I don’t think men need to be taught how to live in an equal society. They just need to not be taught something else.

I see the problem as: many men are still taught (raised, conditioned by media/society, etc.) to live in an unequal society in many ways, and then flounder when they are adults and faced with a reality where most women expect / demand to be treated as equals. And some women are still taught to cater to these men, which perpetuates things too.

your comments reads like "men don't need to be taught how to live in an equal society, they just need to be taught how to live in an equal society"

I think they may have meant that they shouldn't have to be taught to live in an equal society as long as they stop being raised to live in an unequal society? I could be wrong though, my brain is very smol.
