If you want discrimination against men to be addressed find a way to spin it as discrimination against women.

Slurs against gay men were ignored mostly until someone figured out that implying that they are effeminate was insulting to women. Now such slurs get you instabanned.

Rape killed about men aren't a problem except that it normalizes rape which hurts women.

And so on. Men can't have issues of their own, but rather those issues must be weighed against the best interests of women and often children.

On issues affecting men people will ask how addressing them will affect women. Never the other way around.

Privilege.
