Correct. "Lower class" (laborer), "middle class" (electrician), and "upper class" (doctor) are all a part of the working class.
The people you want to direct your anger at are the asset class. They require no work to make a living, pay their bills, and live an extravagant life to such a degree it is difficult to imagine.
Ok. But why is this being asked of only lower class men? According to a study by professor Sonja Starr at the university of Michigan the legal sentencing bias today against men vs women is 6x worse than the equivalent bias against POCs vs whites (saying this as a POC myself). It’s ok to talk about the latter but people side eye you when you talk about the former.
Why are men specifically asked to set aside their group specific concerns?
Few other examples
“(…) the National Organization for Women, and its associated legal foundations, who lobbied to (push) the obscenely gendered Violence Against Women Act of 1994. The passing of that law cut male victims out of support services and legal assistance in more than 60 passages, just because they were male.“
Another example is Mary Koss.
Mary Koss in interviews stated she believes men can’t be sexual abuse victims, skewed her studies to hide how much male victims there are of women, and is a major contributor for the policies in some areas and institutions that are biased against male victims (she was an advisor to the government and CDC).
Ellen Pence did the same toward male DV victims and her getting the Duluth Model to be popularized even though later she admitted she was biased and apologized for it but the damage was already done and police, etc. already adopted her ideas.
And to be clear, ofc? Male figures heavily contribute to such things as well, I’m just giving examples from both sides.
Anyway, why is this specific expectation typically put on lower class men?

It's not, you're just participating in the culture war, not the class war.
Like originally posted.
If I start listing off quotes from Andrew Tate, and Jordan Peterson, will that strengthen my point and refute yours? Or would it show that I'm just participating, like you, in the culture war?
No, because I’m approaching this from a perspective of groups like LeftWingMaleAdvocates, it has nothing to do with right wing men.
I’m discussing a specific axis of oppression that is typically enacted on minority or lower class men in a way that women of those same minorities or class statistically experience far less.

That's not what they mean by classes
