Feminists: What Were They Thinking?

This film requires no direction and no script. Women tell the stories that happened to them as they were growing up and what is happening currently. This is a documentary about women by women and it is what is it. There is no contradicting what happened to these people and the stories speak for themselves. Women are not yet equal in society and it used to be even worse. Despite the progress the fight needs to continue because of the attitudes towards women expressed in the film and the very reviews from this website.

This happened! This is happening! Women have not been able to vote for 100 years!

This documentary is a sentimental and almost poetic portrayal of the experiences of women from different backgrounds. Gave it 8/10 because it lacks a bit the "documentary" style but I guess the aim was not to depict history, rather giving a glimpse of the moment these women shared in the 70s.

I believe the comparison with the Red Pill is wrong, as this documentary is not focused on an issue that needs to be debated or a phenomenon to be analysed, as opposed to Jaye's. Also, to those asking more self-reflection like Cassie Jaye did, a journalist or documentary maker should not appear on camera. The topic is the protagonist of the documentary, not the filmmaker.

This is a fantastic documentary and made me appreciate these amazing women so much more. I feel ashamed to have really only understood feminism in my 30s. It's too late. We all need to embrace feminist theories earlier. We need to teach our kids. We need to teach our kids about intersectionality. As a mid 30s woman in an industrialised country who has had almost every advantage, I still struggle with being a woman. If I were to add any other aspect such as skin colour, disability, lower income bracket, I would have struggled more. I'm lucky for sure, but I recognise that. Most don't. I do however see that we all need to work together to ensure equality. And maybe it's more about equity anyway.

It was wonderful and accurate, and if anything it was kinder than it needed to be. I can only assume that the poor ratings come from insecure men and women who are afraid of a fair and just society.

This was an excellent documentary that provided an insider's look and a rare opportunity to hear from female Artists, Activists and leaders of the feminist movement of the 70s.

Don't let the bad reviews deter you from watching - they were probably written by angry dudes!

I feel empowered and motivated after watching this film and it's a must watch for any girl and woman today!!
