Wendy McElroy Says No Victim Class Status for Men

Roy writes "Wendy McElroy argues that the men’s movement is making a blunder by seeking to identify men as a new "victim class." She says rather than seeking inclusion for services under VAWA, MRAs should be advocating for the repeal of bad laws. "Only time will tell whether the men's movement will become a politics of rage as the feminist movement did in the mid-70s ... Only time will tell whether men will become the next group to use government force to seek restitution, not for wronged individuals (which is just) but for an entire class of people." Interesting iFeminist variation on Chivalry... only women deserve status/power as an organized social group ... but a man must go it alone?"
