International men’s day today!

Battleship1239 · 2020-11-18T13:20:33+00:00

Lets take a few minutes to spread as much awareness as possible:

78.6% of suicides are male

for every 100 female workplace deaths, there are 1,160 male work deaths

every 1/4 men are victims of domestic abuse

every 3/4 homeless people are male

only 1/6 fathers win custody of their children

Male life expectancy is 4 years less than that of women

Happy International Men's Day🥳 (It's only 18th for me, I think I'll celebrate tomorrow)

Ight, so after people asking for sources, I'm gonna add them all one by one in order:

For the custody part, I'm on mobile so I can't like the census pdf file (sorry) so if you google "what percentage of fathers get custody of their children" the cencus pdf should appear towards the top (again, sorry about this one)

Life Expectancy

Giga-Chad-Here · 2020-11-18T13:05:06+00:00

My work is actually celebrating it which is pretty cool, has a bunch of events lined up to raise awareness of men’s health and mental health

Sleepy_Moon_Bear · 2020-11-18T13:15:58+00:00

I can't wait to see today's Google logo, masses marching in the street saying we need more equality, bloggers explaining how feminism is oppressive, and actual action being taken!

...oh :(

sub2Doggs4Life · 2020-11-18T12:19:01+00:00

It’s actually tomorrow but yeah it’s a definitely a good day to spread awareness about mens’ issues

Gigaplex1 · 2020-11-18T12:56:45+00:00

and don't forget that there will be tons of
"Hm, today is international Men's Day and World Toilet day. Coincidence? I think not, haha"

Roary93 · 2020-11-18T13:02:52+00:00

What the fuck???????? I never knew anything about whether or not it was real. Literally 20 minutes ago I was thinking about how there probably isn’t a men’s day, then this pops up. Freaky.

S00rabh · 2020-11-18T13:41:08+00:00

I be honest, so far I have received Hapy men's day greeting from a few women already. Surprised Pikachu face

ant1stalker · 2020-11-18T12:34:52+00:00

Damn. I missed it doing errands for my wife She humiliates and degrades me if I don't do my manly chores..

Haha.. nah just kidding. I got rid of that baggage a long time ago as you should too if she is making you ill and depressed for being what God naturally created you to be.

Despite the heavy uphill battle with many more hills to go... Congrats men for making strides.

Kwarntnd · 2020-11-18T13:53:58+00:00

Well Australia just handed out free cash to women, so its starting out as expected.

Elfere · 2020-11-18T14:15:52+00:00

Can we get a good statistics page of all the bs issues men face - that clearly is not addressed by society.

CheapOpposite · 2020-11-18T15:25:35+00:00

What did I get for men’s day?

a still circumcised penis. Fuck you, doctor.

MezzaCorux · 2020-11-18T16:21:51+00:00

Can’t wait to see people ignore it or claim everyday is International Men’s Day, then continue to ignore men’s issues.

my-blood · 2020-11-18T14:01:45+00:00

Hey everyone, this is to just let you know that it's International Men's day for OP because of time zones. So while it is tomorrow for you, Australia gets it early

evenmoremeancomments · 2020-11-18T13:37:37+00:00

Does anyone have some interesting links to share for international men's day? I want to spread awareness

Sabrine_Crystal_1992 · 2020-11-18T15:08:07+00:00

I think it is sad that the International man day is a forgotten day and it is not celebrated in the same way the International Women day is.

I think this is unfair.

Mad_Hatter_92 · 2020-11-18T14:46:03+00:00

Lol. My company always tries to be “woke”. All the LGBT,Women’s rights, etc... announcing all the days for groups (like today’s international men’s day). But so far I see nothing on the calendar. I wonder if I’ll get an email...

LOL, there’s a meeting both today and tomorrow for one group... it’s titled “Women’s Forum For the Economy & Society - “Beyond Recovery, Designing an Inclusive World” Fucking hell, 7 hours of people speaking on and off throughout the day (international company so some are in my sleeping hours, but still) there’s CEOs, former diplomats, past advisors of Obama’s administrations... giant hodgepodge people giving speeches. I typically don’t even look at these things on the calendar b/c im not trying to waste time outside of my normal work, but I had to take a closer look considering the circumstances

anoamas321 · 2020-11-18T13:09:05+00:00

Its not till tomorrow, but will be interesting to see how much coverage it will get

Roary93 · 2020-11-18T13:57:06+00:00

Where in Australia mate? Gathering it's either NSW, VIC or Tassie

FullGamer303 · 2020-11-18T14:27:21+00:00

what? i didnt know about it! happy international men’s day!

