A friend of mine is arguing with me saying cishet men are oppressed and stuff. He thinks I'm insane for supporting the community I'm a part of

That's just ridiculous. While men do experience unfair discrimination in some areas, in no way does that rise to the level of "oppression and stuff." LGBTQ+ people's experience includes many more discriminations and obstacles and outright dangers.

Althought it's not a contest, people with a much greater need should have their situations remedied with greater haste and attention. Even with that in mind, it's okay to ideally want everyone's troubles to be relieved. You (not you personally, the generic "you") still have to prioritize efforts in practice.
