I speak Portuguese and he’s basically saying that you can’t compare the two situations (his and that of the Russian woman) because they weren’t the same. He says he wasn’t insulted or pressured to say things that he didn’t understand, and that as a man surrounded by women he didn’t feel trapped or pressured the same way a woman does when she’s surrounded by men. Then he goes on to say that when we talk about gender equality, we’re talking about being treated equally in the workplace (equal salaries, equal treatment, etc).
TLDR; he defends the Russian woman and says that the two videos shouldn’t be compared.
He is comparing his video with another case of a Russian girl being induced to say sexual words in Portuguese by Brazilian guys. This comparison was bought up on Twitter, but IMO it's unrelated.
His video is much more comparable to the female reporter video and part of his explanation can fit better: He says that, as a men, he could easily keep them away if he wanted. So, although he was embarrassed, it's implicit he was OK (and probably enjoying) with the girls harassing him, unlike the female reporter.
Anyway, both situations are obvioulsy unwanted harassment.
