By : Last Friday, after the red carpet showing of the The Red Pill Movie, there was a Q & A for the audience. I was involved, along with Director Cassie Jaye, Karen Straughan, several other men’s advocates and none other than Professor Feminism himself, Michael Kimmel.
It was a brief affair, and pretty intense at points. For me personally, it was also a bit comical, and, well, fun.
As you know by now, Cassie Jaye’s movie, The Red Pill, has already created a watershed moment in the history of advocacy for men’s and boy’s issues.
As I promised earlier, I would provide an analysis of what happened at the question and answer session after the movie, and in particular for me, why I found it so damned funny.
To get this, I want to start with the end, when Michael Kimmel grabbed a taxi and left the area so fast you’d think he was running through a gauntlet of cameras with a raincoat over his head to hide his face.
It’s hard to blame him. First, part of the film had the audience laughing at him – while he was in the theater with them. Ya know, not really what you want to see on red carpet night. Or rather, not really who you want to be.
It didn’t end there. Not satisfied with the movie directly exposing his uniquely disingenuous form of buffoonery, he had to pour salt in his own wounds during the Q & A.
