Men’s Rights Activists Save Feminist’s Film

Cassie Jaye is a filmmaker who describes herself as a lifelong feminist. She set out to make a documentary exploring why there would be a need for groups such as the Men’s Rights Activists in a world full of men. She seems to quickly discover the obvious fact: Feminism’s entire goal has not been to just uplift the feminine virtues in society but to destroy the masculine, stamp it out, label it unneeded, antiquated, less evolved, and abusive, and they’ve been doing a great job of that for 60 years. The only problem is…

Cassie decided not to take investment money from groups on either side of the equation as to validate her mission to create a non-biased take on these issues of Gender Politics. And because she was taking a truthful look at feminism rather than a glorified look, her “grants and funding were withdrawn and institutional support revoked.” Jaye decided to place her fate in Kickstarter with the hopes of crowd-funding the remaining costs of the film but was soon faced with the possibility of shutting it down because the money wasn’t coming in. That’s when Breitbart News and the MRA’s stepped in to save the day.

​Via Vocativ.com:

“Breitbart had just published a piece about the fundraising effort, claiming that the film was imperiled as a result of Jaye interrogating her feminist beliefs. All of a sudden, MRAs and other inhabitants of the anti-feminist “manosphere,” were urging support across social media. The subreddit The Red Pill, which is not considered an MRA community, although it uses much of the same language, joined in the fundraising push as well.

During an interview with Vocativ in a picturesque park in her hometown of Marin, Calif., the next afternoon, Jaye checked her Kickstarter page on her iPhone. “Oh, what, oh my God, we just made it!” she squealed. “Oh my God, really?!” Just then the fundraising total jumped by another thousand dollars. “I can’t believe it,” she said, and wiped away a tear. “We can actually make this now!”

Jaye explained in her Kickstarter plea video that she refused to accept funding from ideologically-driven organizations in order to keep the film “non-partisan”—but now her documentary on men’s rights activists is, as she puts it, “kind of being funded by men’s rights advocates.” She denies that this will change the message of the film, which will mostly consist of interviews with MRAs, as well as a few feminists, and video diaries capturing her “transformation.” “The story is done, I’m not going to reenact a different story,” she said.”

There’s still a few days left on the Kickstarter page for funds to come in: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cassiejaye/the-red-pill-a-documentary-film

So far they’ve raised over 151,000 and will most certainly complete the project.
