He won't because then his "argument" wouldn't work the same way, where the fight for women's equality is equated to the fight for animals rights. Then, his anecdotal evidence of "the same thing happening to males" could not be used to counter what is in any way, shape or form a systemic problem for women in technology. Additionally, his "argument" builds on the false dichotomy of men's/women's rights, whereas men supposedly need a lobby to protect them from feminist advances. The idea is the same as talking about animal rights and somehow decrying the lack of engagement in butchers rights to counter any advances made.
It's a typically deflective move that only serves to steer away from addressing the actual underlying problems (and is very much a symptom of the very same structures). If he were to see this as a question of human rights (which it is, or at the very least ought to be), men's rights wouldn't be separable from women's rights, simply because they fundamentally dissolve in a concern for overall equality.
I just simply think those people who always talk about a specific gender’s rights in fact are helping to create more and more distance between two genders in the tech world.
Dismissing these discussions and ignoring your male privilege actually creates more distance between genders. If we ignore it things will continue idly on their course. Everyone needs to talk about it for any sort of fundamental change.
