Should a company offer additional employment opportunities or incentives to minority groups that are not adequately represented in the company?
If a company consists of 40% male workers and 60% female workers, should the company give preferential treatment to future male applicants over female applicants?

Not sure if these two are logically equivalent for your purpose, but here goes:

Should men have a right to bodily autonomy?
Should men have to pay child support?

The point that if men have to pay child support, they have to work for that money and thus do not have bodily autonomy.

What is the percentage of arrested rapists that are convicted and sent to jail? If you're asking "out of rapes known" it's 24%. If you're asking out of convictions, its 75%. If you're asking out of all projected rapes, known and unknown, its 12%.

What percentage of people raped are men? If rape means "penetrative" and you include prison statistics and disregard unknown and unreported, you get 32%. If you include unknown and suspected, you get 73%. If you include "enveloping" with those both, you get 73% (no one has ever attempted to guess how many women rape men. It's not often reported, maybe 1 out of 100 thousand). If add gender to that, you would get 98% of men who are victims are victims of other men.

What percentage of people who have been drafted in the last 10 years? If you disregard stop-loss, and reserve component, it's 0%.

What percentage of suicides do men make up? If you remove attempted suicide, you get 72%. If you include attempted suicide, you get 43%

I'm not giving sources, go do your own work. It's all easily verifiable.

Should children have the right to body integrity? Should circumcision of boys be illegal?

This is the same question framed differently. I bet they get two completely different answers.

Edit: Changed wording do the answers correspond better.

In most cases you can ask a similar question and just replace female with male or vice versa. Such as, "Should women get leave from work after the birth of a child?" versus "Should men get leave from work after the birth of a child?"

Both are logically valid and equivalent, and imply the same answer when read in an egalitarian manner. However, most people will reply yes to the first while no the second.

It's society that shapes most answers to this sort of question. Also, make sure you get stats to back up the logical equivalency of your questions because I don't think your prof, partner or classmates will believe you. Be aware that covering such a topic could cause some enmity.

I'm sure these stats could come in handy for some questions lke there is a incident of doemsstic violence who is the victim?

Maybe also this(Our results indicate that women receive more lenient sentences even after controlling for circumstances such as the severity of the offense and past criminal history. ) about criminal sentencing, EG. 2 people commit a crime who gets a longer sentence?
