Got called sexist because someone thought I said "No one cares about Women's day" when I corrected and told them I said "No ones cares about Men's day" their response was "Oh okay".

Because it's not "cool" to demand men's equality.

Gonra · 2018-03-09T00:05:01+00:00

I never cared about either of them tbh

What is the story behind those two days?

MajorKrunchen · 2018-03-09T01:13:28+00:00

Just two stupid days, that should not be a thing at all. Who cares about men or women day. It's just another day. Respect each other all the time, not just on particular days.

I hear so much of the same thing around here. You guys need to wake up and realize you live in a gynocentric society. Male rapist? Put him behind bars for years, hell do it even though we don't have enough evidence. Female rapist? The male obvious enjoyed it and came onto the female. Female antagonist? It's a sexist movie obviously. Boycott because it's hurting our girls. Every male is an antagonist? Womyn power.

Women are programmed to prioritize issues that pertain to them and this will never change. Women have to actually "wake up" and realize what they are doing unconsciously to make them think objectively. And the horrible part is that men are also programmed... to help women out over themselves. That's why we are so quick to be helpful when we hear women crying and in pain.

You gotta understand nobody gives a shit about men. Nobody. We are labeled as monsters, abusers, misogynists and whatever. Nevermind that men sacrificed their lives to protect their loved ones and country. Nevermind that millions of men died during many wars throughout history. Nevermind that it is men that are killing themselves at a 4 times higher rate than women. Nevermind that women find 80% of men as ugly when it comes to dating.

You're going to see double-standards everywhere. Women's day? It gets all the press. Men's day? EVERYDAY IS MEN'S DAY YOU MISOGYNIST. More women in stem? Nevermind that most women simply don't find math and sciences interesting and also how we don't see women being pushed into becoming coal miners, garbage collectors or construction workers.

You live in a gynocentric world; that's just how it is and how it will always be.

Austism_AP · 2018-03-08T23:59:04+00:00

I felt the same way nobody cares about us.

I've been pondering about that sort of attitude generally now for a bit because as people here may know I have a morbid fascination with people who are so obsessive about feminism and I'm trying to remember which video or article it was, might have been a video.

I think it was when I was watching some protest event or other and there was this guy going around asking questions and it may have even been a women's march. What really struck me was when they got pissed off with him for asking questions generally and they were getting aggressive and I think it was some LGBT activist ( You know the sort ) that made the most profound statement about this.

It was something like "Stop ruining our day" and that's when it finally clicked. I've always said that these fanatics don't want to consider men to be human beings especially anybody else who view male behaviour and men generally in a positive light and when you go in and tell them that to their faces on an event like international women's day it's like your crashing their party.

Further confirmation of this theory has started happening when I'm reading peoples comments generally and saw a comment on someone bringing up men on women's day saying "It's a bit like going to someone else's birthday party and saying why isn't there a birthday party for me?" and this is what it seems to be about for them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is for some of them I think what the tantrum throwing and labelling is about. We're all ruining their 'feel good' moment their virtue signalling by daring to show up and go "Hey, you're kind of being cunts to all these other people and specifically to men you know" they fucking hate it. It's a very fucking weird mentality but I think that's what is really going on with these activists especially.

A lot of them have no fucking life whatsoever even though they lie to themselves and act pretentious to anybody outside their groups. So it stands to reason by ruining these events at least in their view you're ruining their social time and their opportunity to look good in front of their friends and they don't seem to give a shit about the collateral damage along the way. Fuck knows why they don't just pick a night club or something to go to but I guess in their world if they're going to be sexually harassed there a protest event is the only safe place for them plus there are professional activists there who will be being paid to keep the 'party' going.

If my theory is right, then that just gives me all the more reason to ruin their fun, I think that person calling you sexist wasn't anything to do with you saying anything wrong. I think it was them trying to use their typical labelling tactics to shut up up and stop ruining their fun. It also indicates what a bunch of fucking sociopaths they are that they'd have fun messing with peoples' lives like this.

bigdaddyhank · 2018-03-09T09:13:55+00:00

I said many times, I dont care about womens day because it doesnt involve me. Its ok to tell someone to fuck of if they get pissy.

ApeX_Kitten · 2018-03-09T11:45:28+00:00

I don't even really understand how saying no one cares about either could be sexist. You could be saying it as a complaint.

