The tweet has generated several reactions on social media, with many commending the actor for promoting gender equality. Some users also shared their personal experiences, citing instances where they were discriminated against based on their gender.

Gender inequality is a pervasive issue in many societies, with many people still subscribing to traditional gender roles and stereotypes. Girls are often denied opportunities to pursue education and careers, while boys are expected to conform to toxic masculine ideals.

The United Nations has recognized gender equality as a fundamental human right and has called for an end to all forms of discrimination based on gender. Efforts have been made to promote gender equality, including the implementation of policies and programs aimed at empowering women and girls.
