Charli XCX had a few choice words to share after finding out BBC Three aired Men at War, a documentary about men's rights by filmmaker Reggie Yates. The documentary centers around men who think feminism and the movement for gay rights are endangering their own rights as previewed in a clip from the film on Twitter.
.@RegYates meets the young British men who think feminism has gone too far. #ExtremeUK continues Monday at 9pm. https://t.co/700M7w4QPw
The timing of BBC Three airing this documentary could not be any worse seeing as how they just aired Charli XCX's documentary on feminism titled The F Word and Me only a few weeks ago. The singer, who has always been outspoken on feminism, took to Twitter to open up about her overwhelming frustrations with the clip. Charli explained that she's upset this documentary received a prime time placement at 9 p.m., while her documentary aired at 10:30 p.m. when a lot of her fans weren't to catch it. Watch the clip for Men at War above and read Charli XCX's tweets below. You can also watch The F Word and Me documentary on BBC Three.
SORRY BUT THIS FUCKING DISGUSTS ME. https://t.co/qRBwvBnk4e
I understand that the below is a documentary exploring views of others and i haven't seen the whole thing yet so obviously can't fully form
an opinion. but this snippet is terrifying. and also, annoying. because i made a doc for the bbc that was shown on a tuesday at 10.30pm when
a lot of my audience were unable to watch. this doc seems (from this snippet) to be discussing feminism in an entirely negative light and is
shown prime time at 9pm........... ughhhhhh priorities. come on.
the way the man in this snippet talks about 'women and gays' is just so fucking FRUSTRATING. people like this don't deserve airtime.
positivity should be promoted. not negativity.
***probably about to be painted as an 'angry privileged man hating woman' now. fuck, dude i love men. just not men who are total cunts.
