BBC Film: Gay Porn Veteran Logan McCree Now Men’s Rights Activist

LOS ANGELES—Today, Logan McCree lives in Scotland where he works as a hair stylist, and in his off hours describes himself as part of the “Manosphere,” a loose network of “men’s rights” activists who convene online as well as at “real world” events to discuss their belief that men as well as women are victims of societal oppression, and that men and boys are victims of discrimination by the government and in schools. 

But for several years starting around 2007, McCree was a prolific performer for Raging Stallion and other studios, starring in such films as Leather ObsessionRear Deliveries, and Masterstrokes 12: High Impact.

According to the 20-minute documentary I Am a Men’s Rights Activist, which aired on BBC Three earlier this week—and can now be seen in the video below on this page—McCree has since turned against porn. 

"My plan of bringing something positive to the porn industry failed,” the German-born ex-performer told the BBC. “It’s a big industry and you can only do so much."

McCree’s main issue, however, is the “men’s rights” movement, which he tells the BBC is being “silenced.”

“I think as a men’s rights activist you are constantly being silenced. Society as a whole has an issue listening to men’s issues because it makes us feel uncomfortable,” he says in the film. “We don’t really like to hear about men being vulnerable.”

The film follows McCree as he travels from his home in Durness, Scotland—population approximately 400—to Chicago for a "men’s rights" conference. In the film, a speaker at the conference claims that men are more likely to become victims of domestic violence than women, an assertion that McCree endorses, questioning statistics which show otherwise.

“You have to look into the study and how the study was concluded,” he tells the BBC in the film. “I do not believe this statistic and I don't believe the statistics that were heard just now.”

According to the United States National Institutes of Health, approximately one of every three women 18 years of age or older had experienced domestic violence, compared to one of every 10 men. In other words, women are statistically more than three times as likely to become victims of domestic violence.

Despite his skepticism about domestic violence statistics, in the most disturbing sequence of the film, McCree describes how he and his brother listened on the phone as his mother was shot dead by her husband, who then turned the gun on himself. 

But he says that even that horrific experience did not affect his views that men are victimized at least equally with women.

“I think that women were oppressed in situations and I think that men were oppressed in situations,” he says in the documentary. “Boys don't get the same attention as girls. I really want to show them what they can do.”