EuphoricCookie · 2020-11-18T14:57:37+00:00

I didn't even know we had a day. Nice.

rtyghhh · 2020-11-18T16:36:26+00:00

Yay I’m only 12 but still

Aeeee23 · 2020-11-18T20:29:30+00:00

YAY! FINALLY! I FEEL SO GOOD! HOW FUCKING LONG HAVE WE HAD AN INTERNATIONAL MENS DAY? in all m y years of living i never fucking even knew we had our own day!

kaunText · 2020-11-18T13:10:56+00:00

Poor man's awards : 🌟⭐🌠✨💫✴️

Because I want this to get coverage.

jeff_the_nurse · 2020-11-18T12:23:22+00:00

It’s tomorrow.

SynovialBee0 · 2020-11-18T14:28:53+00:00

Well for me it’s on March 10th

afrodavis327 · 2020-11-18T19:02:30+00:00

Wow, literally not a SINGLE thing about International Men's Day found on social media other than Reddit. And I also found out that today is also World Toilet Day, which I think really says something about our importance and worth in society.

Massiah89 · 2020-11-18T23:47:21+00:00

It always upsets me that its so rarely mentioned. Women's day is always this big thing at work, but men's day is never mentioned.

It would just be nice to be acknowledged.

whymydicksmell · 2020-11-19T00:14:31+00:00

I just wanted to say HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MENS DAY! One of the biggest problems men face is that they are deemed as weak if they show vulnerability, and many are afraid to ask for help when they are struggling. If you need somebody to talk to DM me. Pass it along!

FesseEnChocolat · 2020-11-19T00:42:10+00:00

Media coverage ?

0

Throwaway_Old_Guy · 2020-11-18T14:45:04+00:00

As much as I appreciate the sentiment behind having an International Men's Day, I'll pass.

If you can't see fit to treat me like I matter for the other 364 days, Please don't go making a big show of pretending for just one.

I'm not looking for ticker-tape parades or trophies. A simple nod of the head, a genuine smile or a quiet Thank you is more than enough. If you can't bring yourself to do any of those, at least refrain from being critical for what I have done to make your life better.

Mudkip330 · 2020-11-18T14:55:52+00:00

...the fact that i didnt even know it was National men’s day is sad

OnlyOneIronMan888 · 2020-11-18T16:06:38+00:00

It's actually tomorrow for me, but thank you for reminding me.

Dickless_50s_Boy · 2020-11-18T16:30:05+00:00

I thought it was the 19th? Edit: oh wait today is the 19th

ninja_deli · 2020-11-18T16:47:08+00:00

Happy US day gents!

GltyUntlPrvnInncnt · 2020-11-18T18:06:16+00:00

Feminists say we don't need this because every day is men's day.

fioresspecter20 · 2020-11-18T18:20:12+00:00

I found out I have depression and anxiety just yesterday. Guess I have to deal with them myself

1van1989 · 2020-11-18T18:41:32+00:00

Movember brothers.

brcn3 · 2020-11-18T18:43:53+00:00

It is?!? I had absolutely no indication of if from the media.

jackjo937 · 2020-11-18T19:19:24+00:00

I personally don't celebrate these days like women's day and men's day and lots of the others because I think we should not be spending one day where we talk about a group of peoples problems shouldn't that be every day?

kiko003 · 2020-11-18T19:33:34+00:00

My school makes a big deal out of International women's day, but today no one brought up International men's day.

2020-11-18T20:59:41+00:00

Didn't even know. Not a single mention in the local media. You'd think men don't exist or something.

Pharan · 2020-11-18T22:15:26+00:00

Happy mens day. Hearts to you all.

James_Moist_ · 2020-11-19T04:18:53+00:00

Great, let's spread awareness of the issues like mental health plaguing our world!

girraween · 2020-11-18T20:42:46+00:00

I got ghosted by this girl because I posted about international men’s day on Insta. I did Movember in memory of a mate of mine who died from suicide. So suicide and depression were the key things for me.

This girl saw that and decided to ghost me because of it. I only know this because I asked her several months later why she ghosted me.

Dodged a massive bullet. The girl also had herpes too.

rabel111 · 2020-11-18T17:06:50+00:00

Just did my annual search of Australian university websites for referrences to "international men's day", and as usual the response was a unanimous "nothing found". A similar search for "international womens day" return a wealth of hits and glossly smiling faces.

