    "Cassie Jaye’s men, and by association the filmmaker herself, are not serving a greater good or inspiring discourse, but instead fuelling a social divide and dishonouring their respective genders..."

    <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lets get this out of the way. First things first, <i><b>THE BAD</b></i>: It's a shame that Men's Rights have to be validated through the lens of a <i><b>feminist's</b></i> perspective in order to be taken seriously, <i>BUT</i>, at the same time that's the Documentary's strongest point.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Men's voices are not being heard.

    As a documentary, it's pretty bad; there's little skill involved. As a primer on gender theory beyond feminism, it's alright; it gets the broad strokes right but fumbles the details and muddles the thesis somewhat. If it weren't the only documentary to tackle this topic, I'd rate it lower, but it gets a bonus point for its originality and guts. It's worth a watch if you care about human rights and equality.

But, most importantly, it sheds light on gender discrimination against male. An issue which is always overlooked. It is accompanied with modestly nice graphics for a documentary.

    It seems like most of the 1 star reviews on IMDb, from reading through this, didn't actually watch the film. Most of what they claim aren't present in the film at all, they are assumptions of what the MRA is and not what is stated in the documentary. And then there are entire reviews about thing that aren't even a part of the documentary. So clearly this is polarizing, but I haven't seen polarization where i…
