The pseudo-feminists in The Red Pill are not concerned about women or equality or justice. They are concerned about power and nothing else.
Yes, I found it kind of amazing that way. Feminists hate men. It's like they found themselves trapped in female bodies, and blame men for that fact of biology.
Feminists hate men.
It all depends on what you mean by the word "feminist". There is no one in the MRM in the Red Pill film that doesn't believe in equality under law. In fact, that's what they are fighting for. Essentially, it's the same them that the early 20th century feminists were fighting for. And given the examples of women who support the MRM, the "honey-badgers", you could say that the real feminists, those like the originals, are actively engage in the core of MRM today.
But there is a nasty, morally bankrupt group of men and women who call themselves feminists but have no relation to the early 20th century movement and completely reject the idea of equality and cooperation. This group really does hate men. Even the men in this group hate most men. It's sick. I hate to associate them with the term they corrupted because clearly they would roast the early 20th century feminists at the stake if they could. They may pay lip service to those women for the sake of stealing their credibility and honor, but the modern incarnation has nothing to do with the original movement.
The real spiritual successors of Susan B. Anthony and the other feminists are the women who are working in the MRM like Erin Pizzey. I have no doubt that S.B. Anthony would admire and like Pizzey and despise Katherine Spillar, the editor of Ms. Magazine. What a morally repugnant excuse for a human being Spillar is. She has absolutely no empathy for other people. Pizzey has great empathy and it's inspiring.
Here's another interesting video I stumbled on. This woman is both funny -- at least when I got her references (it's very British) -- and intelligent. She has a very sharp, British wit.
Marriage is a legal contract between you and the state in which you agree to get financially ass raped at a later date.
I don't want Elizabeth Warren working on "equal pay". The only way to ensure equality of pay for equal work is to, by definition, abandon capitalism, and that's not going to happen any time soon. Capitalism means the owners decide what you get paid. Equal pay for equal work means the owners do not decide what you get paid. X and not X are mutually exclusive positions. I hope I don't have to explain this to anyone.
I want Elizabeth Warren working on reforming the laws governing the financial industry, which is basically organized crime at this point. That's the most important thing she can do for us. I don't want her distracted by anything else.
Feminism is when old, ugly, psycho lesbians convince young, attractive, spoiled, bitchy, entitled women that they are lesbian, too!
One wonders if those who encourage women to put career ahead of family know damn well they'll hit the wall, and it's like either their revenge fantasy against younger, hotter women, or family in general.
OMG. These interviewers haven't even taken the tiny bit of time to watch the film despite being given a link to watch it for free even though they could have bought a viewing for $3, less than a Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Yet they have the gall to assume that it's all a bunch of woman-hating, despite being told the exact opposite. And when questioning if various subjects were covered in the film, they were told a resounding yes.
Still, they want to make a documentary they haven't even seen look like evil propaganda. These dimwits should be fired. Regardless of your politics, this is just plain bad interviewing and reporting. And their bigotry just destroys any credibility they would otherwise have.
I just finished watching it. You can catch it on torrent now.
The only reason to protest this film is if you are evil and hateful. There was nothing untruthful in the film, even the stuff that surprised me can be easily verified. Nor were any of the male or female men's right's activists at all woman hating, spiteful, vengeful, or unreasonable. In fact, the only hateful and malicious speech came from the self-claimed feminists -- although I'd call them pseudo-feminists.
The two main things I got from the documentary were...
1. Male life is shockingly devalued in our society and across the world.
2. Those who have criticized the men's right's movement have wholesale adopted an us vs. them attitude.
The opposition sees male-female relations as a zero-sum game. The only way for women to win is for men to lose. This is the antithesis of the original, and real, feminists of the 1910s. To them, women's rights helped both men and women, and vice versa. A husband's interests is served when he knows that his wife and children can own his property if he dies unexpectedly. A woman's interest is served if she knows her husband won't die at work because worker safety laws have been passed. Cooperation was key for the real feminists of the early 20th century. The pseudo-feminists in The Red Pill are not concerned about women or equality or justice. They are concerned about power and nothing else.
I was particularly impressed with Erin Pizzey. She seems like a dedicated, rational, and effective helper of the needy regardless of gender. She also seems very honest and objective.
