I can't stop poking the can of wriggling things! Sorry! I just feel the need to explain!
It's not that people don't care about the men, it's just that context matters. The context of course, is that we live in a society that still struggles with misogyny. There's not actually all that much misandry at a societal level, not in a way that's coded at men for being men...if only because "male" is our assumed normal. It's the starting point, against which everything else is differentiated.
It's the same as why dumb blonde jokes aren't considered to be in the same league of offensiveness as jokes about oh, black people. Blondes don't really face systemic discrimination (to say nothing of the too-recent history of slavery and lynchings and etc).
