The problem IS that both parties are getting fucked by the system. It's really dumb for either side to complain about getting it worse - I mean, seriously, in the Oppression Olympics, all the prizes suck - but women have been limited to a specific range of interests, beliefs and emotions for a long time (i.e., marriage and kids, submission to men, fickle feelings that only illustrate their inferiority. Keep in mind that until around WWII and that imaginary 1950's era, men were the greatest poets, philosophers, critical thinkers, etc.). The only difference going on is that women have started to speak out about it starting with last century.
It makes me so sick when men get angry and complain that "if women can have shelters from abuse, why not men?" and use this reasoning to deprive funding to shelters - why the hell don't men start their own shelter instead? (There's actually a men's shelter in Halifax. I think it's brilliant.)
Anti-feminists and the Patriarchy hate men more than feminists do. Feminist at least want to enjoy really good sex with the men they love. Enthusiastic participation and all that.
