The problem with this argument is that the issues Dems speak to women about are unambiguously women's issues, and when you propose talking about issues like housing and childcare (come on) as men's issues specifically, you unavoidably imply that these challenges are easier for women. What's the actual proposal you're making? Ads about how men shouldn't feel bad about not being able to be providers in the face of these challenges?
I’d say Gary is arguing that Dems should more directly speak to men about these specific issues, in this way, because they’re the ones that greatly affect men. Not that they can’t talk about these issues to women or in general in a different frame, but when speaking to and persuading male voters, Dems should frame their message closer to this manner
But what does that mean, practically? I’ve read this exact article dozens of times with slight variations and there is never anything actionable in them. Ads? Speeches? Campaigns? Proposals of law?

There are a number of actionable items here. https://bringcostsdown.org/
Yes, there are, but they aren’t rhetorically tailored to men or boys so again I ask you what exactly you’re asking for in this article.
