Even at the beginning of film-making, when Cassie Jaye was a supporter of feminism, she says that the Men's Rights Movement has a point and that MRA's have legitimate grievances. Both Sides Have a Point: The film focuses on the Men's Rights Movement because of their comparative under-representation in media and because Cassie who was a feminist at the start of filming wanted to criticize the movement.One of the activists in the film Jaye interviews alleges that it was done to him by his own wife, who trapped him in their marriage through getting pregnant, and then describes the hell she put him through in their custody battle.Activists mention France's banning of 'at-will' paternity tests without a court order, which limits options for men to prove actual paternity.In some cases, a man is legally obligated to care for a child even if he isn't the biological father. Activists within the film argue that if a woman enacts this on a man, he has pretty much no legal recourse from being saddled with a child he didn't want or wasn't prepared for.This documentary discusses the following tropes: Also, she was allegedly disqualified from applying to film production grants in the 'female director' categories because of the subject matter, though this was reported by Breitbart so can be taken with a pinch of salt. Jaye says she was more driven to make the film and see why people who claimed not to be misogynists supported Men's Rights because producers would only fund the documentary if it were given a feminist bias.

There has been criticism of the film, as in some ways it is framed to suggest that Jaye, an oft- typecasted ' Dumb Blonde' in her previous short-lived acting career, is denouncing feminism. The film is her journey of a largely academic exploration as to the origins of true Men's Rights activism, something that focuses on equality through a male lens to the world. At the start Jaye was skeptical towards the Men's Rights Movement, something she believed to be a hate movement. The film is the culmination of interviews and research Jaye did over the course of a year. It was produced and directed by film director and actor Cassie Jaye. The Red Pill is a 2016 American documentary film that explores the Men's Rights Movement.
