Description
I'm just putting this out there for everyone. Being a man is hard. A lot harder than anything. Now before some of you people start bitchin' about anything hear me out.As a young man I couldn't wait til I was big and strong like my father. Like any person with a father growing up should. However, once i turned 19, even before then, I started really noticing that more people are bigger than me or at least stronger than me. Which made me nervous, cause since men are suppose to be big and strong.
Men (at least from what I have learned and seen) are more emotionally different, cause we are men, we aren't suppose to show emotions. But mostly men are more stressed out than women, because we live in a world where men are suppose to take care of their families and we work our butt off trying to make it in this world.
I'm not saying this to be mean to women, but it needs to be said. Men run the work force and because of that men are more stressed than anything. We have to compete other (And probably more successful) men. And when you look at statistics men comment the most suicides, the most violent crimes are committed by men. Men overrun a lot of things and yes, men are the most successful in terms of the workforce. But I feel that there are more pressure on men than women. Especially today when people aren't allowing men to be men and boys to be boys.
All you have to do is look at history and you'll find that men are very important to society, just as much as women are important to society. Men fight wars and fight to protect their family. Men are suppose to provide for their own families and are suppose to care for their children. But today men don't want to be men nor do they want the responsibility of what a man is. Because when society tells people that men are evil and aren't needed, what is left for a man to be? When men are told not to be men, what do you think men would do?
Take away men from their role and they don't want to do anything with anyone. Which is why fatherless children is increasing in society today, and why young boys aren't growing up to be men. There are people (mostly women) who are trying to take men out of their roles. And while I do support women in the work force and for men who choose to be stay-at-home dads, I do not support women calling men who wants to be fathers as pigs and women who wants to be mothers as traitors.
There is more I like to say but I'll add more later.

Making it a contest of oppression means running into the same exact pitfall as SJWs/feminists do.
"It's hard to be a man, too!"
Yeah, no shit there are issues that affect men specifically. But if you focus on what's hard about being a man, instead of on what can be done about the problems, then you're no better than they are.

When SJWs/feminist are trying to change gender roles, that's where chaos enter into the frenzy.
And why shouldn't I focus on what's being hard as a man? I'm not a woman. I don't have breast or anything that makes me a woman. I am a man! I'm not a heartless man, I do care about women and that they should be treated right, but women shouldn't desire something that isn't theirs. What do I mean by that? Well, women shouldn't desire to work in factories and steel mills or any other manly jobs that requires physical upper body strength. Men are biologically stronger than women which is why men become soldiers, farmers, and builders.

Wait, wtf. The problem isn't woman wanting to step into male gender roles, but rather that people in power want to force woman into masculine gender roles, while pushing men out. It's about how our society views men as expendable, and teaches woman to replace the men in their lives with the government, and how men are always portrayed as oppressive, and oppressive predators capable only of violence and sexual depravity.
The stats are in and when given the choice 4/5 woman are going to choose feminine gender roles if given the choice, that's what the vast majority of woman want, and as far as I am concerned there is no reason that 20% woman who want to work in traditionally masculine fields should not be allowed to do it (Provided that they earn there place like any man would have to rather than being hired/promoted on account of diversity quota's, which is a massive problem). The problem is this "a woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle" mentality, where men are treated like useless refuse while having to support a society that resents them. Yes men have greater upper body strength, and are typically more object focused (Mentally Speaking), but woman can be born with more masculine brains, and many masculine jobs do not rely as much on physical strength than male mental faculties, and many jobs that once relied heavily upon physical strength no longer do (Such as factory work), and even those jobs that do require great physical strength still have physical requirements that have to be met (and I do argue against lowering the bar just so woman can participate, which is also a problem that should be dealt with) but in theory if she meets those requirements I don't care if a comparable man would be stronger, if she can bash the door open and carry an unconscious adult out of a burning building, I don't care if she has tits.
Don't get me wrong, I hate it when people start acting like pointing out problems faced by men is "Participating in identity politics" it's morally reprehensible, to ignore the problems being face by any community. But dismissing the needs of men "Because their are bigger problems in the world" is the vary definition of the Oppression Olympics and is at the root of the problem with many of today's biggest social problems.
I guess what I am saying is your missing the mark, the general idea is right. Men are treated like garbage in the modern world, but the root of the problem is not that woman want to participate in masculine fields. It's that people want to say that men and woman are identical, while at the same time blaming men for everything that goes wrong in the world and acting like men are inferior because of this. It's the people that tell a woman she does not needs a man in her life, while building systems to support said woman by taking money from hard working men, who only want to settle down and have a family (But never will because woman have been taught that the act of committing oneself to a man is oppressive and old fashioned, that and due to the government stealing his hard earned money he will never be able to support them anyways) . It's in a world that seems hell bent on teaching men and woman to hate each other.

But gender roles are varied from one time period to another, from one culture to another. Clearly, there is a non-objective element at play there.
Well it's fine if you do, but if you want to focus on how hard it is a man, then you must grant that there is nothing wrong with focusing on how hard it is to be a woman.
As for women in steel mills etc: my position is that anyone who wants to do anything, and are capable of doing it competently- be it working in a steel mill, the army, or an office- should be free to do so without gender or any other group identity holding them back. To each according to their ability; treat everyone as an individual first. Who are you to tell a physically powerful woman she shouldn't be in the army if that's what she wants to do with her life, and can do it well?

When someone screams about male privilege as if it was greater than anything, I suspect the twit must be delusional.

I'm not trying to say male privilege is the best. I'm trying to explain that women shouldn't go after hard working men. That there are jobs for men, by men, and that women shouldn't try to go after men just because they are men. If a man is being a creep or hostile that's one thing. But if a man is trying his best to work and earn a living, that they shouldn't be attacked just because he is a man.

I don't believe this leftist concept of "male privilege" exists at all in reality.

When someone tells me to 'check my privilege' my reply is, "The only 'privilege' I got is the one given to me roughly 2000 years ago."

My response would be less polite and perhaps more physically forceful. I would however be quite cheerful and enjoy every moment of it.
