The Red Pill (Film): Difference between revisions

'''— Cassie Jaye'''

 

 

The idea of the film began as a criticism of the Men's Rights Movement, as Jaye was a feminist who considered the Men's Rights Movement to be a hate movement. Another factor in the making of the film was Jaye seeking to find out why people who claimed not to be misogynists supported Men's Rights, especially since the producers she approach only agreed to fund the documentary on the condition that it was given a pro-feminism bias. Over the course of a year, Jaye did numerous interviews and research, which was complied and edited into this film. As a result of this, the film is a chronicle of her journey into the origins and motives of true Men's Rights activism and equality through a male lens to the world.

There has been criticism of the film, as in some ways it is framed to suggest that Jaye, an oft-typecasted "Dumb Blonde" in her previous short-lived acting career, is denouncing feminism. However, it is a personal story of a personal journey and can be given validity as such. The documentary largely focuses on the societal double standards around legal recourse for men as "masculine" compared to women: both standards and media representation of marriage and childcare, rape and abuse, appropriate jobs and workplace conditions.
