Crosspost "Just because I'm a male, doesn't mean that my problems are invalid or any less important." from /r/unpopularopinion:

Yes there are many men who are rich and in power. Yes Forbes lists and company executives are dominate by men. I get it. Guess what, me and everyone else reading this is likely not a part of that elite.

Guys get too much shit for no reason. Yes women's issues are a thing. Yes there is repression and many many problems for many many minorities. Those problems need to be solved, but here I am eating a shit sandwhich for having a dick?

When's the last time you heard of a widely available support network for men? Higher suicide rates, higher incarceration rates, un-realistic expectations. Innocent guys getting punished with heavy sentences for false rape claims. Guys being told to 'man-up' when they dare complain about anything. Prostate cancer rates higher than breast cancer, with a fraction of the non-for-profits that are specialized for it.

It's tough out there. There are people out there that are doing great work for men, great advice and great support. I'm very thankful for these people and organisations.

And make no mistake, this isn't throwing blame, or taking away from other worthy causes. Domestic violence is real and prevalent, rape is despicable and ever present.

But hey, men have their issues too. The two mentioned above also applies to us. And apparently bringing up this opinion immediately makes you or me sexist.
