far. He starts off with a loads of sexist bullshit his son only needing a BB gun for emotional support and then just goes into him asking people to define a woman as some kind of gotcha moment. It's hardly groundbreaking.

I will watch to the end in case it improves but so far I am not understanding why people think it is so great.

I watched it and enjoyed it.

Yes Elon has tweeted it. It's racking up the views rapidly.
It's a good and challenging film. The more it gets viewed the better.

EdgeOfACoin · 02/06/2023 14:17

Elon Musk ended up retweeting it.

It's reached a far, far larger audience than if some of the back room people at Twitter hadn't tried to stop it from being shown in the first place.

I don't have a twitter account and it played OK for me. Maybe try logging out if your twitter account is causing problems.

Iafontaine · 02/06/2023 13:09

I saw the twitter controversy, I will try to watch it. Hopefully it will succeed to reach a wide audience.

Yes I watched it, had to follow the Daily Wire on Twitter first, seems to have been some shenanigans, seemingly involving someone resigning.

Id love schools to be required to show this film.
