I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt here. It feels like this comment is coming from a place of frustration that many men share.

I have been considering the number of men incarcerated(and for how long), I think of the number of men killed in wars and I think about the number of men who are homeless(compared to women) and lastly I think about male suicide rates (due to lack of perceived value by society)
These are all things I think are true. I have heard many claim feminism is about equality but I have not seen feminism talk about any of these issues, except for maybe some offhand comment about the patriarchy or toxic masculinity. It feels dishonest and borderline gaslighting.
I think the more honest take is feminism is about fixing the inequalities women face. To fix the problems men face, men need their own positive movement. Otherwise the Andrew Tate's and other right wing grifters will swallow them up.
I am cautiously optimistic. I feel like small scale groups talking about it, whether it is message boards like this or slack/discord groups is the best way. In large groups like reddit, the few toxic extremists tend to poison the discussion.
