A highly confronting watch that challenged my viewpoint. The most interesting part is after watching a documentary on the Men's Rights advocates is telling someone about it and gauging their response which has been formed by populist media narratives.
It's very one-sided propaganda. Funded by MRA and 95% of MRA ideas, views, opinions, and stories go unchallenged.
Males don't have autism more often than females, but research and bias has made it so it's been wrongly believed as such because females often present differently than males because of both biological and social influences. Testing is still done based on male-based research when diagnosing females. If you're going to complain about inequality don't use information that is very wrong and is actually inequality in the other direction.
Men complete suicide more often than women because they choose more violent methods, like guns. Women attempt suicide at a much higher rate than men complete it, though.
These are just a couple of parts of this endless misinformation.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this at first. A film about gender politics and the Mens Rights Activist group going head-to-head with Feminism seemed, well, boring and bad. I was so wrong. This film digs deep and peels away at the hidden, and highly misunderstood, layers of how not only women and men both view each other, but the societal impact it has had and the problems it continues to propel. I was left in this sense of heart broken awe that I've never experienced before. This is NOT a film about the MRA. This is a film about Gender Politics and the problems that have arisen because of those political debates. This needs to be shared and watched with as a many people as possible. We have so many issues to work though in this world, and if we can't even learn how to work together in the most basic and fundamental ways, then I feel that we are ultimately doomed as a species and as a whole.

I was told to watch this, so I had an idea of what to expect, but it went beyond my expectations.
This is what I have felt for such a long time, gender equality should focus on all gender issues for women, men and even those who don't identify as either.
It's a very good documentary and I will be following Cassie Jaye's carreer for sure.
We need more like this, documentaries that try to view the issue from all sides, pushing us to think for ourselves and do a bit of research instead of following the media without questioning.
