Ford4000, let's be honest and look at the entire history of human civilization. Women have been, by far, the most oppressed side of the "gender aisle" so to speak. In almost every culture and society, women have had it "toughest" in terms of their treatment and experiences. Men, as a whole, have had a shameful track record of abusing their power and utilizing their physical strength for ill rather than in the humble and sacrificial service of women and children.

With his life, Jesus Christ gave the leadership model for men to follow. Paul re-iterated in Ephesians chapter 5:

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Men have also had to support women and children so it’s not as though they got off easy.

Idealizing women is dangerous to the truth too since, as I am sure you know, they are as fallen and sinful as men are. Feminism, at least as practiced today, is almost purely evil: paranoid and justifying any behavior of women while blaming it on men.
