Men's Group

in some, maybe even most cases, is by no means a universal slam-dunk.

I'd add that I do think men have (obviously) enjoyed unfair advantages in many aspects of our society- although I believe this is less than it used to be. And sexism was a part of this. When all-or-most women were kept out of the workforce, for instance, it made it easier for men (generally) to get jobs. Etc.

But let's say I'm a stay at home dad whose wife is the primary breadwinner. How do I 'benefit' from her facing discrimination, lower pay, or other gender-related obstacles? I don't.

Oftentimes, men and women are on the same team. This idea that it's "all the men" versus "all the women"; I don't know who thinks the world works that way, or that things are really that divided.

Obviously some people are deeply invested in their fantasy of a pervasive gender conflict, and some peoples' agenda seems to involve pathologizing all men or painting all men as "the enemy". I do think Brownmiller was coming from this place.
