"Fuck International Men's Day, what we really need is an 'End Patriarchy Day'" blithers some clown at Oxfam.

Nobody even celebrates Men's day! Google doesn't even put a banner up. They won't let men have anything.

All of it started as days of gratitude and turned into what it is now. Let’s use this day to be grateful for the great men we have in our life. Dads, brothers, uncles, grandparents, friends, co-workers, role-models and all great men who deserve gratitude and recognition.

The word patriarchy feels outdated to some men; for others it feels accusatory.

It's meant to be accusatory because it is used as an accusation.

For sure, patriarchy is too often over-simplified to refer to all men having power over all women.

This is what feminists actually believe patriarchy means; all men have power over all women.

We all know, though, that this analysis doesn’t work – the white woman head of the CEO in NYC has more power (and much more income) than her Pakistani immigrant Uber driver.

This, and rebuttals similar to it, have been offered to and rejected by feminists.

Patriarchy also pits groups of men against other groups of men.

Sort like what you're trying to do right now (feminist good boys vs. evil cishetero patriarchs)?

To be honest no one should have a day. All this BS to make people feel special.

I don’t see how most of his points don’t also apply to women’s day

Edit: Nevermind, men are toxic and just die earlier because we can’t see a doctor properly

Patriarchy: the conspiracy that all men work together to put women down at every opportunity.

Except for International Men's Day. For some reason, the shadowy hand that rules all aspects of the world just can't seem to get its act together to get the day acknowledged.

Absolutely, individual men have problems, and the gendered expectations of how men should be (strong at all costs, silent in the face of pain, self-sufficient) are part of this. All these examples of men’s health issues and vulnerabilities are real and need urgent attention.

This scumbag is exactly the problem he describes, I'm so fucking tired of this, the moment men speak out about their problems through oh I don't know an event like international men's day people like him are ready to slap men down and attack them.

I encourage everyone to read this article to understand the mentality morons like this guy have, feminists are so obsessed with battling a myth that they have created that they are willing to let real men with real problems die just so they can take it to the 'evil 1%' as they see it when it's more like far less than that.

This article was written by a man? What a POS. I knew some assholes would have a problem with any appreciation at all being shown to men.

Self contradictory gibberish.

rahsoft · 2019-11-19T21:04:17+00:00

nah.. what the world needs is for the head of oxfam to stop milking the charity of people by taking a massive pay cut to the 1 million pound a year( maybe more now) salary they get paid for doing what?

.. being a clueless twat

'Patriarchy' is a weasel-word used to blame all society's problems on men without giving men credit for the advantages of society. It also implies that women are powerless victims while all men are unjustly privileged. It is feminism in one word. And its completely at odds with reality. Does anyone outside Feminist Propaganda class believe that the average man has more power, or that men have an easier life than the average woman? Does anyone believe that billionaire families are mostly men? How can one say that Men's Rights is anti-woman but feminism is about equality? Many leaders in Men's Rights are female. In contrast, men in feminism are told to keep silent.
