Privilege doesn't have to be male. There are pros and cons to each sex and to all the gender identities.

" In reality most opposition will just be name-calling "

Sound's like you're asking for it.

False equivalence. Our culture is systemically prejudiced against women. Rarely this backfires somehow & negatively effects some men.

Nonsense.

Men are oppressed just as much as women are, in different ways. There is no shortage of men who have no access to their children, yet are forced to pay child support for life. Domestic violence is almost half done by women yet there are almost no safe places established for men. Most dangerous jobs are done by men and there still isn't universal health care.

The ruling class are the oppressors, not men or the stupid propaganda "patriarcy" nonsense.

Don't want to make you mad or anything, it's a legit question: Why don't men go and build shelters and stuff for other men? Where's the solidarity?

I think that is tremendously insightful and an excellent point. IMO, it seems more that slightly suspect - almost as it something's rigged or oppressed, but that's speculation, so in short - I don't know. And, in fact it's such a good question, I'm going to ask it of some folks who might know.

I wasn't following any Men's Rights folks before I recently started finding "Men Are Good!" on YouTube. I've left the same comment on their most recent video but I don't do Twitter. Hopefully they'll notice and explain that shelter gap question.
