Just photographed a gender reveal. I’m a photographer obviously, and the baby was a boy. When I joked that it must have been an omen that it was a boy because today is international men’s day I heard scuffs inside visible eye rolls and one lady said, isn’t every day men’s day? Wtf…

Dont worry I got the same reaction from my Mrs when I mentioned international mens day. She rolled her eyes and made me feel like I was just a bitter man for even mentioning it.

Don’t let technology fool you, we’re still living in the dark ages

Every single reaction I've ever had from women about "men's day" has been "isn't everyday mens day"

And that was that. Nothing further is ever done or mentioned.

While women seem to use "women's day" to let female colleagues either get free lunches, cakes, food or the worst a half day off. Outside the office and reddit however I've never seen it mentioned.

Don't worry about it.

If I have to be honest, I personal don't care about men's day, women's day, or any of these "days". I just find the whole thing silly. I never tell anyone " happy xxx day". That said, it irritates me to see people who do take stock in these things not recognize or even have contempt for others' feelings.

Every day is "men are unworthy of a day" day.

auMatech · 2021-11-20T07:16:33+00:00

Every time a woman goes "EvErY dAy Is MeN's DaY" I answer: men-dying-more-in-the-workplace-day? Yeah, that's every day! Men-committing-80%-of-sucides-day? Yeah, that's every day. Men-getting-screwed-in-child-custody-day? Yeah that's every day.

It is a shit that this happened and obviously, if we are able to, questions need to be asked 'immediately' about such comments. If my mother had said that I might understand because in her generation (if she was still alive her age would be 97) it might have been true but a woman now.. I don't know... ??? under 30??? can have a good life without a man... so why is it a problem for these women and it clearly shows, despite my generalisation, that people are not thinking clearly/conceptually what is happening in their lives.

Misses-Misery · 2021-11-20T21:02:57+00:00

Lol what’s wrong with these women?!

nphyyy · 2021-11-20T15:25:19+00:00

"iSnT eVErY dAy mEnZ dAY??" i dunno Karen. im sure it's "mens day" when fathers have their children removed from them by the courts on the simple basis of being male. it's definitely "mens day" when men get assaulted by women, and told that they should have liked it, or that they're being a pussy. and it's absolutely mens day when people diminish mens issues with performative activism like "lEt mEn cRY" as if that's actually going to solve any of our social issues regarding their safety. yup. totes.

Stay strong. There’s a war on masculinity right now. It’s evil.

PokeIt101 · 2021-11-20T12:49:37+00:00

If tell them to fuck off

Crooklar · 2021-11-20T15:09:23+00:00

I got this reaction at work…

I may say, “happy international mens day” every day now on our morning shouts.

Jackfroth111 · 2021-11-20T15:14:20+00:00

It’s because Men do all the hard work and have never asked for anything but respect. We owe our Men total respect

I agree that lady was rude and annoying but it seems that you don't understand why they feel that way. I highly doubt no one has ever tried to fill you in but i'm in the right mood so if this is an explanation to the void than so be it. Things like celebrating womens day exist to empower historically marginalized groups, especially those who suffered far more than or were made to suffer by comparable groups. It's a token way of saying, we aknowlege the struggles you faced and face. People are annoyed by mens day for the same reason they would be annoyed by white history month.

ZS_1171 · 2021-11-20T16:35:34+00:00

WTF??

blinman94 · 2021-11-20T08:12:32+00:00

She is right though. It is every day. ;)
