Their only defense against the victim power of men is to be bigger victims. But this is a ruse they cannot long maintain. In the zero- sum game they have perpetuated, they will lose. We will all lose because, as Warren Farrell stresses, in the nuclear age humanity can no longer afford win-lose confrontations. There is another option.
Responsibility is the rule, accountability the cornerstone of masculine alliance.
If women want to avoid the day when men en masse shrug off the mantle of responsibility and don the robe of victimization, then they must demand equal responsibility and accountability for women, now. In the long run, this is our only choice.
