There are a lot of good answers here that expand on broader social problems, so I’ll focus on reasons given by men in my life.
Equality is legally enshrined, therefore any women still complaining are just experiencing the same things as men and calling it misogyny
A litany of reasons men are unfairly treated as well, all real, but taken out of the broader context of how much worse it is for women.
Misogyny isn’t real, people are just assholes.
There are a codified differences between sexes and therefore different roles we need to fill, stepping outside those roles brings depression and misery.
Adding one I’ve heard: women are capable of granting the gift of life, which is the greatest ability and brings the greatest sense of fulfillment. So it all balances out.
So we can do this amazing thing… and that makes it okay to treat us worse?
Dafuc?
lol I read this to my hubby and he said ‘that’s like one guy saying ‘horses shouldn’t be made into glue!’ And another guy going ‘but they can run really fast so it’s okay!’

They honestly thought this was a good argument.

What the actual fuck. No the fuck it does not
Equality is not legally enshrined everywhere.
To reiterate: These are reasons men have given me.
