the red pill 2016
(documentary)
Why is it that no one
raises the question as to why males overwhelmingly dominate the number of combat casualties, suicides and workplace
deaths? Why are men so discriminated
against in matters like alimony, child custody and paternity fraud? The world
seems to have accepted that women being considered as sex objects is the reason
behind their plight, yet why is it not ever mentioned how much pressure does it
put on men to be assumed as success objects and provider of families?
Present man, guilt-ridden, forcibly indoctrinated by decades of aggressive feminist propaganda
not even dare to speak up. Sensitive and considerate women of the age have been silenced by the fear of being branded as slaves of males. Women are being discriminated against, there is no gainsaying the fact, but the corrective lies in not stifling
the debate or branding all men as exploiters. The narrative cannot be built around women versus men. This cannot be
understood as a zero-sum game. Trump exploited the anguish of white working-class men. There might even be a
hidden message there. But liberals, feminists and leftists (with lots of overlapping in these categories) have already pooh-poohed the verdict. It's being
dubbed a mistake, not a cry for help. It's being portrayed as the innate fascism of white America, not a just bid for attention. Feminists, along with
LGBTQ activists, across the world have made it difficult for MRAs (men rights
activists) to voice their opinion and give lectures. Even this documentary faced
a lot of protests. This is no longer an equal world. Male activists are routinely
hounded out and discriminated against.
The documentary
interviews MRAs like Paul Elam (A Voice for Men), Warren Ferrel (author of the Myth
of male power) and others and makes a case for at least listening to the Male viewpoint. The
feminists obviously want no discussion on all this. The director Cassie Jaye
makes a compelling case here. Everyone should get a pedestal for expression of a
counter view. Why should MRAs be any different?
One male viewpoint set
me thinking. He says prostate cancer is as much an epidemic as breast cancer
is, and yet the funding for the former pales in front of the latter. Are men considered
expendable by society? And yet the counter by a feminist is equally convincing. If men face as much problems as do women, then funding for men related
causes should go up. Why should MRAs resent
the funding for female causes? It's not a zero-sum game, is it? Why do they
write blogs titled like Bash a Violent Bitch Month? MRAs are also certainly
biased after years of being the game.
This is a compelling topic. Everyone knows what family courts in the US and the personal laws (with
NBOs) in India have done. The implementation of dowry rules, rape laws and
molestation related clauses have caused severe male distress in India. Yet at
the same time, the real female victims have mostly been denied any semblance of substantive
justice. A lot remains to be done. One can start by at least acknowledging that
problems exist at all levels. No issue should be brushed under the carpet.
