What planet are you on? The whole social system is geared towards supporting men. 70% of the U.S. government is men. Most companies are owned by men. Most of the C-suite of most companies are men. Most engineers, doctors, lawyers, investors, and all other desirable, high-paying jobs are dominated by men. Just look around.

I'm betting OP is talking about supporting men emotionally, or generally supporting mens' well being.

Everything you listed is correct, but I think both of your statements can be true. Men aren't in need of societal advantages, but they are in need of some societal support. And that doesn't have to compete with very real things women require either.

If OP is talking about a broad social system to support men emotionally, then no, that doesn't exist in America. Nor does it exist for women, or minorities, or anyone else.

That’s not a social system, that’s a rat race of men fiercely competing against each other. There’s opportunity there, but not much psychological support.
