Women don't need men to empower them, they need them to not disenfranchise or stomp on them. Men need to find a way to validate their manhood that is not dependent on women. Better yet, they need to get away from the notion that their manhood needs any kind of validation, other than checking inside their pants for the presence of a penis for the most part, to be real in the first place. Transmen will have other methods and generally don't seem as fussed about it all as their cishet counterparts. Maybe cishet men should talk to them for pointers.
