Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry
I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people
I would disagree that the people you are talking about are actually progressive. This narrative that men are oppressed / have it hardest usually comes from a right wing background.
“Misandry” and “Androphobia” do exist. But the problem they pose to society is questionable. There are many reasons why somebody would be androphobic and if a woman crossed the street because I was walking toward them I would not feel embarrassed or upset, I would understand.

Misandry and Androphobia do not require ‘oppression’ to exist, in the same way that a man being eaten by a shark is still being eaten by a shark despite not being oppressed.
You can still be racist against ‘oppressors’ – you might have more of a reason for doing it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not racist.
Misandry means you dislike men for simply being men – not that men are oppressed.
Androphobia means you are afraid of men simply because they are men – not that men are oppressed.
