Although, I'm not sure I have everything right, I'm open to hear counter-arguments if they're not dismissive.
(I might point to exceptions like "men are bad caregivers" which do cause harm, or "men can't do housework/relationship work/etc" which are bad for non-men as much as men, although I've also heard emphatic arguments that there shouldn't be exceptions.)

I was pretty sure you wouldn't got for (a), I wondered if you might go for (b), but you chose (c) instead. Noted.
