Literally yes. It's called punching up, and it's pretty well accepted, culturally. It's basically the only trade-off to being vastly more likely to achieve economic and societal status.
And you think that's helpful?
We're not talking about an enslaved group here, but women. Yes, disadvantaged in many areas, but far from being universally inferior in every aspect. If I'm punching up, you know, who I hit? Several women. Hell, my chancellor has been a woman for literally the majority of my life.
Again, what does this achieve? Hostility of those who don't want to be put on the same level as rapists. Instead of blaming the very real predators for their very real crimes, they're blaming every man for being a man. That's not punching up.
You're doing that thing where you accuse black people of being lazy because you were poor once but managed to work hard and find a good job.
In society, women are beneath men. Would you care to argue they're not?
Why do you keep self-including into bizarre categories like this?
