I would also add the vulnerability of male children to the list of things they never bring up except as a weapon. young boys are often treated by society as if they’re just mini adults, to the point where nobody looks twice if their sexually harassed or assaulted. But men never bring this up in an attempt to change it. It’s only ever used as an ammo to fling at women and say “actually, we’re just as if not more oppressed.”
As a trans woman who dealt with that pretransition, that one really stings to me. Nobody cares about helping people like me, we’re just a weapon to be used.

Excellent point and I agree.
