It seeks solutions only for those aspects of unfair laws that are unfair to women, while insisting that unfairness to men and boys must be ignored. This is why we have laws against female genital mutilation instead of laws against genital mutilation; challenges to the exclusion of women from combat positions but no challenges to the exemption of women from Selective Service registration requirements (at least, not any coming from women); a Violence Against Women Act instead of a Violence Against People Act; and so on and so on.
A growing number of people are beginning to realize that the truth is that some laws have been, and are unfair to women, while other laws have been, and are unfair to men. Unfairness is neither a contest nor a zero-sum game. There is plenty of it to go around. Portraying men as evil-doers and women as innocent victims in order to capitalize on societal expectations that men should serve and protect women, and should never be heard to complain about it, can be an effective strategy for making short-term gains. At the same time, though, it damages the credibility of women who talk about equality, or who say that feminism is “about equality.” It would be prudent to consider whether the short-term advantages that women gain from this approach outweigh what is lost in the long-term.
