As as man you are expected by society to keep a stiff upper lip and not complain. Some feminists even use this to their rhetorical advantage, ie 'whiny men'.

The problem is that as long as sexism is allowed to flourish on one side, it will never be addressed in any meaningful fashion because society will just see it as normal regardless of which direction it goes. A set of expectations for one gender requires a set of expectations for the other.
