there is 99.99% likelihood that they are themselves guilty of the kind of gender-based stereotyping and ossification of gender roles that they are complaining about.
Why?
Because it perpetrates the stereotype that men shouldn't complain. To suggest it is "boyish" or "unmanly" is to be what you deride in others.
So, ladies and gents, check yerself before you wreck herself.

Which basically frees them to discriminate as much as they wish while simultaneously condemning sex based discrimination and at least in their own mind not be a blatant hypocrite.
