bad guys.Īnd MRAs argue that feminism makes us all victims. This ideology pits us against one another. They positive force (Feminism) is named for the other. The evil force (Patriarchy) is to be named after one segment of society men. In making this movie, Jaye takes the red pill.ĭoing so forces her to question in a new way the narrative of the ever present “patriarchy”, the invisible force in society that allows men to thrive as oppressors while women walk through life as the oppressed.

In the movie the Matrix, Neo comes to a place where he is offered a choice of two pills: a blue one, which will allow him to essentially go back to sleep oblivious to the real world around him and a red one, which will produce deep discomfort by comparison, but will allow him to see things in their true light. Is raising awareness to the injustices faced by men tantamount to attacking the rights of women?Īnd this is where the title of the documentary comes in. Unless they are looking at things with a lens that distorts the real state of things.

Is raising awareness to the injustices faced by men tantamount to attacking the rights of women? I don’t see how anyone can seriously conclude that. men's value being reduced to their ability to be productive.

men serve 60% more prison time than women for the same crime.men are equally likely to be the victims of domestic violence, but there are virtually no shelters for men and their children leaving an abusive spouse.when marriages break up, fathers are at a significant disadvantage to receiving custody of their children.men are vastly less likely to finish high school and go to college.men are vastly more likely to be homeless than women.Where they are portrayed by feminists as trying to “roll back the clock” on gains made by women, what she finds is that they are rather giving voice to the many challenges and disadvantages faced by men today. Jaye, who at the start of filming identified as a feminist (and has previously created documentaries sympathetic to LGBT issues) finds herself challenged by the perspectives voiced by MRAs. The film by director Cassie Jaye explores the growth of MRAs, or Men's Rights Advocates. I happened across a documentary called The Red Pill that was stirring controversy.
