Based on what you write, you (and the other men you write about) may well have an employment harassment/discriminaton complaint and should speak to the federal EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) and/or your state's equal/civil rights agency about filing a complaint. It is illegal to discriminate against employees or harass them due to their sex--i.e. you can't discriminate against men because they are men, the exact same you cannot discriminate against women because they are women. When employers allow discriminatory or harassing conduct, the employer becomes liable. You describe anti-male comments by a manager, which are evidently allowed; and also retaliation (hours being cut) for bringing discrimination/harassment to management's attention--which is also illegal: employers may not retaliate for bring discriminatory complaints.
