Wildrose On Campus Calgary has fired its communications director and cancelled a film screening planned for Wednesday at the University of Calgary following public uproar over an email promoting the event. The email, sent out by the student group Monday and widely disparaged on social media, read in part: "feminism is cancer." We are very sorry for the comments that were made in an email sent out earlier today. NDP MLA and Environment Minister Shannon Phillips called on Wildrose leader Brian Jean to explain an email from the student group Wildrose On Campus, equating feminism to cancer. #ableg — @JasonNixonABAccording to the website IMDB, The Red Pill "chronicles filmmaker Cassie Jaye's journey following the mysterious and polarizing Men's Rights Movement."
