I don't know what he's trying to say here, but the issue of gender inequality is about an oppressive class system (the patriarchy). When you belong to an oppressive class, you share in the guilt and also the responsibility of using your privileged position to dismantle the system https://twitter.com/MrOdanz/status/1380416752274837505
Nigerian men who have failed to pick up a book have inserted themselves into conversations about misogyny and are using their anecdotal experiences to form their general philosophy. This is faux and reactionary as they mostly mock and parody women who are speaking out about ...
oppression. But the truth is; Men do not suffer gender based oppression, women do.

The "society" he keeps referring to is the patriarchal culture and toxic masculinity which also harms men.

*Men are not supposed to be vulnerable. Why ?
* Men are expected to be superhuman. ???
These tropes were brought about in men's efforts to shun femininity and subjugate women. YES!!! Men we did this to ourselves.

Hence, #InternationalMensDay should be about more men coming together to dismantle the patriarchy and renouncing toxic masculinity - becoming feminist.
Also, He mentioned something about how there are "millions of organizations/individuals dedicated to helping women" so we should be more concerned about helping men. 🤦 The irony. Men have historically been more concerned with helping other men advance and have power over women.
Actually, those organizations were created because people saw the need for diversity and bringing women into male dominated spaces. So far, their work have only scratched the surface. Women do not now have more advantages over men, No! Men still have the upper hand.
For context, I invite everyone to look at this thread. These are just discriminatory legislation against women and after almost a year there's still more material https://twitter.com/a_nickabugu/status/1264295256473964545?s=19
