    Yet another "feminist perspective" never questioning why that is the only allowable narrative.

    This is a long watch just to poorly explain hypergamy, confusing it with sex drive. The natural preference for women to want to mate upwards on the social and economic hierarchy.

    The problem currently isn't that women are actually out performing men, they have been artificially boosted, programs favor women at every level, and not based on merit, women simply are expensive, and frankly a liability in most cases as we are finding out with Equifax and even Facebook where Cheryl Samberg who was tasked with the business portion of the company simply hid when it was exposed that they were selling more of their user data than they let on. This was a person who spent their time bragging about how little they worked, spending their time talking about child care, feminism, their own "lean in" organization, spending as much time on activism as possible, while going home early rather than working on their actual job. But its accepted because the culture requires its tokens, its illusions. So now we lower standards to hire female firefighters who get injured on the first day of their job, we even remove hand grenade throwing requirements because they've clearly become inconvenient to mostly one group they dare not mention. And this is the path to mouse utopia, not "empowerment", because as said, the market place for relationships becomes incredibly distorted to the point where it simply isn't sustainable. Men still pay most net taxes, and at a certain point, that gravy train will end, you can promote women as much as you desire, but the productivity simply isn't there. Soon, things like the social welfare system will become insolvent, social security being the prime example, and the crash will cause the reset.

    Put it simply, mouse utopia is nothing to be proud of, claiming women have a high sex drive misses the point, they don't, its simply that the darker aspects of their nature have been unleashed, and without consequences they have become destructive to the long term survival of western civilization, because as noted by others, women haven't evolved to protect the cultures they exist in, they survive based on hypergamy, and so if any society is foolish enough to indulge their darkest whims, they simply end up the prizes of the invaders, the new victors who haven't been foolish as the men before them. People imagine our current experiment was some how eternal when it is nothing more than that, an experiment, and a rather foolish one at that.

    As for the absurd talking head basically drawing a parallel between midwives and abortionists, there is no evidence for that outside of gender studies conspiracy theory. Simple mortality rates and resource limitations kept populations in the past down. Furthermore pretending that past peoples were too dumb to be jealous and engage in the evolutionary game is ridiculous, spurred mostly on by the lefts fixation on the bonobo, failing to realize that is an evolutionary dead end. They fail to learn the lessons, the only time when such sexual freedom exists is when the women are masculinized to the point where they select for weak males they can dominate, and that dysgenic cycle of weakening the species destroys them. Its why the bonobo only exists because of their artificial and splendid isolation, release a band of chimps into their territory and they would simply cease to exist. And this is the problem with the feminist failure to understand why sexual marketplaces always became regulated, they don't understand the alternative is annihilation and extinction.

    The Playgirl interview was the perfect example of how ideology blinds such people to reality to the point where market failure isn't enough to wake them up. It was always "not real communism" that time it failed. The former hired head of that company tries to get around the fact of their customers mostly being homosexual men by citing 50 shades of grey, when that example entirely undermines her point. Not only was 50 shades of grey not based on visuals, but it was based on submission, not servitude. To put it simply, when someone claims there is a gold mine, and they won't bother to mine it, you know even they don't believe their own ideas.

    The conclusion that women do have power is correct, just not in how they imagine. Humanity is gynocentric, fixated around female needs to the point of excluding reality. Its why they are so afraid to criticize women, or even acknowledge faults. Its why their example of how women are "oppressed" around the world with Michelle Obama talking about "our girls" completely fails to acknowledge that males in those societies are often treated worse. This power, when recklessly unleashed leads to what we see now, the slow dissolution of society. The feminist forgets, the price for the delusion was a bargain, that you would have children to ensure the continuance of society, when that deal is broken, from this power only comes destruction. Near the end they mention polygamy and the 80/20 rule, failing to understand that if they take responsibility for this, it actually makes women's preferences responsible for war, because that is the inevitable consequence of such imbalanced systems.

    As always, ignore what people say, watch what people do

    Why Is This A Documentary About Women?

