I've been asked to appear in a video to discuss feminism and men's rights.

Anytime a man prevents a woman from doing something herself, he is taking away her agency. Men need to stop responding to women who ask for help 'because they are a girl'.
Most men already value the women in their lives and believe that men and women should be equal. Attempting to force a label on men will probably be counter productive.
Feminism is about gender equality, having all feminists focus on women's issues is not equality, so some feminists need to focus on men's issues. Men are probably more familiar with men's issue's so it makes sense for them to advocate for men.
Sexual assault is not a gender issue. All gender suffer from sexual assaults, and all genders commit sexual assaults. All perpetrators should be held accountable and all victims should be cared for.
The behavior of an individual can't be extrapolated to the rest of society especially when they are a celebrity. Celebrities lives are quite different to most people's experience.
Gender inequality will always exist to some extant because men and women are different from birth. The important thing is to focus on equal opportunities for everyone and not equal outcomes.
That's a question for the experts.
Yes. Women now outnumber men in education, but there is no effort to get to 50/50 as there was when men outnumbered women. In fact there are no men only scholarships, but plenty for women.

Have you stopped beating your wife?

These questions assume the feminist point of view.

They assume that men objectify women, that men will accept feminism if you "educate" them, that men have a moral responsibility to support feminism.

If they were balanced they would first ask IF men objectify women, IF men should be educated about feminism, IF men have any responsibility to support feminism.

You aren't going to achieve much with such one-sided questions. I would simply not participate. Their conclusions are already obvious.

If you insist on participating

How do men objectify woman on a daily basis?

By accepting feminist dogma.

Nobody objectifies women quite as well as feminists do. They treat women as though they have no agency. Someone else should always be made responsible for any negative effects of a woman's choices.

How can men educate other men on feminism?

By pointing out the clear flaws in patriarchy theory and concepts like rape culture and male privilege.

What is the "male” role in feminism?

The villain

for 4, you should bring up the fact that in a least two states (Kansas and California), male statutory rape victims have to pay child support to their aggressors. no joke.

in the California appellate case, they quoted the assistant DA as saying "I guess he thought he was a man then. Now he prefers to be a boy."

Imagine a court official saying something similar about a minor girl. .

I would suggest that you ask to be a part of the editing process, and to see the "final" cut before they officially turn it in. Judging by the way these questions are formed I'm skeptical, and am going to assume that they're trying "framing" and "priming" tactics often employed by the media (which is to get their audience to draw a certain conclusion, often achieved with questionable statistics or limited perspectives representing the issues, without outright saying it.)

Jian Ghomeshi is the perfect example of a male feminist.
