This's a topic that interests me a fair bit, so I have to ask a few quick questions:

  • Who did you end up interviewing from either side? Like big names, random individuals, or what?
  • Did anything you learned during the research and interviews completely surprise you?
  • Have you talked to any transgendered individuals who may have seen both sides of the gendered issue to a degree?
  • Did you talk to people who were MRAs that became feminists, or feminists who later became MRAs?
  • Have you done any real research into things like atheism+, gamergate, or similar groups which aren't directly members of the MRM, but may have very close ties to the MRM or feminism?

Anyway, thanksies for putting out the time and effort into this, looking forwards to your answers! =3

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I have a direct line to people like Dean Esmay, James Huff, several of the honey badgers and a few others along those lines. Is there anyone you'd want to talk to that you haven't already? Figure I may as well offer to help with your project. Heck, even I'd be willing to be interviewed if you wanted, even if I'm not a publicly known name. Anyway, question to add is there anyone from like NCFM, AVFM, CAFE, Men's Rights Sydney or whiteribbon.org you'd want to talk to?

Probably a good point. Oh well, I'm sure she can pick and choose which she'd prefer to answer if any. No pressure or anything! =3

Thank you very much for your replies! I'm especially glad to see you're looking into things on a deeper level than just what the first glance appears. For all the surface tension there may be, it's only once you break through it that you see there's a whole ocean beneath that's vastly more interesting. =3

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask more questions, but one thing you mentioned does bring up a very relevant one - you said you've talked to several feminists who became MRAs, but no MRAs who became feminists. This strikes me as odd... was it just random luck of distribution, or is there a deeper meaning behind it, do you think? Like... do you think there's really a heavy difference where it seems to be a one-way street when it comes to conversion from what you saw?

Anyway, thank you muchly again for your clear and awesome responses! <3 I really hope the kickstarter goes great, especially with the help from the AMA! And yeah, I figured you had spoken to most of them already, buuuut it never hurts to offer potentially more resources for any documentary, regardless of what it is. =3

Good luck! =D
