Wendy McElroy: A feminist defense of men's rights

There's nothing like a McElroy article to stir some heated debate. Have fun guys! Excerpt:

'This is a transcription of a speech delivered before a man's rights group.

"When they speak, their voices sound similar to those of women in the 60's when the feminist movement, called Second Wave feminism, swept through our culture like a force of nature and left it changed forever. The women demanded of men, "Give us equal rights, give us respect." Forty years later -- two generations later -- the situation has been reversed. It is now men, not women, who are protesting against systematic discrimination against their sex. Even the issues around which the complaints gather are similar to those raised in the '60s. Men are saying they are not taken seriously by the police as victims of domestic violence. Similar to female rape victims from decades ago, society tends to stigmatize and blame men who are victims of spousal abuse."'
