International Men’s Day is being ruined by ignorant women who seem intent on using it as an opportunity to highlight an inequality that isn’t even there.
There is, on November 19th. Its stated goals are to bring more awareness to issues men face, like suicide, abuse, homelessness, and violence. It also is for celebrating men’s lives, achievements, and contributions.
The joke (if you do need it explained) is Women’s Day without fail brings sexist men out of the woodwork. They bitterly complain about it, and whine that having such a day set aside just for women is discrimination, and that there should be a Men’s Day (totally either not realizing or not caring that such a day exists already).
That is the usual rejoinder we women give lol. Along with pointing out that maybe, instead of complaining about our day, these men could put their efforts towards increasing the awareness of Men’s Day (and I do feel it needs more awareness). But somehow they never do.
Thats because when we do, we do in fact, get a bunch of women coming in saying “but women have it worse”. Like its the worlds shittiest competition.
Reddit is horrible for it. Women claiming that men need to sort out their own shit. We try, and they call it toxic because its a group of men and no women. Like the men in sheds thing. It was supposed to be about men finding connections, because we apparently struggle with that. And a bunch of women started moaning about how they were being excluded. Some caved, and made it just another open to all thing. Which there already is plenty of.
Theres a lot of bad actors on the internet. And one the main targets of these people is dealing with mens issues.
Men’s day? I didn’t know there was one. Wait… is that the joke? I’m confused.

Wow. Yeah. So. I honestly didn’t know there was a day. And I was unaware of the joke as a result, I guess. How obnoxious though!
Every day is men’s day it would seem. And women should get more than a day.

Totally agree. And as a man, I apologize and wish you didn’t have to endure that. We need to do better.
