Honestly, I know you mean we'll but I find statements like this extremely dangerous and damaging.
There isn't some 'international council of men' that could collectively sort anything out. Ideas like blaming the whole gender is part of the reason why we have a rise in far-right sentiment among young men, as it's easy to feel like the world is against you for things that you personally have no say in. Young men (just like anyone else) need support, and not to be blamed for bad-behavior of others!
Instead it's up to those of us (the vast majority) who don't represent toxic masculinity to set a compassionate example
I'm skeptical that this is at all true, but it's not about being granted the job, but rather getting past the initial HR filtering and actually getting the chance to talk to a human.
