Review of The Red Pill (2016) by Sebastien V — 08 Mar 2017

I was nervous as one of the original Kickstarter backers given how often coverage of the MRM is biased, to put it nicely. I wasn't sure this would be a fair look at the movement, but it turns out this documentary is a fair, if surface level, investigation. Paul Elam is right. Articulating the entire platform of the MRM is like trying to understand a snow drift "one snowflake at a time." The issues are extremely complicated and often interconnected and that's without delving into the history of chivalric and feminist bias against men. Given the breadth and depth of the issues at hand, I have to commend how well the issues were articulated in only two hours. I also hope that Cassie's personal story of learning about these issues can help others examine their own ideas about what the MRM stands for, perhaps even seeing it in a new light. I'm very happy to have been able to support the creation of this documentary.

(For those interested in the topic of circumcision, which is briefly discussed in The Red Pill, look up the coming documentary "American Circumcision").
