The film was powerful. I thought it made some really important points. I'm almost certain it's going to cause a moral panic.

0:09.0

It's somewhat disconcerting for me, having researched this topic, to see this show being brought up in parliament.

0:17.0

Policy decisions from our politicians should be based on sober research rather than a piece of performance art.

0:24.4

Violence towards others and killing people, mass shootings and things like that is not the only harm associated within cell ideology.

0:32.6

You have an opportunity cost of a generation of young men kind of giving up on dating.

0:39.2

I should be clear that the evidence for these Manosphere-inspired violence like Jamie is very thin on the ground. There hasn't been

show being brought up in Parliament. So, Prime Minister Starmour was asked if he'd seen the show,

1:34.8

if he'd have plans to show, to play the show for politicians in Parliament, and he said that

1:40.7

he might, and he even misspoke, and he described the show as a documentary

1:45.3

at first, which I'm sympathetic to a misspeaking.

1:49.5

But the fact that that might be the tendency to overinflate the remit of this show.

1:56.9

So, in my opinion, policy decisions from our politicians should be based on sober research rather

2:03.3

than a piece of performance art, no matter how powerful that piece of art is. So that's kind of
