Maybe the guy wants to "work together" with women to reverse the discrimination against, subjugation of and, particularly (although she did not mention it) violence against women that men have perpetrated for millennia, but he first needs to acknowledge that it is, indeed, men who have behaved that way, primarily to perpetuate their advantaged status. It's not due to "culture" or "the system" or some other disembodied force - those in power (i.e., white men) create, perpetuate and enforce the rules that govern our society, and those rules only change when those who don't benefit from them (i.e., women, and men of color) band together and force change.

The guy was totally correct, in both the history of sex roles and his in insistence on men and women working together going forward. But she wasn't interested in the truth, she just kept grinding her axe. Enjoy your 12 cats, lady
