The only example I can really think of is child custody hearings.
While sad, these are individual cases, not a remote comparison to women not being permitted to vote at one point, for example. As a gender.
African american men and women at one point, weren't permitted to attend (by law) schools that white kids attended.
Gay people have just recently received the right to legally marry in some parts of the US, and other countries.
Making fun of men on sitcoms, or men not winning their custody battles, is not remotely comparable to these other examples that I've provided.
I don't like to see anyone marginalized, but it's very insulting and dismissive to remotely equate it to legit, historical civil rights issues.
I'm not a feminist, btw.
