It isn't about "worthiness" it's about power balance which is still in favour of men literally everywhere.
Appointing a "minister for men" would be like appointing a "minister for abled people" to "balance" the fact that there is a "minister for disabled people", completely ignoring the reasons we have that minister in the first place - the vast imbalance that already exists in society.
Having a women's (and equalities, a part those fighting for this bullshit conveniently like to drop from the title) minister isn't an imbalance it is an attempt at trying to gain a balance that hasn't yet existed in our modern societies (as oppose to "female superiority" which is another bullshit strawman those for this nonsense have made up).
This whole thing is a monument to male entitlement - never mind why something isn't centred around them, everything must be, no matter what!!!
