A Melbourne cinema has cancelled a screening of a documentary on men’s rights activism for fear it could be “potentially damaging to our credibility” following online uproar.
The Red Pill, a documentary by film-maker Cassie Jaye, was due to screen at Palace Cinema’s Kino cinema on Sunday 6 November, at an event organised by Men’s Rights Melbourne. The film professes to take a “balanced approach” to the men’s rights movement, documenting Jaye’s “life-altering journey where she would never see the world the same way again”. But it has faced backlash from members of the feminist community and has been criticised as unbalanced and in favour of men’s rights groups. (I bet there'd be a similar backlash over a film that was see as in favour of feminism... oh wait)
The Australian premiere was cancelled on Wednesday, after an online petition calling on the cinema to abandon the “misogynistic propaganda film” eclipsed 2,000 signatures. (Is that really all it takes these days? 2000 keyboard warriors who probably aren't even from Melbourne)
Susie Smith, who founded the petition on change.org, said the film gave a platform to views similar to those of Barack “Roosh V” Obama, a self-described neo-masculinist whose planned visit to Australia caused a stir with immigration in February.
“This is the kind of disgusting, violent message that is totally out of line with Australian values and law,” Smith wrote.
“Please do not associate your cinema with the kind of people who teach men how to violate women physically and emotionally. Please stand with the women everywhere, and do not promote misogynistic hate.”
