The fact is, women have no idea what it's like to be a man. A woman can be a high flying businesswoman or she can be a stay-at-home mom, both are completely acceptable. That is true freedom. Men do not have that freedom, there are very few stay-at-home dads because society expects more from men. The reason there are more men in high status jobs than women isn't because men are oppressing women and keeping them down, it's because men have no choice but to aspire to be the best. Women aren't interested in any other type of man so we have to compete, constantly.
Society demands this from men, you're a failure if you don't compete, you're a failure if you don't have a good job with a good salary. And it's a neverending crushing pressure that a great many men struggle to deal with. Having to constantly be what you're supposed to be as a man. Women really don't have anything comparable on this level. This is a huge contributing factor to the male suicide rate being so high.
Men suffer while being told they're privileged. Women think they want what men have but they don't. If they knew what it was truly like to be a man they would run a mile and never look back.
