120. I really dislike that framing.
The reason is there's a message that can be read into it, even though it's probably not intended, that if men just do X, Y, and Z, then they will have kind of earned the right to have access to our bodies. If they do this, then they get that.

Men should fight against misogyny just because it's the ethical thing to do. And if we ever achieve equal rights and respect - and we STILL don't feel like letting them have access to our bodies, we shouldn't have to take any grief for that, and they shouldn't feel like they got a bad deal in some way. They manage to fight for everyone else's rights without feeling like that person owes them an orgasm in return.
