MEETING THE ENEMY A feminist comes to terms with the Men's Rights movement | Cassie Jaye | TEDxMarin

By facing long-held assumptions, one woman reevaluates her own gender biases. Documentary Filmmaker, The Red Pill
Cassie Jaye founded Jaye Bird Productions in 2008, which has since produced a collection of documentary films that have been praised for being thought-provoking, entertaining and respectful in representing multiple competing views within each film. Jaye is known for tackling complex and often controversial subject matters. Her latest film is The Red Pill. Prior to “The Red Pill”, Jaye’s most notable films were the award winning feature documentaries “Daddy I Do” (which examined the Abstinence-Only Movement versus Comprehensive Sex Education) and “The Right to Love: An American Family” (which followed one family’s activism fighting for same-sex marriage rights in California). Both films showed that Jaye’s interview style is to allow people to share their views honestly, openly and candidly while allowing audiences to come to their own conclusions.

When someone admits they’re wrong or are able to see the other persons point , they earn my full respect

[@boxscorestuffer6217]

Same here

[@Maribro4]

Agreed. People today are either too self righteous and won’t admit when they’re wrong even if they know it because they’re too proud, or they’re scared to admit they’re wrong because they’re taught that when someone is wrong they’re bad because being wrong is bad. There is nothing bad about being wrong, no one is perfect and we all make mistakes and are wrong about something. We need to spread that message more because it shouldn’t be such a rare thing to see people openly accept and admit they were wrong. I will always respect people who admit when they’re wrong or are able to see the other person’s point, i just wish it was more common

The part about “wrongly accused” so rung a bell for me. Not often, but several times during my career. I saw how men and women claiming domestic violence victimhood were significantly treated differently. I will share the one that sticks in my crawl, the most, even after all these decades. As a Police Officer ( now retired) in a metro of nearly 200K pop at the time, I took & investigated a complaint of Domestic Violence-Related Kidnapping. The complainant gave a verbal and written account of how her ex-husband used the presence of wanting to work some things out, held her hostage and in fear of her life for hours until they happened to stop for a traffic signal near her mom’s house. There she claimed to have jumped out of the car and fled to Mom’s house. She gave vague times and locations (citing mental trauma) but an intimately detailed description of their clothes and car. Because of how our State & local laws & policies were written I was either to locate the subject & interview him (as in -functionally- locate & communicate with him within about half an hour), or put out an Apprehension Request on him (essentially jail him until either I or a Judge spoke to him). Even if I communicated with him, if there was even a reasonable possibility that the complainant was correct, he would still be jailed. I actually found him at home about 10 minutes after I finished speaking with the complainant. He was cooperative and came with me to the department for questioning. His account paralleled that of the complainant with significant differences. He gave very specific location and time information of their whereabouts for the evening and question. He stated that she had wanted to celebrate his birthday by going out that evening. He further said the night ended nicely with her, giving him a kiss goodbye in the car, getting out, and then actually running down the block as he left… To give him one more good night kiss through his driver window. I knew the locations given, and all were known to have excellent video security elements. Within 48 hours, I had obtained five, good quality to excellent quality video accounts of what occurred that evening evening - including (miraculously) an owner voluntarily submitted ring, doorbell, video of the , Chase and second good night kiss. In contacting the complainant back for a secondary interview, she double downed on her account, claiming that he had actually choked her in the car just before she jumped out and escaped. When I completed the investigation, I referred the complainant to the district attorneys office For two counts of filing a false police report, and one count of obstructing an officer (because the video evidence completely exonerated the subject, and completely contradicted the complaints story). The end result was the district attorney declined to press charges. In a quote off the record” conversation some months later, a secretary told me that the talk in the office was that it would not look good at election time to have charged a female, domestic violence complainant such charges. Further, I received a verbal and written “tongue, lashing“ from one of our detective captains regarding my investigation. I was specifically told that, instead of wasting my time, trying to prove the complaints guilt, I should have concentrated my efforts on, proving the subject was guilty. my options going forward were to either drop the batter, or risk being suspended for insubordination (putting both my and my family’s livelihood at risk). Yes - there is a significant discrepancy when it comes to how persons on this topic are treated in the legal and judiciary system: and it is not even handed.

