You hit a key point that is never acknowledged in these circles. It's a tough sell asking men to happily step down from positions they've occupied for many years (that is, if we are talking strictly about men in positions of power). I don't think publicly vilifying straight, white men (the trifecta of oppression) is an effective way to do that. It will likely drive them further away. Even the few times it has happened (diversification of workplaces etc.), it's all done in the name of performativity. Men are just replaced by someone else who follows the same rulebook. How is that an effective way to change...anything? Progressives talk about *systems* change all the time. This isn't that. (And I do agree we are in desperate need of a systems change).

What is so often missing from these conversations is socioeconomic status. Poor, white men very much exist too, but for some reason we conveniently lump all men in a neat little box. Funny how we do that with this specific group, but with other groups we must handle with kid gloves, and avoid ever generalizing, lest we risk public condemnation.
