I'm not sure what you mean by "the American academy" but modern feminism has a lot to say about the negative effects of the patriarchy on men. One major example of this is the way men are pressured to work certain jobs rather than others, or to not seek help for physical or especially emotional problems.
Saying that men cannot be oppressed because they are the oppressors seems to come out mostly from MRA strawman talking points.
