It's embarrassing to have a man define womanhood. I haven't seen this so I can't discuss the content fairly, but as a man, this just makes me uncomfortable.
It kind of underlines a problem with men who are under some impression that they get to speak for women.
Again, not saying that is what the film is about, just discussing the issues with the cover that I can see people legitimately having.
If a woman isn't up to the task or isn't sufficiently motivated, why not a man? Women write about men all the time and have done so for a long while. If your first impression is that Walsh is engaging in "mansplaining," then my advice is for you to eliminate that concern and focus on modern, more genuine problems, if you must.
An crucial factor you're neglecting is that Matt Walsh doesn't feel as though anyone should even have to ask this question. It's not a documentary about women's emotions, childbirth, what it's like for women in the workplace, etc. Much of it is a mockumentary designed to expose cynical politicians and foolish/corrupt clinicians and academics. Walsh wouldn't have bothered making the film if the simple, essential biological differences between man and women were still respected and uncorrupted by all the gender blather. So, I don't see a trace of arrogance of, for instance, a man pretending to know what it's like to be a woman on a day-to-day basis. That wasn't the design or motivation.
I said in my original post that my impression is based off of the cover alone. I said that I don't know what the film is about and can't judge it fairly.
It's just a poor choice for a cover in my opinion.
It is exactly the message misogynists want to send.
The subject is people who are not what they seem,
so they put a man who is not a real man on the cover,
because a real man doesn't hate women, or femininity.
He's on the cover because he's the guy who made the film. It doesn't seem like that would be difficult to comprehend, but the stupidity of people can never be underestimated.
