The history of riots and how effective they quite often are in leading to change begs to differ, as does the BLM movement.

A lot of younger men do not support equality (except perhaps in theory) because they see it in a zero-sum way and view that as taking something away from them. They also frequently fail to recognize all the ways that women are still deeply marginalized and suffering from things like ubiquitous sexual violence.

The UK-based anti-extremism charity HOPE not hate released a new report on Monday that found half of the young men surveyed believe feminism "has gone too far and makes it harder for men to succeed."
Despite the perceptions of young men surveyed, critics would argue that feminism has not gone far enough in the UK. The UK now ranks 21st on the World Economic Forum’s Gender Equality Index. Women in the country remain underrepresented in politics, and the gender pay gap is not narrowing.
Furthermore, the economic crisis spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting women much harder than men as they’re more likely to hold jobs in industries impacted by the crisis. The pandemic is also causing a spike in domestic violence cases while women are trapped at home with their abusers.
Although the survey represented a widespread belief that feminism is at the expense of men, gender equality actually improves men’s lives. The World Health Organization found that in 41 European countries, men’s health was weaker in more gender-unequal societies. Men also report they are more satisfied with life when women have more rights."
I believe in actual system change when I see it. I'm not holding my breath.
