I’ll be content when we see moral protest against gender roles on both ends of the spectrum, which I feel is quite lacking in the daily conversation. Right now it’s just more about women wanting powerful roles

this comment is a bit problematic because it implies that men are treated worse than women in society when that's completely the opposite

i don't know if that's exactly what you mean but that's what it's implying

It's literally just stating the obvious that men have problems too. Show me where he said or implied that men have it worse than women?

Ok but he literally doesn't mention women in the bit you've highlighted. He just mentions that life as a man isn't always perfect. These two ideas aren't mutually exclusive:

Life isn't always a walk in the park for men.
There are institutional biases that make life even more difficult for women as it is for men.

Both can be true.

what??? No

Holy fk like if it’s only about priority then why are we discussing feminism at all and why aren’t we assuming all our efforts going to Africa and ending poverty and famine? Like I’m sure they have it worse there than anywhere in the world

Being a man in society has its lavish list of benefits, but also it’s downfalls, same for the other gender too, maybe one has it worse than the other, does that not mean the other side of the coin warrants discussion?
