Complexities of Victimization

In most colleges, women now heavily outnumber men. These women are victimized!
Women on gender-imbalanced campuses are paying a social price for success and, to a degree, are being victimized by men precisely because they have outperformed them, Professor Campbell said.
This confuses 2 distinct groups of men. The men who were outperformed are NOT in college. The men who are "victimizing" are the high-achievers who kept up.

The NY Times points out a parallel kind of victimization:
In this way, some colleges mirror retirement communities, where women often find that the reward for outliving their husbands is competing with other widows for the attentions of the few surviving bachelors.
Pity the poor wife
who out-competes her husband in the race for longer life
and regrettably then
finds a shortage of men.

These women are improperly rewarded!
Could excess men from China be imported?
