This 2016 article (since removed) by Katie Tastrom-Fenton puts forth the "unpopular" opinion that shelters for male domestic violence victims are a waste of money. This article was written in response to the opening of the FIRST domestic violence shelter for male survivors.

Some of her points include:

  1. The nine-bed facility diverts money from resources that could have helped more women.

  2. Men's Rights Advocates haven't adequately credited feminists for bringing awareness to the problem of domestic violence.

  3. A shelter for men might not adequately reinforce the concept that "toxic masculinity is always a part of domestic violence".
