I don't think it's a particularly useful thing to say about yourself because, as you say, lots of people use it to try to claim they're being oppressed when really they're just losing their privilege. It's very accurate when you're looking from the outside inwards though, such as this case where someone is claiming men are becoming irrelevant when obviously it's just that others are being seen more equally.
