A recent thread on Somersoft showing a video of a woman getting unsolicited attention on the streets of New York was framed as showing we still have a way to go for gender equality. But this is what happened when a man did the same thing for 3 hours (link skips intro):

(Though I'll readily admit the woman gets the most aggressive attention, those following her for a few minutes. I wonder if the man would have found the same if walking for 10 hours instead of 3.)
& another I posted in the last thread (though this is a man with another point of difference): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD_PWU6K514
I think society focuses so specifically on women's inequality issues (which are important) that men's issues are often overlooked.
Even when gender equality was the topic of a speech at the UN, Emma Watson appears to not have spoken with men about their most important issues (if you don't have time for a 30 minute clip, then watch for 10 minutes from the 12 minute mark):

Having a sense of humour I thought this parody version of the NYC walk was pretty funny:
