Commentary: The Red Pill documentary by Cassie Jaye
It's like... If I only saw TERFs as my impression of the feminist movement, I would have hated it. Just as I hated the men's rights activism movement for the extremists I saw online in my early 20s. I learned a lot from this documentary, and it has expanded my views in healthy ways. I stopped identifying as a feminist online when I felt the movement was too cringey--something people would misjudge me on. I didn't want to be viewed as a radical or be placed alongside them, but I never stopped taking a feminist stance or supporting some important women's rights issues. I've always been an activist. Rather than renounce feminism, I'll adopt men's rights activism, too. I have already done that in many ways in the past 5-10 years, it's just something I can now say with confidence. The concept of dialectics revolutionized my world view. If you think they can't coexist, you're wrong. If they could work together, all the progress they (both sides) claim to be nearly impossible would be happening already.
