Should We Be Celebrating International Men’s Day?

[Origanalist]

On 19th November it will be International Men’s Day (IMD). Many people will be left wondering why men need a special day, when every day could be considered male. These type of official days tend to acknowledge and celebrate the ‘underdog’, and so this November celebration may raise an eyebrow.

Yes, International Men’s Day Is a Thing

Every year on International Women’s Day, the internet gets flooded with men demanding to know when International Men’s Day is. Those men have apparently never taken the time to Google the question because the answer is today, November 19th.

The idea of a Men’s Day is complicated, since–much like the recent focus on Straight Pride Parades–a lot of the demand for one comes as a response to Women’s Day, without recognizing that International Women’s Day was born out of women’s marginalization at the hands of cis men.

It’s clear that when men demand to know about THEIR day on and only on a day dedicated to women, they don’t actually care.

We're men, we don't need to be invited.

Happy Men's Day to the RPF menfolk.


(sorry, it's the best I could do, last-minute.)
It's the thought that counts.

International? Sounds globalist. No thanks.

Hell, I don't need a day. I suspect Men's day was invented by a woman.

[Anti Globalist]

Didn't even know that day even existed.

Lol, I don't remember hearing about it before either.

I love men and celebrate them every day. I am not opposed to having a special day though.

I think we should do away with all "days".
Too many damn idiotic celebrations.

[Danke]

I propose that International Women's Day be removed and be replaced with International Boobies Day

Shakespeare’s Henry V is a man’s story about determination and heroism against incredible odds. Kenneth Branagh’s version can be found on Amazon Prime video. It is one of my favorite films—especially the St. Crispin’s Day speech.

Thanks, men, for being the providers, innovators, and defenders you are.

There’s no one way to be a man.

Men who get their periods are men.

Men who get pregnant and give birth are men.

Trans and non-binary men belong.#InternationalMensDay

Is the ACLU based in South Dakota, by chance?
