The Red Pill

I watched it and so did my wife. I thought it was a well balanced documentary. I’m sure feminists are not going to like it. My wife loved it

I would also recommend the book “The Boy Crisis”

I backed it with $5 when the crowdfunder was up and I thought it was a very good introduction to the men's rights movement. I think though it left a lot out like the gamergate movement which whether people like it or not does intertwine with MRAs because both groups are very much at war with feminists.

That's all very detailed though and she was on a budget, so it's not like she could do documentaries on absolutely everything.

I really enjoyed it and recommend everyone to watch it. She has a variety of voices and lets them speak for themselves.

I wish it was longer and went deeper into some issues like male genital mutilation that were only briefly touched upon, but I understand her need to keep it to a certain length.

It is also worth checking out her YouTube channel to see the uncut interviews.

I am fairly sure that 90% of the community has seen that movie now.

Personally, I find that it was a good movie, but it had three major flaws:

It focused too much on Paul Elam. Elam is one of the worst big MRAs, and it is tiring to see him held up as an example of MRAs time and time again.
It was very feminist-negative. I know a lot of MRAs are antifeminist, but it is like Cassie did not even try to find a feminist who cared about men's issues. The few feminists she interviewed were either incompetent (Spillar) or hostile (Chanty Binx/Big Red).
Cassie makes no attempt to even try to find examples of MRAs behaving badly. I know that it would take away from the whole "MRAs are not actually evil" thing, but the fact that Cassie sets out to "expose" MRAs but does not show any examples of MRAs behaving poorly (IE the Occidental College event) is rather suspicious, and can make it seem like an MRA propoganda piece to those who are on the fence.

Overall good, but
