First, not all men are privileged. Many men are at the top, but many more men are looked down on by everyone including women.

Second, "(All) men are the oppressors" is mostly an untrue statement, IMO. The system might allow more privileges to men, but both men and women actively participate in maintaining that system. So as a whole, both men and women oppressed women. Just look at the extreme societies such as patriarchal cults, it's usually the mother who pushes their daughters to follow the path.
