I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Watched this entire thing in full,This doesn't deserve to be called a documentary. It may as well be a nothing more than a propaganda piece for the MRM. Do not waste your time on it. If you decide to watch it make sure you actively research every person interviewed to understand exactly who they are.Just 1 example: Paul Elam, a deadbeat father who openly has stated he would never vote to convict if serving on a rape jury. It goes downhill from there rapidly.If these specimens are what today's American society considers men, I'm ashamed to be one.

Somehow this woman managed not to interview a single person who actually knows and understands what feminism is. They present every feminist as being a radical feminist, not actual feminists, and fail to address how all the serious issues covered in this film would benefit from feminism. Father's being overlooked as caregivers equal in parenting rights: feminism will help with that. Male abuse and sexual assault: feminism would aid in demolishing the stigma that these are not real issues deserving of attention. Failing to see men as capable of providing emotional support, as well as experiencing all the emotions women are free to openly express: feminism would change that. This "documentary" presents feminism as being synonymous with "anti men" or "women are better than men" when actual feminism is about equal rights for both men and women. "FEMINIST fem-uh-nistadjective Sometimes fem-i-nis-tic. 1. advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men.noun 1. an advocate of such rights." -Dictionarycom Feminism is equality, not superiority. Both women AND men would benefit from a feminist society.

First off I wanted to state that I am a male and I thought this film was a huge waste of time. It is a documentary about a bunch of whiny men with no real journalistic integrity.First I never got a sense of what male activists actually wanted to achieve; yes they stand up and shout that men are actually the ones being discriminated against while women have all the advantages. Unfortunately, these activists aren't doing anything about the actual issues - nothing was presented in the documentary.The movie notes the high level of abuse against husbands so why are these men not creating public service announcements, paying for posters and billboards. They could have a really great slogan - domestic violence doesn't see gender. The men lament the lack of services for them like there is only one men's shelter in the entire country. Most shelters are run by non-profit organizations. So instead of whiny why don't they get together, create a society and apply for government grants. The journalist didn't bother to answer these questions.Instead of being active all they do is sit in front of audiences saying how they are getting a raw deal in society. However, what women have found out is that society won't change until you change.The bit that really got me was the idea that men are scarifying themselves. A bunch of stats like work-place accidents, war combat deaths were presented in the film. However what is never mentioned is that women were never allowed in combat positions. For example: it wasn't until 2012 that women were allowed to serve in a submarine. Men are involved in more work place accidents because women were never hired in these jobs like firefighter, police officer, lumberjack, miner. A little bit of objectivity from Ms Jaye would have been nice.Yes there are some issues that needs to be addressed in society like a man's role in the family and the growing threat of domestic violence but that doesn't mean we should stop supporting women in their battle for equality.
