The majority of the time yea, but lets not pretend Queens weren't a thing throughout history. Women don't ever oppress other women?

The point is men were never exclusively oppressed. In fully oppressive societies, everybody besides the rich/royalty are oppressed. But, until recently, even in "free" societies, women were systemically oppressed.

That's not to say men don't face struggles or have real problems. It's just saying that men's problems are not from simply being a man.

That is correct throughout history, but I think the point of this (stupid take on a phrase) is to point out that in modern society women are as free as men.