    There really is so little that this documentary does right, and so much that it does wrong, but namely, I find myself absolutely forced to give it a 1 star rating because it fails to live up to it's title, or examine its premise properly, and thus lacks any degree of insight in regards to the question. The title, and subject is not "A woman's sex drive." It's "Do women have a higher sex drive?" Higher than who? Higher than men. That means, in order to properly explore the question, you need to examine the sex drive of both men and women, more or less equally, because whether or not the question is true is completely dependent on the nature of a man's sex drive. That being said, I do not have a problem WHATSOEVER with a documentary which exclusively explores female sexuality and completely ignores male sexuality; however that's not the stated objective here, and the constant question being posed to each interview subject "Do women have a higher sex drive?" to which, by the way, there is no clear consensus given in the documentary.

    Instead you have one blanket statement/assumption after another being made here, particularly in regards to male sexuality. "Men only care about seeing raw sex or a naked woman in porn; women are looking for a very special and developed aesthetic." That of course is the stereotype. It doesn't describe me though. I have a very particular aesthetic, and every male friend I know has a very particular aesthetic. I post videos/pictures of women and porn to my friends all the time, and everybody has very particular preferences. In the end, I'm perfectly willing to accept the possibility that I'm wrong or abnormal, but if that's the case, you better present me with some empirical proof. That being said, when we look at the like bars on porn streams, that is a form of empirical proof, and quite consistently the videos that get higher ratings within the categories that I like, are visually, thematically, and contextually much more developed, and those are the videos I like the most as a man, which other men seem to agree with. In light of this, I can't confidently say that men are more prone to scrape the bottom of the barrel when masturbating to porn, and neither can you.

    This movie was one example after another of people running their mouths when they don't know what they're talking about. This one lady, for example, was trying to make the point that women have a higher sex drive than men, because the annual sale of female sex toys is higher than the annual sale of pornography. Ever heard of porn streaming, love? The vast vast majority of men masturbate to porn without paying for it, so it's very clear to me that you're trying to paint a picture based on what you personally want to believe, and you're willingly ignoring any data that disproves it. This one lady in particular, (the one with the horrendous lisp) I don't even think she knows what a sex drive is. She cites women being obsessed with male performers like Justin Bieber on a level that men typically don't obsess over female performers, as proof that women have a higher sex drive, for example. That's called infatuation. I know what that feeling is, because I myself have felt deeply deeply in love with people, and It's not the same thing as sexual arousal. If you think it's the same thing, it's because you have a low sex drive, have never been able to clearly identify both things separately in your mind, and are trying to reconcile the fact.

    The lady who worked as the editor of Playgirl made a lot of really biased blanket statements as well. Supposedly what made the magazine unique is that it was catering to a female aesthetic. In her view, EVERY single porn entrepreneur who disagreed with her aesthetic, rather than simply wanting to cater to an existing market demand, were instead trying to suppress a growing market demand, and that eventually playgirl went bust, not because of her own failings, but because it began catering to the existing market. She couldn't CONCEIVE of the idea that there really never was a huge market demand for her own personal aesthetic. You can really take this at face value for what it is... The fact is, if you're any good as a businessman, you can actually do both: cater to an existing market, as well as tap into a new audience (if it exists in the first place). According to her, tapping into the gay market is partly what killed the magazine. Interestingly, the porn director who was interviewed later seems to directly contradict this idea, saying that women often prefer gay porn, because of the way it shows off the male body. Again, this speaks to how poor a documentary this is, because the film makers did absolutely nothing to fact check this discrepancy, or explore the subject further.

    The editor of Playgirl also takes credit (by proxy) for inventing the CFNM subgenre, and characterizes it as a female oriented subgenre. There's a lot to consider there, but from what I've observed, CFNM is a very male oriented subgenre, especially if you take into account the fact that one of the most successful CFNM sites on the internet was DancingBear, and it garnered an almost strictly male audience. In fact, it was so successful in this regard, that the parent company "MorallyCorrupt" ended up producing a gay oriented spin-off to it. Why is CFNM popular amongst males though? This is common knowledge by now: because it familiarizes the female performers to the male audience (they look like the girl next door). Again, the film makers have zero insight to offer here.

