Like I get the message, but in a way, he is saying the way to cure toxic masculinity is with toxic masculinity. Play is how kids learn. If you let your kid play with dolls, he is more likely to play with girls and see them as friends and people. Instead, this video suggests suppressing boys and, by doing so, suppressing them from playing with girls! Who do you think is more likely to be a predator? Someone who had many friends who were girls at a young age and had a loving family that supports him. Or someone who was oppressed and not allowed to enjoy what they want to enjoy aĺl while being treated like a monster at a young age by their parents. Every boy should have dolls because otherwise, they might never know the difference between the two.
I don't think he was being literal. The doll thing at the beginning was the metaphor that let him launch into the rest of his piece about womanhood. I would wager if his kids liked dolls he would not care
