Exactly, for the purpose of explanation, not for the purpose of declaring equivalence.

This is a straw man, I never claimed that talking about men's issues diminishes women's issues. It's the when and how and intent. If I jump into an already running conversation saying "pay attention to my issues" people won't pay attention to me and may think I'm trying to hijack the conversation. Instead I wait until a natural place to join the conversation where my experiences contribute rather than distract.
