he has one. He never said men are being oppressed. It's not generally good to argue against something that was never said. what he SAID was, there is an anti-male atmosphere. This is certainly true. Just look at sexual harassment cases. Most men who bring such cases against female superiors get laughed out of court. If a woman brings one against a man, she is virtually guaranteed to win, even if her evidence is garbage.

Look at this thread. "men are jerks." I'd call that pretty anti-male myself.

What it boils down to, though, is that once again we are errupting into sterotypes. IMHO, saying "Men are jerks" is no less disgusting from a sterotypical standpoint than saying "blacks are stupid." They both represent stereotypes that are easilly disproven by anyone with the capacity for rational thought.
