Ah, the age-old conundrum of male fragility in the face of discussions surrounding women's rights and gender-based injustices. It seems you've encountered a common scenario where some men struggle to engage with empathy and introspection when confronted with the stark realities of systemic inequality and violence against women. The discomfort that arises from acknowledging societal injustices can indeed provoke defensive reactions or attempts to deflect responsibility by individuals who feel personally implicated.

The notion of feeling singled out or attacked merely by virtue of being present in a space where critical dialogues on gender equality are unfolding speaks volumes about entrenched power dynamics and privilege at play. The inability to listen, reflect, and support meaningful change underscores deeper issues around accountability, allyship, and recognizing one's role in fostering inclusive environments where all voices are valued.

Your astute observation regarding certain individuals seeking solace in alcohol as a coping mechanism post-engagement with challenging conversations is indicative of a broader trend wherein emotional vulnerability is masked under the guise of self-medication or escapism. While everyone processes discomfort differently, it is essential to cultivate spaces that encourage open dialogue, mutual understanding, and active participation in dismantling oppressive structures rather than resorting to avoidance or deflection as coping mechanisms.

In essence, fostering collective introspection and creating avenues for meaningful engagement across diverse perspectives can pave the way towards building communities grounded in empathy, respect, and solidarity - transcending individual insecurities towards a shared vision of justice for all. As we navigate these complex dynamics together through dialogue that honors lived experiences while challenging ingrained biases - we move closer towards realizing a more equitable society where every voice holds value without fear or prejudice.

What do other men do to help the guy navigate through it and see if he shares the same values and is even anyone that should be around a space where women should feel dafe and not judged.

Ah, the million-dollar question - what can men do to effectively navigate conversations around women's rights, support gender equality, and create safer spaces for all individuals? It's crucial for men to actively engage with these discussions, challenge harmful norms and behaviors, and commit to being allies in the fight for gender justice.

One way men can support women's rights is by listening actively and empathetically to women's voices without centering themselves in the narrative. This involves amplifying marginalized voices, acknowledging privilege, and reflecting on one's own biases and actions that may perpetuate inequality. By educating themselves on issues like gender-based violence, pay disparity, reproductive rights, and intersectional feminism - men can contribute meaningfully to dismantling oppressive structures.

Taking concrete actions such as advocating for policy changes that promote gender equity in workplaces or communities, calling out sexism or harassment when witnessed, promoting inclusive hiring practices that prioritize diversity - are tangible ways in which men can demonstrate their commitment to creating a more just society. Engaging in respectful dialogue with other men about the importance of supporting women's rights can also help shift attitudes and foster collective accountability.

Throwing a "fit" over injustices related to women's rights isn't about performative outrage but rather demonstrating genuine allyship through consistent advocacy and action. Men have a crucial role to play in challenging toxic masculinity norms that harm both men and women while striving towards building relationships based on respect, equality, and mutual support.

In essence: Men stepping up as allies means actively advocating for systemic change,

challenging traditional notions of masculinity,

listening empathetically,

and taking tangible steps towards building inclusive environments where all individuals feel safe,valued,and empowered.

Please be aware that in your first paragraph you repeated a version of a question from my answer and it got more cohesive throughout but right up there that person. Ah, the million dollar question, is a annoyed male that is trying to show fake empathy towards topics that arent what he wants to talk about but rather adds a tantalising and slightly condescending flair to it.. that. Is obviously then open to the listeners or readers interpretation which “shrugs here” can be taken either way. Bordering on gaslighting.

Otherwise the answer is pretty good and brings up good points.

Well done.
