If we have to give them protection when it all burns, we lost.
Let me explain.
Imagine you're a race car driver and the person at the back of the grid cuts all the way to the front, openly cheating for the whole race. Taking people out, cutting corners, tampering with the other competitors' cars etc etc.
When they get caught, their punishment is just to return to the back of the pack and nothing else.
That wouldn't be fair in sport and it isn't fair here. We need to allow their failure to put them in an objectively worse position than when they started.
Their need for protection is a bargaining chip. We can certainly use it to put them in a worse off position, although I'd be more concerned about improving the lot of men and boys and preventing women from pulling this crap again. But then again collective punishment is the bread and butter of feminism, so I wouldn't be against applying it to a privileged caste for a change.

I never found a way to properly explain my beliefs before that analogy. It's perfect.
I think that we have to make sure they lose out heavily if we want to avoid treading this path again in future generations.
