I think it helps to understand that people vent about the male class of people, and not you (or me) as a male individual personally.

There is no male class of people.

There is no male class that sets out to oppress all women. That's a really biased view and reading of society. And comes from a really privileged point of view, mainly western middle to upper class. We need to move beyond the childish Marxist view of oppressor and oppressed if we want to actually be constructive and progressive.