Florid_Monkey · 2018-03-09T11:42:30+00:00

Lol, when I said happy women’s day to my mum her response was. “Thanks, I’ve worked so hard to get here /s”

Vanriel · 2018-03-09T09:26:18+00:00

Yeah I had a discussion on Discord with a bunch of people i play an online game with. One of them mentioned about international womens day and the other made a joke about not mentioning it because it would "trigger" me. I will admit i got a bit pissed off about the whole thing because as i pointed out the reactions to International Womens day and International Mens day are completely different, and brought up the fact that people treat men as disposables, and don't discuss issues men face such as shorter lifespans, higher risk of suicide and homelessness etc.

The result?

"Oh no you triggered him, lol!"

Thanks a bunch.

2018-03-09T13:56:41+00:00

Caring about men in your life is sexist now, wow.

M8753 · 2018-03-09T07:08:59+00:00

tbh maybe cause i'm young but from my pov men's day and father's day have been getting more attention recently. as in, ten years ago, men's day wouldn't have even been in anyone's thoughts. currently it's so confused that we have two days for men's day - the international one on November and national one on May.

2018-03-09T01:27:43+00:00

Ouch

2018-03-09T11:49:04+00:00

This made me sad and angry at the same time.

icecoldpopsicle · 2018-03-09T12:19:18+00:00

peer pressure, people are dumb fucks, they follow the crowd, might as well ask why sheep go off the cliff, because the other sheep did too ! Capture the top of the pile, then you can influence them at leisure. Rationality and equality are beyond the grasp of your average human being, we compute the world in chemical filled sponge. And then we mess with these chemicals for fun or even accidentally ! It's not a recipe for mad stability you know ;)

frisch85 · 2018-03-09T13:05:41+00:00

Imo most people who fight for minorities are just bored and want attention, why else would people start a fight without any reason?

For example I could imagine that if you would go on a date with the wrong vegan and you order meat,they would suddenly start a discussion just because you ordered meat, they don't care if you just ordered it because you felt like eating some meat, you being a meat-eater makes you a target for them.

iongantas · 2018-03-09T13:55:16+00:00

You should have said "see, it is actually you who are sexist."

Blah54054 · 2018-03-09T13:18:34+00:00

Double standards

Eastuss · 2018-03-09T10:48:33+00:00

But no one cares about women's day...

frackzilla · 2018-03-09T11:18:16+00:00

Don't you know it's only sexist if it's against women?

KingRobotPrince · 2018-03-09T11:09:32+00:00

Is there any chance that based on the context, they thought you were being negative when you said it about women's day?

Like when someone says "nobody cares about your goddam thing, so shut the hell up!" Because, based on the context, people obviously do care about women's day, which then made it sound negative.

But the way you intended it was more "it's such a shame that no one cares about men's day." Which doesn't sound negative, because it is true.

bearslikeapples · 2018-03-09T08:52:02+00:00

i dont care about none

CulturalWishbone · 2018-03-09T17:29:36+00:00

Only fools would care about either "men's day" or "women's day". The whole thing is waste of time. Example is that many black activists now do not like idea of "black history month", every day is day to study history of every group. By making black history month you saying that "this is not normally important so we make special time so some people can be happy and not feel left out". The entire idea of "x day" or "x month" means that "x" is not always important.

ThePigmanAgain · 2018-03-09T23:00:46+00:00

I hope you told them to go fuck themselves.

TherapyFortheRapy · 2018-03-09T11:19:52+00:00

Sorry, it's not worth it to post here. The mods are clearly feminist shills who never do a goddamned thing to stem the feminist brigades that constantly pour in here, so it's pointless to post here. Too many trolls the mods don't give a shit about, or outright favor.

It's easier to be banned here as an MRA, then it is as a feminist. That should tell you everything you need to know about this shit-show of a sub.

pomegranate2012 · 2018-03-09T09:51:03+00:00

It's kind of apples and oranges though. Celebrating men's contribution to science? That's called "science". There aren't special prizes for men's literature because that is... just literature.

In history, there have been women who've made some very impressive contributions to society, while also having to battle sexism. That probably hasn't happened in western society in about 20 to 30 years but, hey, there's nothing wrong with taking an interest in history.

And that's what women contributing to gender equality is: history.

2018-03-09T14:01:12+00:00

I think men's day isn't well known because there's no country where men can't drive cars, show their face or say no to a marriage proposal.
