5. Not very surprising, but very sad in my opinion.

Unlike other majority groups, whites and heterosexuals, there are real issues that affect men differently than women and other concerns where an all-male environment can be helpful. Although this type of bigotry/bias is discouraging and disappointing, it doesn't negate the concept of "male privilege." Just as it is wrong to say that men's groups are really just ways to exclude or even hate women, it is as wrong to say that resistance to these groups demonstrates male privilege is non-existent.
