When feminists protested to shut down the screening of Silenced, a spanish documentary on male victims of domestic violence.

I have always been mostly indifferent towards feminism. I'm still mostly indifferent, if a shade critical.

Like, sure, women can have their movement, just don't involve me in it, or force me accept what I don't think is real, but the sheer mania I saw in 2012ish of feminists blocking a college for allowing Warren Farrell to speak really tinted it to negative. The subsequent protests have not been much better.

Most feminists don't oppose traditional gender roles, they only oppose the parts that are harmful to women. but they enforce the parts that benefit women at the expense of men. for example they expect men to be protector of women and prioretize women's safety and ignore men's safety. they get angry when we talk about men's rights because it goes against the traditional male role.

The documentary (in Spanish) :

What a load of shit. It would be logical taht they should oppose violence against anyone, not just women.

Yet another example of why men can not be feminists. You can be an ally, but not a true member; they aren't there for you.

A further example: Feminists were very upset that there weren't any women on a feminist conference panel at a mexico university. If men could be feminists, then that is all that should have mattered. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/10/04/mexicos-largest-university-is-hosting-a-conference-on-feminism-with-no-female-panelists/

Fundementally I don't understand their motivation here, what is to be gained for femminism from banning this film?

I'm skeptical of if a feminist would protest this film just to keep the focus of people on the female part of domestic violence stats.

So they're trying to silence "silenced". Nice one

Can’t find any news on this. Where can I learn more?

Thanks to Jordan Peterson, I now understand how those feminists think. Mainly, they are post-modernists who don't believe in objective truth, and they believe that everything is about power, and that we live in a patriarchy, so if a male is a victim (a while male is even worse) he is not a real victim because he is part of a group that is supposedly oppressing other groups.

So it's all about group identity and focusing on power instead of looking at individuals.

Kind of like Kulaks in USSR: we don't care if you suffer, you filthy oppressor who got two cows and a brick house.

But they say feminism is an equal rights ideology....MY ASS.

Radikost · 2020-11-30T13:47:20+00:00

Do they realise they’re basically proving the point of the movie?

Mirroruniversejim · 2020-11-30T09:47:10+00:00

Question about the doc, does it include any discussion of gay or bisexual men

Long-Chair-7825 · 2020-11-30T19:16:03+00:00

The irony. Just...wow.

TheRikari · 2020-11-30T22:21:19+00:00

Feminists trigger over anything male based honestly.

BlackfellasWatch · 2020-11-30T07:51:57+00:00

Gradually, I began to hate them.

Silenciados is Brazilian movie about families of urban violence, not just male victims

This is so common that its almost comical. For example: Pro religious types. Feminists. BLM. KKK. etc.

Most have no interest in equality such as ensuring others aren't subjected to the maltreatment they accuse others of perpetrating on them.

Instead they're only interested in revenge on those others who supposedly committed the maltreatment.

Plot twist: Many in these groups have never actually and personally experienced any maltreatment themselves - hence, they are just out to extract revenge on a group(s) they don't like based on word of mouth from those they do (like).

The movie is titled silenced and it was silenced.

Lui_Le_Diamond · 2020-11-30T19:26:46+00:00

The irony

Hello, I speak Spanish! Here's a (somewhat literal) translation:

[The] Silenced

(When the mistreated are men)

A documentary by Nacho González

Feminism is all about tyranny.

rodrigohernandez4477 · 2020-12-01T09:11:43+00:00

The sheet they used says 38% of DV victims in Spain are male. But who helps those men, which institution, charity, activism group, police, legal system or society? Practically zero of that. Females, on the other hand, have an army of help of all those things whenever they need it.

Also, when boys and men are 3 times less likely to report it, if abused by a female, and women are 2 times less likely to be convicted than men on average, in case of an allegation, we have a distortion of the stats of domestic violence.

raisedbywugs · 2020-12-03T15:38:04+00:00

Saw a similar headline a couple of weeks ago. The problem wasn't what they wanted to show, it was the fact that a hate group had organised it. I'm not saying this is definitely what happens here, but I tend to be careful when it comes to polemic news...

liltotto · 2021-01-02T17:14:29+00:00

I don't get what these 'egalitarians' think this sort of shit proves. Why would they want women to be viewed as the primary victims of domestic violence? The reality is is that these scumbags view women as weak compared to men. They support the paradigms they claim to oppose when it benefits them. They are not egalitarians, they are supremacists.

Plato_the_Platypus · 2020-11-30T08:51:40+00:00

Pretty sure these men also victims of the Patriarchy and gender roles. What good for feminism ideal to silencing them?
