So shutting down discussions about women’s issues to put a focus on men is OK, but the reverse is not?
It is absolutely important for men to talk about their issues, we do face a lot of issues brought on by a stupid stereotype of what masculinity is supposed to be. We’re not helping anyone by silencing them though, nor do we help ourselves by pushing our cause over those of others.

My message eli5:
Derailing whataboutism = Stupid
Caring about other people’s issues while talking about yours = Good
