I say men are treated based on their gender, not just happen to be disadvantaged. Don’t put words in my mouth please. For the rest of the argument I understand

I say men are treated based on their gender, not just happen to be disadvantaged. Don’t put words in my mouth please.
For the rest of the argument I understand it, but don’t agree, for two reasons. First is that there’s enough man-only targeted demands and judgements, all well known. Second reason is that the world has supercharged the terms “man”, “manly”, etc so much, that discriminatory statements with these may sound absolutely natural to some.
There’s absolutely a majority of cases of people who get all the downsides but can’t entertain the upsides of “being a man”, for not behaving “like a man”, despite being one (as in, being born this way and not having a strong dispreference to this biological fact alone).
Men have it though and that makes them men who have it easy — I’m curious if you see a problem in this statement.
