no, you're repeating a strawman used to dismiss people expressing legitimate concerns like
-dying earlier than women (on average)
-being far more likely to die in any war or violent conflict
-being more likely to be murdered if walking down a street in a bad neighborhood
-being legally expected to sign up for selective service and subject to prosecution when avoiding selective service enrollment, when the other sex is free to choose whether they want to serve
-being the last person allowed to board lifeboats
-being more likely to be assumed an aggressor and rapist after a night of drunken regret sex.
-being more likely to be assumed the instigator in relationships with mutual domestic violence; even sometimes being assumed by authorities to be the instigator when he is the one at the receiving end of domestic violence (you can thank the Duluth Model for this)
-having little or no say in deciding to keep or abort a child, not even being allowed to opt out with a "financial abortion" should the mother want to keep a child.
-comprising 93% of workplace fatalities
-being more likely to end up homeless
-receiving longer prison sentences for the same crimes (on average, and with no prior convictions); when on trial for cooperating with women in crime, being more likely to be assumed as and labeled the "ringleader" by prosecuting attorneys, even when evidence suggest equal complicity
-being more routinely fucked over in family courts (where divorce lawyers often encourage wives to falsely accuse husbands of assault and rape to win the court's sympathies and thus more or full child custody and child support/alimony)
-being more likely to be dismissed or laughed if a victim of rape, assault, or domestic violence
-receiving no special grants or loans when attempting to start new businesses
-being dismissed as patriarchal bigots anytime misandry, issues that affect both sexes at similar rates yet receive more attention for only one sex, or other concerns are brought up
