I became aware of the men’s rights movement in September of 2012, when a friend showed me an upcoming debate called “Has Feminism Gone Too Far?” Vancouver slam poet Ruth Mason-Paull organized the debate. Feminist speakers as well as men’s rights activist (MRA) speakers were scheduled, and a public event on Facebook was created.

Interestingly, the debate was to be held on Commercial Drive at Café Deux Soleil, a neighbourhood eatery haunted by many feminists, as well as others of the political left. The Facebook event exploded with venomous discourse between the two camps, and the event was cancelled. According to an article on feminist website Jezebel.com dated September 10, “Mason-Paull canceled the debate … after receiving what she said was an overwhelming barrage of comments and threats.”

Anorexic Logic: On American Psycho. "Nothing evokes the end of the world more than a man running straight ahead on a beach ... cocooned in the solitary sacrifice of his energy ... In a sense, he spews himself out ... He has to attain the ecstasy of fatigue, the "high" of mechanical annihilation. " "To eat is to appropriate by destruction; it is at the same time to be filled up with a certain being.

A butcher knife elegantly cuts into meat on an artfully prepared plate. The film cuts to young, urban professional, Patrick Bateman's Manhattan apartment, where his tightly muscled body walks out of the shower into an impeccably clean, white space.

Spoiler alert: please read this commentary after watching the movie. I have a friend who is a professor of women's studies who steadfastly refuses to go to the opera or the ballet, maintaining that both are profoundly misogynistic.
