Examples of patriarchies (as described in context of feminism ) harm to men .
1. The presumption of male disposability in war . Traditional masculine values push the idea men need to be warriors or hunters and in that high risk role they will be viewed as inherently expensable .
2. Male suicide . The idea men need to be stoic and never vulnerable and are shamed if they do .
3. It shames men who would rather be home makers then bread winners .
5. The idea of domestic violence being purely male . As men are viewed as stronger thus the offender . Or the cultural shamed into not being vulnerable .
6. Also of course prison. Men once again are viewed as stronger and thus more dangerous
7. Homelessness . Again men are not suppose to be vulnerable
And i can point out plenty more . As a feminist i oppose these and the system that maintains them . But i point out some of the very MRA's who bring these issues up. shame men who act vulnerable or ask for help or don't live up to the masculine image. while there are real groups who encourage men to break these restraints.

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
