It's an analogy, not a direct comparison. You're misinterpreting what was said and reacting to that.
His point is valid, trying to interject into a discussion and change the topic can definitely be viewed as an attempt to subvert or trivialize the topic, even if that's not the intent. Especially since that actually is a real tactic by some when women talk about sexual assault. Blame those that truly are trying to subvert or poison the discussion that it is viewed that way.
If I was trying to raise awareness about sexual assault on men, and I was going to start #mentoo discussion, I certainly wouldn't do it right after #metoo becomes prevalent, otherwise it looks like I'm trying to distract or diminish. I'd wait until there was space for it.
