Men? Oppressed? Don't make me laugh, women are way more oppressed than any male currently is (excluding the son of Bin Laden).
Put on some lipstick and a skirt then walk down a street, tell me what you think after that.

In todays society men are a a lot more restricted than women when it comes to how they are able to behave and what they can wear etc. Ever heard the expression 'Don't cry like a little girl'? Women are allowed to be emotional because they are perceived, rather wrongly, as the 'weaker sex' meaning to establish a psychological balance men are brought up to be 'Strong'. In the end sexism works both ways and restricts both parties yet there is a lot more stigma attached to being a man acting as a woman than there is vice versa.

PS: It should be obvious but my argument only applies to the western world. In the vast majority of the human race I agree that woman are still vastly more oppressed than men.
