Change the word "men" to "women" in that sentence to see how patently absurd that claim is. Women have unique needs that men do not, and organizations that help them navigate unique challenges. Why wouldn't this also be true about men? But our society is still so obsessed with "liberating" women that we can't even imagine that men might benefit from having their own spaces and advocates.
Let's talk about homelessness, criminality, or suicide rates, and see if you can convince anyone that it's "for good reason" that men have "no groups that represent or advocate" for them.

Women have unique needs that men do not, and organizations that help them navigate unique challenges I think you're getting the idea that I don't want groups for men. "For good reason" is probably quite nebulous, so I'll go fix that. Thanks for pointing it out.

This gave me pause, because there are definitely groups that advocate on those issues, they're just rarely framed as being "for men".
