cheshireinthemiddle:onemv:safety–not–guaranteed:weatherman667:concentrated-sunshine:@listener-blue we should watch this at some point.Paul Elam (et al.) warned her that if she did a neutral reporting on the Men’s Human Rights Movement, it would be the last movie she ever made, as she would effectively be blackballed from any other funding sources. Feminist groups offered to fund the movie as they had with everything else she had done, but only if they had rote censorship over every aspect of the movie. Since the movie Cassie Jaye was given up being a Feminist, because, in her words, the actions of other Feminists. She had a massive smear campaign by basically every mainstream media outlet in the Western and had riots break out at her screenings, with many venues pulling out at the last minute.This is what Cassie Jaye did to make this movie, and we should all have eternal gratitude to her for having the balls to go against everyone to report on it neutrally.To be fair that’s only 7 reviewsThat’s actually part of the problem. The documentary got a lot media attention. Cassie did a lot of media appearances and interviews to promote the film. Major media outlets were covering the controversy of people protesting the film and trying to ban it. It was the number one documentary on nearly every platform it was available. But only 7 critics reviewed it. It was deliberately ignored, and most of the few who did review it, had an agenda. She had interviews with people who admitted to never watching her movie (despite her sending the movie to them to watch for free), but were apparently convinced that it was nothing but misogyny. -- source link
