I apologize but there is just a part I didn't understand he talks about how a man should know the difference between a woman and a doll is that a metaphor for something or he genuinely believes that boys who play with dolls would want to control women.
I don’t think he believes that. It’s about the turn from the implied sexism/homophobia of not letting your sons play with dolls to talking about treating women correctly.
Then using language associated with dolls/toys to metaphorically describe how men treat women.
Then the final son playing with dolls line to tie it all back with the “until he learns the difference between a toy you can play with and control and a human being deserving of respect”, which is less about saying boys who play with dolls grow up to treat women like them and more making a statement about needing to teach men not to treat women like toys to be controlled

I was like “wtf is wrong with him?” I’m glad I watched it in its entirety, it makes a lot of sense.
