I’ve rewatched this documentary recently after not seeing it for some years. This documentary is one of the few that take a sympathetic plight to the issues that men face, where Cassie is eager to understand rather than demonise those who she filmed, which many TV programmes over the years have done. I feel this documentary was a premonition to what we see today, especially in the trans activist movement, where facts and opinions on gendered issues are trumped by the feelings and need for validation by a select few.

I initially watched this on YouTube, having heard about it from some friends (both male and female). Having watched it for free I felt that Cassie Jaye explored some interesting ideas and made a brilliant documentary, for that reason I came on iTunes and bought the documentary; whether you agree or disagree with a Cassie, her work deserves recognition and reward.

If you want some clarity as to why you might feel conflicted on many social gender subjects but don’t know why, watch this film documentary. This has changed many feminists views and if you have the same then be prepared that with an open mind you will be sucked out of the feminist echo chamber at a great velocity and be welcomed back to reality with open arms.

This doc will change your life, and the way you look at society around you. It’s deep and brilliant stuff.

The is about an open minded feminist who evolves from women rights into full equality... Human Rights.

The Red Pill is a landmark moment in the discussion of men's rights, or more specifically, feminism's demonisation of the men's rights movement. The root of the issue is summed up perfectly by Karen Straughn, when she said that feminism deliberately used a male word 'patriarchy' to sum up and embody all the negatives - that the ultimate 'baddie' is men. The magic bullet however is 'feminism', ergo women - the one and only thing that can achieve the ultimate victory against the ultimate baddie.

If you are a card-carrying committed feminist, I urge you to watch this film - I accept it will be difficult for you, but in order to be truly objective, you HAVE to set aside your prejudice. Hear Cassie Jaye out, that's all she asks. Hear what the men's rights movement has to say without prejudice and you may discover that they have a lot of very cogent arguents and that what they want is the same thing you want - an end to sexism, discrimination and injustice. But because they speak against the sexism, discrimination and injustice that men face, and not women, feminists regard them as a 'hate movement'. Well, feminists, if you have the guts to step out of your comfort zone, watch The Red Pill and prepare to have your cosy world rocked to its very foundations when you discover that the men's rights activists you despise so much are really not the problem, and that if feminists and MRA's worked TOGETHER, then maybe we can actually get somewhere!

This film attempts to bridge two seemingly contradictory social movements, but unfortunately fails to do so. Rather than creating a dialogue, it continues portraying the feminist and the men's rights movement as at odds with each other, without going beyond the gender issues that affect men and women both, but in different ways.

There is no critique of neoliberal capitalism - the system that is responsible for job precarity, austerity measures, increasing erning disparity, unemployment, homelessness, etc. It also fails to acknowledge the intersecting pattern of inequality that affect people, in terms of race, sexuality, class, (dis)ability, nationality, etc. Lastly, it constructs feminism as a monolithic movement, while much literature has moved beyond the male/female binary, and effectively tackled issues of masculinity and its intersections with other axes of difference.

To conclude, while I applaud the director for attempting to tackle such difficult topic, I think this film is counterproductive for the creation a dialogue between people who might find a common ground, if encouraged.

If you wish to listen to issues that effect men, as opposed to hard core feminsts telling you that you are not even allowed hear what's being said. Then check this out.

It's not Anti Women

It's has not got any misogynist's in it.

It is just raising the point that the World is not how the feminist movement, MSM,and society has forced upon us all.

The movie is just saying we all deserve a voice, not just Women, real equality. Not the Men are bad, Women are Angles rubbish.

Finally! It's about time the cult of feminism was exposed. I too have grown up with the myth of patriarchy and being made to feel ashamed to be a man. I too was beaten by a girl and told I could not do anything about it. I too have lost a job to women even though I was more qualified.

Feminism is not about equality. It's about seeking to gain superior rights by equalising society through its own lens of disparity. That lens is biased and in actual fact whilst there are benefits and burdens on both sides, we actually are closer to living in a matriarchy not a patriarchy as all law and legislation favours women not men. From car insurance prices, to custody of children, to shorter prison sentences for same crime. The list of female preferential treatment is endless.

This documentary shows the toxic movement that is feminism and how it captures innocent women like Cassie.And it shows the silencing and shaming of men. But with a little bit of logic and discernment, the feminism quasi-religion can be picked apart with relative ease.

Imagine having a daughter and a son and they have a fight one day. So as a parent you try and deal with the situation in an equal way and impart "daughterism" to resolve it. Anyone with their eyes open could see that's biased And one sided. Yet grown adults cannot see the harm feminism is doing to society.

Well done to Cassie for a balanced and fair documentary which is will go a long way to helping society to progress.

5 stars

This film is a really fantastic piece of work. I think it highlights some extremely important issues and will challenge the view points of many who take the time to view it - as long as they are open minded enough!

