I also know that and I think society should admit that yes, men, masculine and trans-masculine people also are discriminated against, almost as often and almost to the extent as women and AFAB people are, though likely not anywhere near as much pervasively them, and I understand that women are definitely the more oppressed sex.
Yeah the secret about the damaging effects of toxic masculinty and the partiarchy is that it doesnt even benefit men, its what is sending them to war, keeping them lonely and isolated and ensuring they will never make deep connections with other people.
There are some ways in which men benefit straightforwardly from privilege but not every man can reify those benefits successfully and men would eventually be better off with patriarchy dismantled as they could access other privileges that are currently out of reach for everyone due to the limitations of our society.
