It's a common feminist refrain to claim that The Patriarchy hurts men too. The problem with this argument is that in order to believe in The Patriarchy we'd need to believe that it hurts women more than men.
• Men have higher mortality at every age
• Men experience more violence at every age
• Men have a lower life expectancy
• Men are treated more severely at every stage of the criminal justice process
Any Patriarchy that didn't benefit the vast majority of men would be disfunctional. Feminists thus argue that men created a disfunctional Patriarchy and women weren't able to free themselves of it until the 20th century.
The feminist claim that Patriarchy hurts men too is an oxymoron. Any Patriarchy that did not benefit men would be dysfunctional. This claim is just a response to MRAs and others successfully raising men's issues.
