actual real male rape victim: feminism has helped by telling me that i didn't deserve it any more than any woman would and that the pressures put on my gender to enjoy sex are socially constructed and do not define me.

anti-feminist: okay but feminism makes it so that fathers have a harder time winning custody

actual father of somebody who was out with an abuse mother: feminism seeks to destroy the idea that mothers are the best ones to care for children, and that their role is more than just that of a mother. i need feminism because I would have actually been a better parent for my child to have been placed under the custody of.

anti-feminist:

anti-feminist: well feminism makes guys pay for the meal and makes women never have to do anything for it

actual male who doesn't want to pay every date: actually, the idea that i have to provide for both myself and my female companions is actually very harmful because it suggests that i'm inherently stronger than they are and that i have to be able to be strong at all times. this is harmful to me because it forces dangerous roles and it's also dangerous to women everywhere because it paints them as weaker than their male friends. I need feminism to dismantle these built-up illustrations of my gender being hypermasculine.

anti-feminist:

anti-feminist: well what about male beauty standards? I have to be muscular and hot that's unfair for men too, and i've never seen a feminist complain about THAT

men who are actually bothered by these standards: the eventual breaking down of gender stereotypes that feminism seeks to do will result in reduced roles for both men and women, causing both of those genders to have fewer beauty standards to adhere to.