[@zerocal76]

Jesus all of that is simply frightening. I had an ex once who even when she was 100% wrong would never admit to it and was cold until I'd apologize or stop being upset myself. I'm so glad all that ended. Be strong and wise men! Thank u for sharing the story sir 🙏

How else possible except by psychology. Different regimes, same intentional and gradual systemic dehumanization as today's (Way Too) Far Left. They want to wear you down so you give up and play along. Did you know right after Kristallnacht, some Jewish people immediately left notes and committed suicide?

@Stefon Palinic it's not a competition. People who frame it that way defeat the purpose of discussions about gender relations anyway. Women have advantages as do men.

But both sides take the worst of the opposing side and frame it as the norm. That's why convos go nowhere.

Damn, I hope you never have to go through that again. At least now you can definitely take a stand for men's rights if you want now that you have a personal example. Whenever I (and probably the majority of other people) try to mention stuff about how men are generally treated worse than women when it comes to support, I can never come up with anything concrete even though I know perfectly well that there are situations like yours where women get far superior treatment. When I talk about how men have specific problems too I get explanations about how women suffer from the same problems among other things (and stuff about how some women get it even worse), when the point I'm trying to make is that EVERYONE can need support. Apparently when a group of women need support they can get support without any given to men, but when men need support you can't be sexist and have to let women take some too, regardless of how much is already available for women and how much men need it. Sorry if the rant isn't appreciated, I just hope you're alright and never have to face femminism against men to your own detriment ever again.

I had the great good fortune to meet and have a conversation with Cassie Jaye at a screening of the movie and meet and greet here in Calgary. It was hosted by the Men's Educational Support Association(M.E.S.A.) which I was a founding Charter signing member of in the mid 90's. She is a well spoken, articulate young woman who put so much of herself into this project that the inner turmoil she experienced is obvious in the finished product. Would definitely Recommend!

Why don't the logical feminists like her get more publicity?

[@augustuscaeser8939]

because the other feminists shut her down

Bc people love selective hearing

[@the_real_sliix]

@@mikegivemecheese3001 you right you right, but the people that are logical and don't have selective hearing should support more people like her so logic spreads not femenism

[@superasper]

Because the radical feminists always shout louder. It doesn’t mean that there are more of them, it is just that they are extremely vocal and pushy, which usually gets the attention of the scandal-seeking media. And there is goes.

My ex-wife used to turn in me in a second and then try to swing at me like a man. If something didn't go her way in life then she would yell and cuss at me. She did that to me in public. I finally filed for divorce and then she completely flipped. She was kind and wanted me to pull the divorce papers. When I refused she then told me that she would have me killed. I just looked at her, told her she had 5 days to pack up her stuff and get out. Long story short, she disappeared so she couldn't be served the divorce papers. She didn't even show up to court. Men get abused more often than people think.

Until the day where people realize that two things can be true without contradiction even if they are on “different sides” we won’t see affective change. Woman can have issues that need to be addressed, while men can have the same. There is no one victim. We are the victims of our own making.

[@dorothycampbell3]

AMEN Scott Kendrix, it takes a strong person to admit when they're wrong. I despise the term, "Toxic Masculinity"

[@mattg6106]

@@dorothycampbell3 Toxic masculinity is maybe an over-used term by some groups in an attempt to demean others but it is an issue. More often than not it's an issue that negatively effects men. Men aren't allowed to show emotion or 'weakness' in a lot of cases or else they are ridiculed. This sort of thing can and does lead to issues of depression and misrepresentation. There are additional TED talks about the subject which are worth a watch.

[@Thug_Nuts1]

Matt G in a lot of cases the fact that we don’t show emotion is the reason in general men are funnier than women as instead of just staring our feelings we put a filter on it via comedy so it doesn’t make us look weak

[@Deairejeffries81]

This woman is a great add to society

[@mkobd]

Matt G toxic masculinity is not real because it is a subjective idea and has no true definition. The definition changes from person to person therefore it’s just an Internet slang term that made it big time but will definitely fade away soon.

I knew about her in 2013 while she was making the film. I expressed the same sentiments to my friends and family and had the same extreme ostracism and dehumanization. I was universally reviled and pushed on and took it because I couldn't stand by and accept this. Now many of them have likely seen this talk. They'll say "oh but you were more 'extreme.'" I was not! Your perception of extreme was marked by your bias, which has changed with socio-political fashion. Will I get a single apology? Not one until the day I die. Do I regret it? Never!
