Our society has gender roles that involve women carrying the brunt of the child-rearing, and the cooking, and the cleaning, and, for many, while working a full-time job. When men speak, usually, other men listen with the assumption of his competence, while women are expected to prove their competence in the workplace, in academia, and in politics. They are rarely, if ever, given the benefit of the doubt. Men are rarely penalized for being assertive, direct, ambitious, while when a woman has those same qualities, she is viewed as bossy, abrasive, or “a b-ch with something to prove”. Media, history, and even medicine center the male experience as the default, and then men complain when women get the Barbie movie. You really can’t see how men are benefiting?

I'm not sure about your society, but in mine that is partially true to child-rearing, especially following pregnancy given women get longer leave for this than men.
I would argue the rest of your comment is broad generalisations and anecdotal points.
As a counter-point, how do all men benefit from custodial sentences, frequently of longer duration than those received by women for the same crime?

I would argue its gona be pretty hard to substantiate that "all men" benefit in some identifiable way. Broad generalisations don't help anyone.
