The Not So Dark Side of Feminism:

       Recently, I watched a film called The Monstrous Regiment of Women by Gunn Brothers. This very disturbing movie was making the argument that feminism is "unchristian". This was not very well depicted in the documentary because of the bias interviews and weak arguments. The first problem with this movie is it mostly interviewed women. Now, I do understand that it is about feminism but I feel it would be intriguing to see what the Christian male perspective would have been on the topic. The interviews do consist of some of the leading anti-feminist women but not too many leading feminist. This makes the film very bias in how the information is presented. Also, a majority of the interviews could have been just neighbors of the filmmakers. This creates a misinterpretation that the views that are being projected are of a majority of Christian women across the nation but it is mostly a few women in a small town in Texas. I personally feel that this film would have done a better job with promoting pro-life views rather than feminism.
      It was fully unnecessary to get into the topic of abortion in this documentary. I do understand the reason that they presented abortion was to show how women are made to carry children in their womb and take care of them and the household after birth. However, abortion is only a sub factor in that argument because it is just the concept of the child bearing. Sadly, this was the only section of the film that I found interesting through the overly graphic showing of a partial birth abortion and the interview with the former head of an abortion clinic. But here is a good example of how bias this documentary is because the only interviews that the filmmakers had against their argument of abortion was a man and woman that they found off the street and a doctor they happen to run in to. Overall, this documentary makes me want to become more of a feminist rather than supporting the ‘Christian’ view that it presents.