Australian universities remain strongholds of misandry and anti-male gender hatred. Silence is hate speech.

morfeuzz · 2020-11-18T15:53:56+00:00

Had to comment on this . Way to go guys .

40moreyears · 2020-11-18T15:59:01+00:00

That’s awesome thanks for the heads up. Didn’t know until the notification popped up.

2020-11-18T16:11:58+00:00

Happy men's day:

KorvisKhan · 2020-11-18T17:50:45+00:00

And nobody knows about it. But on women's day they can't throw enough confetti

Theo_Stormchaser · 2020-11-18T19:05:32+00:00

Nice. Gonna celebrate with my best friend.

Starmind0 · 2020-11-19T02:38:13+00:00

Happy international men's day, beautiful humans❤

PyramidBreaker1984 · 2020-11-19T03:27:29+00:00

This is the first mens day post I have some across today

Imoldok · 2020-11-19T03:50:52+00:00

Funny it didn’t make it onto Targets calendar for employees.

theholdencaulfield_ · 2020-11-19T04:20:19+00:00

or if they even react in the first place

2020-11-19T06:12:53+00:00

Was very interested/curious to learn about men’s day when i saw the headline of your post.

I’m sure your fellow men’s rights activists who actually care about men’s rights were happy to see that instead of you providing information about international men’s day/raising awareness, you made sure to use the body of your post to confirm people’s preconceptions about men’s rights activism being about trolling and making others upset. Way to stand up for the issues that are most important to you internet troll!

sub2Doggs4Life · 2020-11-19T06:18:09+00:00

There’s people from all over Reddit who have seen this post and are curious about what international mens day is. Instead of informing them/educating them/being an activist/advocate, it sounds like you’re more interested in seeing how people react to the existence of men’s day. Thanks for confirming many’s preconceptions about what most mens rights activists are all about - instead of being an activist/advocate for the rights of men, it appears you’re just excited/primarily focused on seeing how upset your activism has made others!

Formal-Tadpole7538 · 2020-11-19T06:39:13+00:00

Winnies out!

bigwillysam · 2020-11-19T08:30:31+00:00

The company i work for (public body as well) did not recognise this last year, and has not done so today. However, 8th March they love international womens day...

not_so_nazi · 2020-11-19T10:45:22+00:00

This day is so fucking useless

sub2Doggs4Life · 2020-11-19T10:55:05+00:00

o god kill me

why did this 2 second post get so popular

MensEquality · 2020-11-20T14:51:00+00:00

They won't even care, especially with a lack of support by the female-biased media.

Moondoria5 · 2020-11-18T23:14:03+00:00

So women commit more criminal activity than men amd get respected for it? Goes to show of how terrible our society has become.

abdullahmnsr2 · 2020-11-18T16:21:20+00:00

It's actually tomorrow. I'm curious to see if Google changes its doodle or not, this year.

fried-noodles_ · 2020-11-18T15:44:09+00:00

Isn’t it tomorrow? November 19?

a_flacid_peniss · 2020-11-18T17:25:48+00:00

windows_n_cheese · 2020-11-18T17:02:20+00:00

Where are you in the world? It's still the 18th for me. :(

DirtyDanThe3rd · 2020-11-18T17:08:40+00:00

Oh yeeeeaaa. This is gonna be a great factual post tomorrow.

Many thanks!

the_crx · 2020-11-18T21:25:40+00:00

Its actually tomorrow. I remember that because it's on my birthday.

Jaja_Aureolin · 2020-11-18T16:54:28+00:00

I'm a man , who cares ?

There shouldn't even be a need for such days however it does spread some positivity and poisons the bones and hair of those who deserve it mainly Man hating and Woman hating trollops which makes it all the more fun to see

Let's not forget the economic boost such a day brings when a bro brings his homie a ticket or some token of burly love - totally not gay

It's tommorow the 19th isn't it?

iloomynazi · 2020-11-18T13:58:35+00:00

This post is so telling. OP is going to “see how people react to it” rather than using the occasion to draw attention to men’s issues. Presumably he’ll be looking for LiBtArDs who take issue with it so can manufacture some outrage.

This is why nobody takes this movement seriously. Some of us care about the issues, others just want to trigger the libs.

No-Signature2742 · 2020-11-18T20:16:31+00:00

Every single day is men's day... The only men that don't realize are you all, a bunch of feminized bitches who whine and moan about how something is not fair, and no one wants to date you because you are an awful person (oops 'nice guy'). Grow the fuck up, man up and stop being so pathetic.
