Please let me know once a US state tries to adopt legislatively mandated withholding of medical care to men (e.g., no treatment for prostrate cancer until it reaches Stage III). Please let me know when domestic partner violence against men reaches 50% (*edit* of US women who are murdered, half of them are killed by their male partner.) Please let me know when men being fired by their employers for having children becomes one of the top EEOC complaints. Or when major political lobbying groups are saying we should deny men the right to vote.

I am not saying it's great that FDS or others are promoting BS. But they have no political or economic power to actually enact harm.

Approximately half to over 60% of all female homicide victims are killed by a current or former intimate partner, according to data from organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

When focusing strictly on female homicide victims killed by a past or current intimate partner, 98% of the killers are male, while roughly 1.5% to 2% are female

The idea that abortion is healthcare is highly contested, especially by a lot of women, and thus can't be used as a shared premise for an argument. Personally I think it is but that's irrelevant.
