What issues does each gender actually face depending on their gender?

Lazy response because I don't have a lot of time right now, but plenty of misogyny talking points feminists bring up are real. They're just not universal. A lot of them are common in conservative communities, but not outside of conservative communities. Plenty of men have gender essentialist views about women being irrational, too emotional to trust with serious responsibility, reduce women to their sex appeal and reproductive utility, believe in strict gender roles that trap women at home, simply not listening to women's input on things things such as their own medical concerns, etc. Heck, even seeing rape as a form of justice or a just reward for conquest. Women as prizes to be won or taken by force. Those people exist, and they're far more common in some cultures than in others... and I'm not just talking Saudi Arabia here. I've encountered those guys in the USA.

The problem is that feminists try to frame it as if because those things happen in some places sometimes that they happen everywhere all the time, and try to frame other issues as gendered that aren't.

Women have value without agency

Men have agency without value

Women, generally speaking, aren't taken as seriously as men. The Dobbs decision that removed protection for abortion was bad, bad, bad. Doctors do have a tendency to dismiss women's pain. Women are expected to do more domestically than men. Women are subjected to sexual harassment more often than men

Men, are expected to be completely independent an never ask for help. Men cannot unilaterally avoid parenthood post-conception. Men are more likely to be viewed as a threat, and are more likely to be considered malicious and violent. Men's sexuality is demonized. Fathers are considered the "second parent"
