19 November is the #InternationalMensDay ! Make the day about men's issues and men's rights. Talk about:
The education of boys, the gender health gap and shorter life expectency, the lack of domestic violence, sexual abuse services for male victims, the bias in criminal and family courts, misandry in the media and other areas where men and boys are disadvantaged.
Avoid talking about women's rights. i see a lot of women's organizations making events on #InternationalMensDay about "male allies" and what men should do for women !
Dear women, don't be selfish ! this day is not about you. it's not about what men can do for you but what you women and girls can do for men and boys.

No, it isn't. Stop with the bs strawmen. Put your energy in that instead. That's a more than valid issue that needs attention.
But the date of a day? Introduced by a dude whose father's birthday was on that day? You gotta be kidding. Did you even read how the dates of those days came about? Apparently not. Men's Day was there before Toilet Day. Seriously dude, check your priorities (and reading comprehension). Fight for men's rights and help ease those issues. Don't bitch about some inconsequential scandal you pulled out of your ass. Don't waste your time and energy with shit like that.

Why MY attention? I don't have the time or resources to help these people, I barely stay afloat myself. You know who could help with that though? Perhaps a massive international non-profit organisation funded from my tax money... like the UN maybe? Oh wait, the UN just failed in this regard. They also failed to create representation for men (despite making up 50% of the population), while giving representation to women (UN Women).
Do you know what SYMBOLISM is? Do you know what a GESTURE is? Are you really this slow, or are you deliberately acting stupid?
Here, let me spell it out for you. In isolation I don't give a crap that the UN doesn't have men's day - if they did stuff to help men, I would be happy. And conversely, if ALL THEY DID was acknowledge men's day, and then did nothing to help men, I would be dissatisfied with them, and would feel that they are hypocrites, celebrating men's day, yet not caring about men.
But they don't even do that. They DELIBERATELY ignore men's day year after year, and place toilet day on the date that everyone else acknowledges men's day. Oh, and then they tweet out this on men's day: picture
They add insult to injury by only celebrating men who are allies to women?! As in, men's value is in how much they can help women, and even on their own celebratory day they are only worthy of celebration if they are of use to women.
Again. It costs NOTHING to put "international men's day" in a calendar. It costs NOTHING to tweet out "Happy men's day to all men around the world". It's a zero effort action that can only bring positive PR. The only reason a massive corporation like the UN would not do it, despite being called out on it year after year after year, is spite. There's no other explanation.
I know that. How is this relevant? It just reinforces my case that the UN deliberately takes a shit on men's head every year.
Hey, let me help you with that. mAn uP yOu pUsSy!!!
Is this what you meant?
Because this is a men's rights issue. Getting the UN to acknowledge the suffering of men is absolutely a men's rights issue.
Do you even have any credentials in terms of advocating for men's rights and issues? Because to me you sound like you don't really care about men, and are just putting on a facade. Seriously, what issues affecting men ARE you passionate about? I'm genuinely curious.