Despite what you might have heard from groups or individuals attacking the film and it's creator - Cassie Jaye represents both sides fairly, she doesn't hate feminists, she doesn't love MRAs, she portrays a balanced line trying to learn from both parties. As her own opinions change over the course of the film, she continues delivering a balanced documentary.

Very impressed and has made me want to learn more about issues faced by both genders. I hope others watch this and feel a similar need to find ones own answers rather than being force-fed opinions from almost religious ideologues

The Red Pill is a thought provoking documentary. Cassie Jaye was a self confessed feminist at the outset, and presumably decided to make a film on mens rights activists to expose them for what they are. Far from the misogynistic, woman beating, rape apologists that she may have been expecting, she found level headed individuals who were actually able to argue some interesting and valid points.

The film is largely based on a series of interviews carried out by Jaye. The interviewees range from leading figures in the broad "mens rights movement" to feminist gender studies professors, to radical feminists themselves. The feminists shown do not come across well, entirely dismissing issues like domestic violence by women on men. Some even make a joke of that issue. The foul mouthed "Big Red" who features in the documentary is perhaps a bad example of a radical feminist, being barely able to string a sentence together without using an expletive, and obviously of low intellect. Experience shows that she is not atypical though.

It's interesting that this film has been the subject of radical feminist protests, and some screenings had to be abandoned, on the basis that it "encourages violence". This is utter nonsense, but sadly typical of a movement which cannot tolerate alternative views being aired, and aims to shut down dissenting opinion by categorising it as "hate speech". The only thing this film encourages is to think again about MRA's and perhaps feminists.

As a sociology graduate I often felt uncomfortable with the attitudes of my feminist lecturers towards men and their complete lack of representation of men's issues, we were encouraged to change and be ashamed of our masculinity. This documentary is a perfect summary of a lot of research I have been doing since leaving university and shines a light on the horrors of current feminist discourse regarding men, this is discourse that almost completely dominates media, academia and politics which is destroying many young men's sense of self and resulting in submission or rage.

It's important that films like this be seen so that many of the men who like me felt completely alone and uncared for know that they are not alone.

Propaganda film of the men's rights movement. Has a clear agenda to demonise feminists, presenting bias information and statistics. Can barely be called a documentary.

Amazing film with some very interesting insites and a good view of both sides. Leaves you with so many questions and really wanting to know more at the end, especialy when there are so many things you know she looked deep into and only skimmed the surface of in the documentory and so many interviews she left out. I would probably be willing to buy it again to get an extended edition.

Paradigm shifting data and realizations abound in this extraordinary documentary capturing the zeitgeist of the men's rights movement in the modern era. Time to take the read pill and see how far down this rabbit hole goes. Watching Cassie confront her own cognitive dissonance as she progressed through the interviews of a fair spread of the views from various perspectives of academics MRAs and feminists revealed a woman of the very highest integrity. If Invictus is being shown to kids at school across the UK, [and I see no reason it should not] this very pertinent snapshot of equality history and the current debate ‘The Red Pill’ should definitely be required study as part of the UK curriculum. Outstanding!

For anybody interested in gender equality, this film is life changing. Regardless of anything negative you may have heard about this movie, there is only love and respect for men and women within it.

Cassie is a brave film maker and has been unfairly smeared for making this documentary. It offers an unbiased, honest examination of MRAs, the Feminist movement and whether or not voices advocating issues surrounding mens/boys issues are being silenced. As a parent of two young boys, I found some of it profoundly disturbing.

Really interesting and thought provoking film. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. I think this is a groundbreaking, significant and important documentary.

I found watching this film profoundly moving and, at times, overwhelming. It's the first time I've seen the many issues raised here tackled in a genuinely honest and balanced manner.

Cassie Jaye is to be commended.

This documentary film truly makes you think and question the way you have always looked at things.

I've always considered myself a feminist, yet only by the traditional definition. Equality amongst genders.

This film points out the exact reason that I don't feel comfortable labelling myself as a feminist in modern society. As nowadays 'the man' is the enemy.

I sincerely hope that this film makes it out to as many people as possible as a way to convey men's issues in a way that may be understood by people who are to stubborn to see them by themselves.

Excellent cinematography and a great musical score gave this documentary an amazing sense of quality.

5*s

I just finished watching 'The Red Pill'. It's about a feminist who wanted to explore the world of Men's rights and interview activists. Now don't get me wrong, I'm skeptical of both Feminism and MRA's (even now), but it was a REALLY good documentary and I highly recommend it! Especially to anyone who is interested in gender politics.

The conclusion is important, that both Men and Women can be discriminated against, in plenty of different ways, and that discussion should always be open between the groups. New age Feminism (extreme) is guilty of mob mentality and silencing opposition, and for them to be taken seriously again, they have to stop committing hateful and objectifying actions. That was my conclusion anyhow, if you ever get a chance to watch it, it's well worth the two hours invested.
