Hi! Thanks for not being a jerk.
I guess I'm confused about what people think SRS's position is supposed to be. If the position is whether privilege exists or not, or whether intersectionality is a thing, then they share a position. cojoco's comment seemed to be about how feminism deals with men, and that's what I had in mind.
SRS likes to circlejerk about how female privilege doesn't exist and how only women can be victims. Research into men's issues is totally a thing. I have a couple of anthologies at home with chapters discussing how men are oppressed by masculinity, the place of male voices within feminism, and male sexuality.
Inasmuch as SRS takes a stance on these things ("but what about the menz bloo bloo bloo?" etc.), this isn't reflected in what's published. bell hooks devotes more-than-token space to men's issues at various points. You've got chapters in Defending Our Dreams and Third Wave Feminism, ed. Gillis. Those both have plenty of references. There are lots and lots of other anthologies out there, but I can't vouch for them. I recently read a feminist piece on domestic violence committed by women against men. I'm out-of-state, or else I would pull stuff from my books. Hopefully, some less specific ones will have to do.
Men Doing Feminism is the go-to book. IIRC though, it's the target of some harsh criticism along the lines of "good idea, poor execution" in the Gillis anthology. I think I've heard of Rethinking Masculinity before. Maybe you think that academic feminists aren't discussing men's issues enough, but they are anything but hostile to them. Men's concerns and experiences are taken seriously. There's a ton of stuff out there, just do a Google search.
Beyond that, their concerns are so different that there is no distinctly SRS-ish opinion on issues in feminist theory. SRSers are in the business of pointing out specific instances of shitty things said on the internet. Theorists have higher aspirations. What positions were you thinking of?
Lots of SRSers are anti-essentialists. Gender realism is coming back in a big way, though now people are questioning whether there's a difference between the two (that is, the argument is only about whether there's a difference between realism and anti-realism when it comes to gender) (Sally Haslanger, Charlotte Witt [she maintains that she can remain silent on the realism/anti-realism question for the purposes she's got, but she gives the gender realists everything they could ask for]).
This is hard to do in a general way because I don't know which issues you're worried about or what you think "SRS's position" on them is.
