ORIGINAL: respectmen http://archive.is/TcZ4t#selection-767.15-767.80 Feminists once again displaying their totalitarianism. As always, feminists seem to think that an opinion is only allowed if it's kowtowing the feminist narrative when it comes to a discussion about gender issues. Other than that, when it comes to these controlling nutbags, no one else is entitled to speak. This is why in pretty much nearly every space, universities, forums on the net, there are never a shortage of feminists trying to censor anyone having an opinion that's opposing feminism. One would think when it comes to equality, that means all genders are entitled to the same type of freedom of speech that feminists use. The men's rights movement is just as stupid as the feminist movement, but they are still entitled to their speech though, just like feminists. Feminists evidently don't want that equality while forever claiming they are about equality. Who would ever listen to men if they complained about feminist videos or conferences and demanded them to be cancelled/banned simply because these men disagree with what is said? No one would. But society always listens to the woman's side to get men's voices silenced. That is a prime example of female privilege. Not keen on censorship of any kind, whether I like the message or not. Freedom of speech doesn't however mean obligation to listen. As long as the film doesn't promote violence or incite hatred I don't see what the fuss is. The problem here seems to be that the cinema was scared that showing the film might ruin its credibility and presumably its ticket sales. Persuading a commercial organisation to carry your message, especially if it is not a mainstream message, is not a right in a democratic society. If the film maker really wants the film to be seen, she may have to host it on the net rather than trying to persuade a cinema to show it. Bottom line is a cinema is not obliged to show the film, but the state shouldn't interfere with it's publication.
