Her body, her choice, right?

Think about men.

His body, his choice?

Not so much.

Because the U.S. government

does not want

to send you to die.

It would rather send me to die.

Young men that

are failing to launch.

They're staying

in their homes of origin

far past the time that

we would normally expect them

to individuate and move out

and go live their lives.

We have video game addiction.

We have pornography addiction.

We have the abuse of young boys

with drugs like Ritalin

to manage their behavior.

Almost all victims

of autism spectrum disorders

are boys.

Boys are most likely

to be homeless,

most likely to get cancer,

most likely to die young

of every major cause,

most likely to be arrested,

prosecuted,

imprisoned, and even executed

while being completely innocent.

It doesn't matter

what their race is.

It doesn't matter

what their ethnicity is.

It doesn't matter

what their religious

or non-religious views are.

It doesn't matter

if they're gay or straight.

Men and boys are in crisis

and they need your help

and they need your support

because they are

human beings, too,

and you will not

shame me or anybody here

into silence about it anymore.

But if you start

to talk about those issues

and address them

in terms of how they affect

men and boys as a group,

people get hostile about it.

The idea is that men

have all the rights.

They've always had the power.

But if that's true,

why can't men

talk about their problems?

And that's what really got me

interested in this

to begin with.

And shortly after I began

filming men's rights activists,

I realized my own views

were being challenged.

I kept a video diary

throughout filming,

and I've decided to share

some of those diaries with you.

I really do feel like learning

about the men's movement

and their specific issues,

the issues

that they have issue with,

it's hard for me

to completely understand them

and...

Just automatically feel welcome

in that space of talking

about these issues.

Because at least with feminism,

whenever I heard

about the issues

that feminists

were fighting against,

I always felt like I had

something to draw from

in experience

to be on board with that.

And that's always been

why I've been drawn

to the feminist movement,

is because a lot

of what they spoke about

I had personal experiences with.

And with the men's movement,

I have very little

personal experiences

with the issues

that they talk about.

A cab driver who is

driving a cab 70 hours a week

was not saying,

"I am earning this money

to have power over my wife."

He was earning this money

even though it took power

away from his life.
