International mens day

Re: International mens day

There are millions of people around the world without basic sanitation needs. India is in a dreadful mess (pun intended) due to a lack of Toilets.

Totally agree but there are 365 days in a year and they could have picked one that is not already allocated .

Re: International mens day

International men's day is an offensive terminology and a tough one to tackle

The UN has
Women's day but no mens day
Widows Day but no Widowers day
Girl guides day but no Boy Scouts day
And they have a equality day
Although they do not have a international mens day they do post a message on the day.

Happy International Men's Day to all the male allies around the world who support women, defy gender roles, fight gender-based violence & stand up for equality.
UN Women invites everyone, everywhere, to support #GenerationEquality. https://unwomen.org/en


Why men who support women? On women’s day they don’t say happy women’s day to all women who support men. If you want gender equality treat all genders equally.

And I hope nobody thinks I am against women or having women's day, it is just that if you want equality then you yourself should show equality

I'd have thought there's an international something day every day.

No there are still plenty of free days although they do on occasion have two international days on the same day.

Re: International mens day

International Men's Day is like having International White People's Day. Redundant.

Check out this scheme:

A simple and practical idea.

I tend to agree

I think bringing awareness to say male suicide is very important but an international day does sound like a load of white people shouting ....all lives matter !

It's going right over their heads

Re: International mens day

The UN has

Women's day but no mens day...

If you really want to even things up, maybe start by denying men the vote for the next couple of hundred years. Then go from there....

Not trying to even things up just saying if they want to have these days then include everyone and more important actually do something with them, some of the days are just plain stupid.

Hello is there anything going on upstairs ?

With comments like "If you say you are British these days they throw you in jail", I doubt it.

Re: International mens day

Do you have to say it three times? Or will just the once do it?

If you say you are British these days they throw you in Jail
