This is what feminists mean by ~the patriarchry~. It's not ~evil men~ doing horrible, unspeakable things to ~oppress womenz~, it's just a lot of fairly normal, but jerky, men using their positions of power - whatever those positions are or however they got them - in little annoying ways to make women's lives a little bit (or a lot) worse than theirs. It's the double standards like this that women see all the time.
It's not a ~giant conspiracy~ all men are in on, it's just a lot of individual dumb men being dicks to women as a sex, because of our sex, because they can. Because they want what they want and don't care if it hurts women, because we aren't really people. We give it a fancy title because people need to be able to call these individual, but very similar, actions by different individuals something.
So most women can't have nice things because some men are assholes.
