The sad thing is, that's the standard response to someone bringing up the oppression of men; accuse them of attempting to derail, say that they're trying to diminish women's suffering, ignore them, or try to make them out to be a misogynist saying women are all responsible for men's suffering. Rarely is the actual issue addressed. The last one is...particularly interesting in light of social justice's usual "everything is the patriarchy's fault, and therefore men's fault".

The funny thing is that more moderate "masculinist" sites usually have no problem whatsoever comparing oppression against men to oppression against women, without acting like the two are matter and antimatter.
