In the second episode of Reggie Yates’ BBC Three documentary series Extreme UK, Reggie met the angry young British men who think feminism has gone too far.
Viewers using Twitter sharpened their duelling swords and prepared for battle.
This #ExtremeUK episode looks like its going to break Twitter. 😂

From young guys preaching men’s rights at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, to the underground movement of male separatists of MGTOW (or Men Going Their Own Way), Reggie chatted to self-proclaimed menimists about their beliefs.
THE BOY MILO IS IN A REGGIE YATES DOCUMENTARY. DAPPER LAUGHS IS IN IT. IF YOU ARE NOT WATCHING THIS YOU ARE A BLOODY FOOL.

Reggie met infamous self-styled pick-up artist Roosh V, who has built a career out of dishing out “advice” on how to have more sex with women – even though he doesn’t seem to like them too much.
I think the phrase 'pick up artist' sums up why the anti-feminism movement is bullshit. #ExtremeUK

I can't believe he said 'Get your daughter married at 18 she shouldn't have a choice' 😕😕😕 #ExtremeUK

Twitter users couldn’t believe this guy actually had a following after listening to some of the hateful views he spewed on camera.

This is such a hard watch. All of these men came from women, were raised by women. They forget that. #ExtremeUK

I try to listen to other people's views but after listening to #ExtremeUK for two minutes I just can't listen to uneducated opinions anymore

Then came Dapper Laughs. And I’m sure you can all guess how viewers reacted…
Oh god Dapper Laughs that's all we need #ExtremeUK

"Dapper Laughs" I have no words. Other than being disgusted #ExtremeUK

Oh god. Dapper Laughs is pretending he’s a nice bloke. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you’re exempt from criticism. #ExtremeUK #MenAtWar

Rape is not a joke. #ExtremeUK

Dapper laugh's family affected by sexual violence…so he goes out and capitalises on such darkness many people face. Well done. #ExtremeUK

You're taking the piss out of men by degrading women… K #ExtremeUK

#ExtremeUK There's Free Speech and then there's people who use it as a shield for their bigotry and hate speech.

Yep. The internet was exhausted after a night of fighting bigotry.
Bye Felipe!