    One question I have is why the hell are we focusing on playgirl in the first place, and not the infinitely more successful and universal playboy, which the former is directly trying to emulate? Playboy can tell us a lot more about what ordinary people actually wanted to see, and by periphery, can do a great deal more in terms of exploring the issue of the human sex drive, be it male or female, and which one is higher. Playgirl tells us about what nobody cared about, male or female, and that's why it went bust. The subgenre she was pushing, (men being portrayed as submissive and subservient) appears to be very unpopular, and only exists in extremely niche areas on the internet today. In other words, yes there's a market for it, but it never became big. By Interviewing someone like her, all you can expect is exactly what you got, someone who's desperately trying to save face in light of her failed project. She was out of touch then, and she's out of touch now. Who cares what she has to say, especially if you're not going to cross-examine ANYTHING she says?

    Another example, You have this one feminist who starts off by saying "One big historical claim is that prostitution is the world's oldest profession, but if we listen to 'herstory' it's actually widwives, and the Church principally charged midwives as witches because they had a lot of power." Ok great. First of all, why should I take your word for it, and secondly, I have no idea how you think you can prove that prostitution is not older. Also let's not ignore her entire premise that history as it's taught is biased, and that what she's saying is the objective truth, even though she cites zero historical sources. The fact is, when you use a made up word like "herstory" it directly denotes a built in bias despite the fact that you're accusing others of bias. Why can't you be objective? I don't need your stupid revisionist history if it's going to be emphatically and unapologetically biased with no evidence to back it up, thanks.

    Really, What this documentary should have been titled is "Female Oriented Women Pontificating About Sexuality In An Echo Chamber," because that's all it is. A lot of blanket statements are made with very very little empirical data or statistics used to back up anything said. That's ok in the context of an individual interview (I don't necessarily expect every interview subject to come with stacks of research studies in what appears to be a casual conversation). The problem is, this film is almost entirely based on interview footage, and there comes a point where the film makers really do have to do some backup research, if they expect the audience to get anything out of this. Instead, you have these back and forth interviews where the questions and answers are clearly filmed separately and edited together very awkwardly afterwards.

    Typically in documentaries like this, the interview subjects are directed to speak in a lot of full sentences, and the interviewer is cut out altogether. This works well because the answers often are then used to lead into informational backdrops, which is what this film severely lacks. Instead, what you have is a really naive looking girl asking a bunch of dopey rhetorical questions where she's repeating back what the interview subject is saying half the time, as a question. Nothing is challenged, and nothing is added by a single thing she says, and she appears to have no education whatsoever on ANY subject mentioned in this video, and not a single thought in her head about human sexuality. Hilariously at one point, she even expresses being confused at whether she does or does not have lesbian urges, to which the porn director, pretty much the only person interviewed who I actually liked, gives her this facial expression "Well I dunno. I guess you better sort yourself out." Sadly, speaking completely honestly, I get the impression that the interviewer is the director's girlfriend, who had this horrible idea for a film, and he got pressured into doing it for her. If that's the case it's a shame, because I thought his 2013 documentary was very interesting and insightful, which is the only reason why I bothered to see this documentary, but I don't think I will bother with any of his future projects after having seen this complete and utter mess of a film.

    This "Documentary" Is Full Of Unsupported Generalizations and Unsupported Theories.

    It would be nice if the "Experts" actually had the documentation that would make this a real documentary. It sounds more like an invented fantasy taught as if it was historic knowledge. What is the agenda here? Because clearly this is a form of propoganda and false teachings. I was hoping this was going to be interesting, and not just a collection of self important idiots spewing their agenda driven ideology. Databyter

    Are we done with the glass ceiling crap yet?

    So more women go to college, more women work, more women are managers. So are we finally done with the whining?

    Content over Form

    I believe every women should see this documentary. The other reviews have been poor, but they miss an important point: the content is accurate and very thought provoking. I have been researching sexual activity for years, and this documentary nails it on so many points. The premise and title are a bit pretentious and the dialog and questions are stiff, but get past that and listen to the content. The accurate portrayal of female sexuality is excellent, and this important understanding is missed by most of the world's population. The questions about evolutionary drivers and the repression of women's sexuality are very good background for every women (and man), and if you listen with an open mind you will learn a LOT. Take notes and follow up with your own research into each of the topics, to both confirm the accuracy and change your understanding of yourself and your partner. I wish they would have expanded on BDSM given its current cultural relevance, but again... use this great Documentary as a jumping off point to your own sexual revolution.
