'Betrayed': Male rape victims slam Oscar-nominated filmmakers over focus on women

We felt that once the country started putting pressure on the military to make these changes, if and when the military does make changes, those will apply to men just as they will women. So we kind of felt women would get the discussion going and push the military to make the change for everyone.- Kirby Dick, director

Riiight, because whenever victimization rates are similar for both genders and we only focus on women all the benefits they receive get applied to everyone. /S

Oh wait, except things like domestic violence, rape, most forms of violence, and all the other places women are painted as the primary victims and given preferential treatment that either does not help or actively hurts men.

That director sure is a Dick.

I wish I could move the album text, but here it is:

Scumbag "the Invisible War" filmmakers and producers

Create "The Invisible War," an Oscar-nominated documentary about military sexual assaults, and interview male victims. Then ignore interviewed male victims, hide them from the website, and advertise the film with a purely female focus. "What the (bleep) is that about? They don't list any of the men on the website. He's making millions of dollars but he's not bringing any of the men to any these appearances all over the country like he's bringing the women," Matthews told NBC News. "I appreciate them putting us in the movie but, now, the men are not being represented at all. He has turned his back on us. And the movie, some of it, is hurting us." http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/08/16890167-betrayed-male-rape-victims-slam-oscar-nominated-filmmakers-over-focus-on-women?lite

I'm in the military and they tried to make us watch that 'film' for sexual assault training. I filled a complaint that the film just let any woman with an axe to grind make unfounded accusations about sexual assault in the military especially since 99% of their stories were not backed up with any evidence or convictions. I made a fuss over it not showing the male side of anything and painting it as a female only problem. I received an angry phone call from a superior officer saying I should have addressed it with her and not someone above her first. My bad ... they cancelled showing the film though. At least some people still have some sense in this world.
