"I wish I could slap the dumb b!tch that is responsible for it. "
And the DUMB B!TCH you are referring to is a MAN. So your ignorance and misogyny is showing.
Threats of violence (against women, who aren't even responsible for this film,) is uncalled for. It's revolting. Use your words, not your fists, to make changes and appeal to others.
I am a feminist who appreciated the film. It's important to understand when people are treated poorly from any background or gender, but it is indeed true that this is a male controlled world where most people in power are men. There is a problem, but I sympathize with any man who is also demonized or sexualized or otherwise harmed unfairly. It is wrong when society crosses the line while trying to make the world safe. We have to work together and understand each other and our differences to continue to make positive changes. So I sympathize with non-offending pedophiles, and men who are treated like perverts just for being near children. But I don't defend actions that harm children. We have to work out these issues together.
The MRM has a problem appealing to general society because most of them advocate threatening women and effeminate men. This is a hateful movement, and it will never take serious ground in any constructive way.
The feminist movement has gained equal rights on behalf of women and paved the way for equal rights for LGBT people. It's a lasting movement, even when people try to discredit it or demonize it, because we will not go back to being second class citizens just because we don't have balls. We will not stand for anything feminine being seen as bad or lesser than anything masculine. This is what feminism is.
Any woman who hates men and wants men to be seen as less than women has the same problem that misogynistic men have. They need to get over themselves and understand true respect for others. Any rejection/abuse they felt that they credit solely to those of the opposite gender needs to be directed at individuals and cultural issues, not the whole gender.

This movie talks about how men are treated in today's society. How a lot of me avoid taking jobs as teachers for young children because of how it would be perceived. Also touching or hugging or showing any type of emotion to any child because of how it might be perceived.
We live in a society where it's probably less than 1% of the population going to cause harm to a child. But every adult male walks around being afraid of being accused of being a pedophile.
I personally watch what I say and do a lot of times. Like if I see a woman with 2 cute kids get into an elevator, to make small conversation I would like to say, you have two really cute kids. But as an adult male I know that could be taken the wrong way, so I just stare forward at the wall and don't say a thing. Is this the type of society we want to live in? People not being friendly towards each other or starting small talk?
The threat of a your child countering a pedophile is so small, yet our society acts like you have to be on high alert all the time. The people who put this documentary out there are aware of this and even talked about it in the movie.
Then they go and give the movie a title like this? I almost didn't watch it because the title of the movie puts an image in your head what it's going to be about. The movie was nothing like what I thought by the title. I think the title of this movie instills the stereo type that you have to worry about every adult male around your child.
I think it was a very poor idea to give this movie that title.
