The issue is the framing: "men have privilege".

The problem is the vast majority of men have very, very little privilege. Most of them are oppressed by the men who do have privilege just like everybody else. Telling the vast majority of men who do not have privilege that they have to "sacrifice" to fix the situation is just going to make them angry.

Being a man sucks, too. We know this from women go into blue collar jobs, somehow manage to overcome the sexism only to discover on the other side that nobody gives two shits about them, how they're feeling, whether they're hurt, etc. We know this from female to male transitioners who suddenly encounter the fact that they are now suddenly invisible to general society. The studies go on and on.

We are in this thing together, and we need to help each other out.
