A lot of the issues we have are due to the oppression/privilege dynamics. Men are privileged. Therefore they don’t need help. Therefore any problems men have it’s their fault and not society.

It also means you cannot criticise someone who is ‘oppressed’. I’m sure we’ve all seen at least once how criticising a woman is met with misogyny allegations. Certainly criticising feminism is tough.

So the strategy comes down to - play the game or tear down the game?

For men, either put ourselves as an ‘oppressed’ group as well or dismantle the whole idea altogether. The former seems easier I think but it’s about what works and what is the right thing to do.

Once we get that, we can put in the work.
