tl;dr "I haven't seen the film, but here's EVERYTHING wrong with it and here's how it promotes rape... oh, and MRAs are women hating MGTOW who want their wives back in the kitchen and PUAs who want to derail FGM by banning circumcision (which is OK because reasons) and Paul Elam said a bad word once (or so I've been told) and hurt my fee-fees."

Just had a quick look. So many people discussing a film they haven't seen :-)

Wow, that site is full of total morons...... One comment that wasn't completely misinformed in the whole first page

I haven't watched the film yet, but certainly will at some point. I view myself both as a feminist, and, though not a mens' rights activist, someone who is aware of, and who cares about mens rights issues and the issues that affect men specifically. I think your conclusions are broadly correct.

There is a certain arrogance about some feminists, and even main-stream feminism, in its dismissals of mens' rights issues and mens' rights activists. The notion that feminism can fix those issues strikes me as somewhat gross, both because feminism rarely discusses those topics, and because, while feminists no doubt have plenty of useful ideas on how to solve these gender specific issues, they do not have any right to a hegemony over them. The worst thing is that, in a lot of cases, the alienation and demonisation of people in mens rights plays into the hands of the truly despicable, alt-right brigade. By not allowing men to have a legitimate outlet to talk about their issues outside of feminism, feminists, at times, become everything they are supposed to hate. Sadly, I have seen quite a few instances of this behaviour here on GAF.

There's one relatively public instance in UK politics which illustrates precisely the problem. A Labour MP named Jess Phillips was filmed laughing at another MPs suggestion that there should be a debate on men's right, held on International Men's Day, to mimic the debate on women's rights that is held on International Women's Day. The MP making the proposal is, frankly, a rather nasty piece of work called Phillip Davies. Yet, in acting so dismissive of a perfectly reasonable request, who does she actually serve? Not men, and certainly not feminism. She serves the brigade of people who want to act like feminists are Nazis.

(Just read some of the responses in this thread. Sigh. This is precisely what I'm talking about.)

Finished reading the whole thread, I think there are two people in the whole thread that aren't lost causes to the cult. Sad. Was funny how the people in the "I didn't watch" camp assume the feminists interviewd were the ones on the fringe of feminism, hahaha. No one responded to the one guy who posted links to who was actually interviewed.

Sorry about the retard remark, changed it to moron. I try not to use retard as an insult.

That thread is some serious cancer right there.

It's good to see people talking, even the dismissive ones.

Their minds may be closed to men's issues now . . . and the next time, and the next time. But over the course of years, it is possible to chip away at bigoted beliefs.

All these expert opinions on the red pill subreddit's MRA credentials and not one of them mentions this place.

Convenient.

There are a lot of bitter women on that forum, lmao.

Neogaf is insufferable. They have an entire thread dedicated to "Troupes vs. Women" praising Anita Sarkeesian's perceived and over-embellished grievances in the video game industry.

Not a frequenter to the site, Simply popped up in my feed. Thought the review was interesting enough, though was unfortunately not surprised to see how quickly the thread was reduced to name calling and dismissal.
