Good point; but in the "big picture" (that is, societally) men aren't appreciated for their "male attributes".
A good example would be the "male" tendency toward logical thinking; which is not appreciated in the societal realms it once was. Law, for example, is full of logical inconsistency, and to challenge this inconsistency you are often forced to do so as a defendant (a position of weakness) rather than allowed to challenge it as a peer — Example: New Mexico's State Constitution flatly prohibits counties and municipalities from restricting "an incident of the right to keep and bear arms", yet there are many county and municipal courthouses which prohibit weapons inside.
If men were only better at sympathizing!
